The only hats I wear for both running and leisure. Would 100% recommend to anyone.

Recently purchased the elite running cap and soar singlet. Put them both through their paces at Comrades marathon, which was the ultimate stress test and was massively impressed. I don’t normally like running in caps, but for a 90km ultra in 25° heat it was essential and the elite cap did the job brilliantly. Kept the sun and sweat out my eyes perfectly with zero irritation even after almost 9hrs of racing. Poured a lot of water over my head to keep cool and it didn’t lose structure or move around. Great bit of kit that I’ll ensure stays with me for any hot races/runs in the future, big fan!

I have several Ben Parkes t-shirts and this has lived up to expectation.
Super quick delivery (UK), perfect fit (size XS (I’m a UK 10-12 and prefer a men’s fit t-shirt for all year wear)), and beautiful quality.
I really like Ben’s environmental considerations, with the choice to t-shirt and the packaging used to post. 10/10 🙌
Highly recommended.

This is my 5th Ben Parkes cap and this time, I fancied an elite cap for running, but I still wanted a panel to cover the top of my head rather than the netting. This fits the bill perfectly as it has both.
I’ve been wearing it for both running and whilst relaxing on the sun bed on my holiday in Cyprus.
It washes well, both in the washing machine with my running gear, and by hand on holiday.
Very comfortable and light to wear. Highly recommended!

great plan, I just started and I feel I can achieve my target!

Awesome plan - really impressed with the level of detail in both run plan and strength training.

One of my absolute fav tees to wear! Super comfy and fits true to size. My friend asked "hey you running today?" So I took a selfie, sent it, and we both enjoyed a good laugh.

Tee is made of very good quality. Fits true to size, some eye catching colors, and nice quirky tag line that puts a smile of my fellow runner's faces. Shipping was reasonable and I thoroughly enjoy wearing this.

Having been running 5k distance just outside of 30mins (57yr old beginner) and managing 34:59 at the Blenheim Palace Sprint Tri, not bad after the 2 other disciplines, my aim is to be comfortably running sub 30min 5k distances by September. So apologies it’s not really a review but it’s my inspiration…. Does that count to go in the hat.

I’m really pleased I bought this for my holiday to Cyprus. It’s helped keep the sun off my face/ears when exploring and it was great on my very hot run this morning.
I probably look a bit of a plonker in it, but I don’t care. I am very happy with it and I recommend it. The adjustable fit is good, and it’s easy to wash too.

Hey Ben,

I’ve been a recreational runner for over 10 years, but the marathon distance always felt intimidating.. something I admired from afar. I’ve been watching your YouTube videos and really appreciate how genuine and down-to-earth you are. Your guidance has been a huge help.

In March, I bought your Level 3 plan with the goal of running a sub-3:45 marathon. But as the training block progressed, I felt stronger and more confident, so I readjusted my goal to sub-3:15. I followed every session religiously, and I’m elated to share that I just finished my first marathon in 3:14:37!

This PR is for you, Ben. Your plan has not only improved my running physically, but it’s also had a profound impact on my mental toughness. I’ve grown so much through this process.. my eyes welled up crossing that finish line.

And guess what? I’m about to click “Download” on the Sub-3 plan now. You’ve truly inspired me. You should be proud, Ben.. thank you!

My first Ben Parkes purchase as the hat looked cool but I’m doubly impressed with how well it’s been made and lots of mesh to let the heat out when on the trails. I’m a big fan 👌

Great purchase for my wife for her long trail runs; fits nicely and doesn’t make her overheat as other caps have done in the past

great quality, looks good, perfect fit

Very happy with the L2 plan for Half-marathon!
