from 4776 reviewsI've wanted a Ben Parkes crew neck for ever, and I finally got one for Mother's Day. The medium fits perfectly and the quality is fantastic.

I find marking off the training sessions really motivating.

As usual, another quality running singlet with quick delivery .I would highly recommend this item.

Bought as a gift for my husband. He loves it and impressed with the light weightless of it and air holes venting his sweaty head! Fab design too. Think a collection might be starting!!

Perfect fit, lightweight and smart looking. Reviews are correct that the sizing is slightly large. I am a 38" chest, got the small and it is perfect size. Also great that both the tee and all the packaging are recycled. Couldn't ask for more. Thoroughly recommended!

This is my third Soar singlet, as I live in them through the summer.
Extremely lightweight, chafe free, breathable and a great fit too. They aren't cheap, but imo are worth the money.
The sweat wicking capabilites are amazing and they never make you feel too hot, no matter what the weather temperature is.
Highly recommend them. What are you waiting for?! go get one now 🤣

It’s lightweight, breathable, and perfect for long runs. The colors and design stand out without being too flashy. Plus, I love that it’s made from recycled ocean plastic—sustainable and functional!

Nice hat, lightweight but due to having a low crown it made my ears stick out so had to return.

Bought 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.
