Running Safety Gear
Show your loved ones you care by protecting them while they run. Running safety gear is especially important during the cold and dark winter months, so the holidays are a great time to stock up their supplies.
For trail runners, we recommend this combo flashlight/whistle from Nathan. Over 200 lumens of light and 120 decibels of sound make this perfect for running in areas without street lights or close to wildlife.
For road runners, we recommend this LED strobe light that clips on easily to bags or apparel. These weather resistant lights provide visibility rain or shine, and they’re ultra-compact so as not to disrupt the run.
For early morning or late night runners, we recommend reflective apparel like this reflective vest from Nathan and this bright hat and thermal headband from Brooks. Anything that makes your runner more visible to headlights is always a solid choice.

Running Accessories
Another important element of winter running: keeping warm! Hats, headbands, gaiters, and/or gloves are essential, as are sunglasses to protect from snow glare.
Goodr sunglasses provide reliable UV protection in addition to being stylish for outfits beyond athletic apparel. Even better is that Goodr makes sunglasses in widths narrow, medium, and large widths to fit different face shapes.
Brooks offers a variety of winter hats and gloves that are ultra-warm while still being lightweight and breathable, making the transition from outside to inside much more comfortable.

Hydration Packs & Bags for Runners
One of the greatest challenges runners face is how to carry their stuff while on the move. You can help solve this problem with bags made just for runners, especially those made for transporting water.
Sling bags are both trendy and convenient. Able to be worn around the waist or slung over the mid-body, this style stays out of the way while easily fitting cell phones, wallets, and keys. Sprints Sling It Bag has a color and pattern to fit the personality of any runner in your life, so you can’t go wrong!
Carrying a standard water bottle is an annoyance for many serious runners. Take the burden out of staying hydrated with hydration packs from Nathan. Go for a strapped-on handheld water bottle for short runs or a hydration backpack for the distance runner.

Running Socks
Socks are an underrated element of a comfortable run. They make a huge difference in foot health and shoe fit, so investing in high-quality pairs is a great gift for the regular runner.
Feetures athletic socks are built with targeted compression zones that enhance support by adapting to the natural shape of a runner’s foot. They come in no-show, ankle, and low-rise fits to suit your runner’s preference.
Balega socks provide premium comfort for the feet due to their moisture-managing fiber and friction free yarn. These socks keep feet cool and dry while still being breathable, which means they’re both durable and enjoyable to wear.

Running Shoe Care Products
Runners take great pride in their shoes, and you can help make sure they last for many more miles to come. Shoe care products are an ideal present for runners who crave durability and longevity.
Waterproofing spray is a perfect gift for winter runners who brave the elements every day. Keep shoes in good shape with Proline Water Proofer, which creates an effective barrier against rain, snow, and ice.
When shoes inevitably get dirty, that doesn’t signify the end for them. A good cleanser makes old shoes look good as new; we recommend this foam cleaner that easily removes surface stains and leaves a protective coating behind to repel future dirt and mud.
If scuff marks are an additional problem to stains, a shoe eraser is a great choice for easy removal. The best part is that sponges don’t use harsh chemicals, which protects the various materials found in athletic shoes.
