from 4768 reviewsBought this cap and collected it at the London expo! Since it was a hot one, I wore it for the London marathon and it was great! The size can be adjusted in an easy way with the strap at the back. The mesh makes it super light and breathable, perfect also when I chucked water on my head. And I love the colours!

Lovely that there is a great and changing selection of designs which are different from the mainstream brands- it took quite a bit of agonising to decide which to go for! The tee fits true to size, is comfortable and feels well made, for a really reasonable price. Delivery was also really efficient and well packaged.

Usually the first item of kit I reach for when the weather gets hot. Extremely comfy during both long and short runs.
As always ordering was simple and delivery fast.
Thanks to Ben, his Mum and Sarah for the hand written card within the package.

Looking forward to starting this plan for the Chester Marathon to improve my time. Looks well structured

Bought this hat as i was looking for a light and good quality hat for general running and half marathons/ my first marathon. I have been using it alongside my Ben Parkes running plan and I am definitely "Getting it done". The hat is light and provides good coverage, you can easily forget it is on your head. Only used it on a few runs but the quality looks amazing so far. Might even have to buy a spare one.

A Bobby dazzler of a cap. Nice and airy for my sweaty noodle. Stylish practical design to boot.

I feel like "profi" wearing it and i look sooo cool 😎 just love it ! My husband made me a great surprise of buying it for my birthday present.
I really love the quality and for my 174cm hight size S is ok. Colour is exactly the same as at the picture .Delivery to Poland was without any problems. Thank you so much Ben&Sarah!

Had my eye on this design for a while. First of many tops I think so comfy and such a gorgeous design

Amazing design ,quality and sizing as always

Super nice shirt. Soft and breathing. And no scratching and bleeding from my nipples

One of the best running tees I’ve ever worn. Super lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying — perfect for long runs and intense workouts. The design is unique and eye-catching, and I love that it’s made from 100% recycled ocean plastic. It feels great to wear something that performs well and supports sustainability. Totally lives up to its name — Getting It Done!

I have received my item and as usual it arrived promptly and I enjoyed the little message inside.
I enjoy running with my hat and the product is well made and does the job. I would not hesitate to recommend this site to anyone that required a good well made product. I will be back for some more items soon.

The reason of this advanced it is to teach me how to race discipline and hardwork. Make me to plan the strategy of the race. Always race easy and smarter to lead me how to growth.

Bought the red one for the London marathon the fit was perfect without doubt the best running top I have owned so decided to order this one asap. They are top quality and would highly recommend this to any runner out there getting it done 😁👍
