from 4665 reviewsLovely designed shirt! Feels good to wear! Looking forward to wearing it on my runs! Will definitely be back to order another one!

This is my second Ben Parkes running hat (as I loves my first one so much). They fit amazingly well and are able to be adjusted very easily. Made with really good quality materials and very robust as well. I bought this one to go with my race gear due to the smart and sleek look of it. If you're on the fence, get off the fence and make the purchase! You won't regret it

Very happy with the T-shirt and looks great. Thoroughly recommend it.

Super light and a great fit, ideal for summer running and casual wear!

I really enjoyed following this plan. I felt confident on the start line of the Newport Marathon knowing that I had followed it almost to the letter. I trained at the slower end of the plan and achieved the 3:14 PB I was aiming for. It's brilliant because I can use the exact same plan to try and achieve my ultimate goal of getting a sub 3 next year. Thanks, Ben!

Confession: I bought this as a last minute vest for The Newport Marathon and never tested it before the race. I know you shouldn't do stuff like that but I had 100% faith in the Soar brand because they're held in such high regard. You don't even realise you're wearing it, and that is most helpful in a marathon when you want to keep the discomfort to a minimum. It looks great too. I followed Ben's Level 4 Marathon training plan and wanted to represent the brand and feel good on the start line. The vest definitely helped with that. I'm 5ft 9" with a 36" chest and the SMALL fitted perfectly.
Great fit, super comfortable. Fits true to size. Another great product from Ben! 10/10 would recommend.

Excellent quality and fit. Goes with any colour shorts

Nice quality cap that dries very quickly. If you are bored of the standard running hats out there, this is a great option.

I have bought a few pieces of clothing from Ben before and have always been impressed so I thought I would try out one of his training plans. I am currently on Week 2 and it is excellent, clear, concise and easy to follow. I have integrated Bens warmup and cooldown videos into my running and this plan is now really keeping me on track!! Would highly recommend

Love the vibrant pattern and colors against the white! Feels great while I run too with the light fabric.

Love the vibrant color of this shirt and it’s also very light for good air flow.

I bought this for my partner and he absolutely loves it and we’ve washed it 4 times and it’s still perfect and he says it’s super comfortable

Great looking plan well laid out and very informative

Looking for a hat to protect ma lugs on hot sunny days for both runs and gardening. Very impressed nice and lightweight and a pull cord to keep it secure so far very impressed
