Fit Types in Running Apparel
- Compression Fit: Many running apparel items, such as tights and shirts, come in a compression fit, which is snug to the body. This is designed to increase circulation and support muscles during activity.
- Regular Fit: This fit provides a bit more freedom and flexibility for those who prefer less tight-fitting apparel.
- Loose Fit: Some runners prefer loose-fitting running apparel, particularly for shorts or outer layers, to maximize comfort and airflow.
