Whenever you plan to go out for a run, do you ever think about this question: What should I wear?
Some people are fully equipped for running and always dress up neatly before going out, with waist packs, leg guards, sweatbands, and so on, striving to have everything others have! But some runners are more casual, simply dressing based on their mood or convenience. Actually, regarding the question of what to wear, Codoon wants to say: Running should be about happiness above all!
As the weather gets hotter, Codoon is conducting a small survey:
The results are almost as Codoon expected. Due to the high temperatures, almost no friends chose long sleeves. Most netizens are oscillating between short sleeves, sleeveless, and 'bare running,' but sometimes we also need to consider serious issues like city appearance.
Short sleeve group ↓
@Hui Fuqiang: I wear short sleeves when running, and if it gets too hot, I run bare.
@Jack0810: 'Codoon,' at least wear a quick-dry shirt! Quality, pay attention to quality!
@tangsmiling: I wear short sleeves in summer to dissipate heat!
@run奔跑: Hot, tank top.
@Colgate360: I also like to run bare-chested, but it's a bit indecent, so I need a few decent quick-dry shirts.
@Liu Junhong: I mainly wear short sleeves and shorts. Occasionally, I wear a vest.
When running in the summer, the weather is hot, so breathability and sweat-wicking are very important. Sweating is the body's main cooling mechanism. When training in hot weather, you must pay attention to the choice of sportswear and avoid wearing regular clothes like cotton T-shirts. Pure cotton clothes may feel comfortable in daily wear, but they stick to the skin when you sweat a lot, which is not conducive to sweating and heat dissipation.
Some people might think that running bare-chested is more breathable and cooler, but this view is actually wrong. Running bare-chested is not as professional in terms of sweat-wicking as a quick-dry shirt. Quick-dry shirts not only absorb sweat but also allow for rapid evaporation of moisture, achieving the purpose of quick drying.
Codoon 60g ultra-light running T-shirt uses DRYGEAR custom fabric, which wicks sweat and dries twice as fast as ordinary sports T-shirts. Wearing it for running and other sports makes you feel drier and cooler than 'bare running'!
At the same time, the Codoon 60g ultra-light running T-shirt weighs only one-third of a regular T-shirt, giving you an ultra-light bare feeling experience. Its price is only one-tenth of other international brand ultra-light running T-shirts!
However, some netizens said that wearing short sleeves for running easily causes sunburn, so they choose to wear ice sleeves, which are both sun-protective and cool, killing two birds with one stone.
Sun protection group ↓
@Jia Gejun: I like to wear short sleeves, but no matter how hot it is, I always wear ice sleeves because I'm afraid of getting tanned.
@Jianli Liuchunguo: Short sleeves when there's no sun, long sleeves when there is.
@Running Ape: Short sleeves + arm sleeves.
@Anran Xiaohun Lily: I like short sleeves, but I'm afraid of getting tanned.
In fact, ice sleeves are a great choice for summer sports. Wearing short sleeves while running can easily cause your arms to get tanned in sections, showing two different colors. Therefore, it is recommended to wear ice sleeves, which do not affect appearance and also protect the skin, giving you a cool experience.
In addition, sun-protective leg socks are also a must-have item for many people running in the summer.
They not only protect and stabilize our leg muscles but also have breathable, moisture-wicking, and UV-protective functions.
When running, hiking, or doing outdoor sports in the summer, many people also choose sun hats. They can provide shade, have good ventilation, and the circular brim can block sweat from flowing down. It is recommended to choose a visor hat for better breathability.
The professional-grade ultra-light running visor hat uses Coolpass moisture-wicking fabric, which wicks sweat quickly, is breathable and comfortable, and also has antibacterial functions.
There are also sun-protective skin jackets,which can be worn in multiple ways, windproof, waterproof, and sun-protective, making them the best companion for your summer outdoor sports.

Finally, it is important to remind everyone to exercise within their limits and listen to their body's signals.
No matter the circumstances, we should always listen to our body's feedback. In high temperatures, we should be even more cautious. Early symptoms of heatstroke include fatigue, drowsiness, chest tightness, cessation of sweating, confusion, and nausea. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should immediately stop exercising, replenish electrolyte drinks, and restore your body's functions.
Additionally, many novice runners set their goals too high at the beginning, not realizing that these goals often exceed their capabilities. Running is a long-term exercise, not something that can be achieved overnight. Those who run fast have undergone years of scientific training to perform at a high level in competitions. For amateur runners, running slowly will help you run farther. The distance should gradually increase, step by step, within your limits.
If running long distances, it's best to run with a partner to look out for each other. If any warning signs appear, remind each other or stop. Running with a group can organize logistical support, provide water at designated points, and offer help if someone is exhausted, preventing danger. If running alone, it's best to keep it within 10 kilometers and bring a drink. If you experience heatstroke symptoms such as dizziness, headache, thirst, fatigue, or palpitations, call 120 emergency services immediately, move the person to a cool place, lay them down, and give them a sugary drink.
