It has a reflective trim for those who like to head out for a run at dawn and dusk, and is Consciously Made from lightweight fabric - Dare 2b uses sustainable fabric where it can and a huge amount of its clothing is now made from recycled materials.
The Recreate II 2-In-1 Shorts have everything you need from a running short. They have a lightweight outer and a silky soft Q-Wic stretch liner that moves sweat away from your skin. They’re quick drying, too, and feature an elasticated waistband and internal drawcord to keep them in place. Add to this a reflective trim for your night-based and early morning running, and a zipped pocket for your essentials and these are a must.

Couple this with a durable water repellent finish, taped seams for complete protection, zip pockets to keep essentials safe, and this is a waterproof that you’ll want to wear whatever the weather.
The Jenson Button Edit has some stunning items but top of our list is the Stay Ready Recycled Waterproof Jacket. Consciously Made from recycled ARED20/20 fabric, it has the breathability factor you want from a jacket while offering a huge amount of waterproof protection. From its taped seams to wired hood, this is one stylish jacket that has been designed to keep you warm and dry in all adverse weather adventures.
From The Laura Whitmore Edit, these Influential Recycled Leggings are made from recycled super-quick drying, lightweight Q-Wic fabric and have an all-important hidden pocket for stashing keys and the like.

Everyone needs a lightweight hoodie as part of their activewear and this one from The Laura Whitmore Edit is ideal. It’s a soft, stretchy and lightweight workout hoodie that’s made from sweat-wicking Q-Wic fabric.

Personally, we’d get the Women's Already Recycled Waterproof Jacket just for the ace Duck Green colour (other colour options are available as well), but there are many more reasons to purchase this one. As you can tell from the name, it’s Consciously Made from recycled fabric, is super waterproof and breathable for reliable rain and wind protection, and has taped seams and a durable water repellent finish to shield you from those pesky elements when you are on a hike.
