Six o'clock in the morning, two degrees, a headwind by the water: this is where your men's clothing makes a difference, and the Black Friday at Endurance Store is just right to complete your outfit. Running, trail or cycling, everything is sorted by type of item.
Choose a family, then your size, and build your outfit layer by layer.
The men's and unisex clothing on sale covers endurance sports on the site: road running, trail, cycling, and mountain sports. You can find everything from waterproof jackets for long Sunday runs to triathlete shorts or cycling jerseys. The filters by sport and product type allow you to sort through them in just a few clicks.
The classic mistake is to dress too warmly. After a kilometre, you start sweating, then cool down as soon as the pace slows. It's better to wear a close-fitting technical top, a thin warm layer if it's really cold, and a windbreaker that fits into a pocket.
Your extremities lose heat quickly: a thin beanie and lightweight gloves make a big difference on early morning outings. And when the days get shorter, choose items with reflective details to be seen by drivers.
adidas outfits runners from head to toe, with the Adizero line for fast sessions and competitions, and Terrex pieces for trail running.
La Sportiva, a mountain brand born in Trentino, Italy, offers lightweight Lumina down jackets, waterproof jackets, and technical trousers, designed for high-altitude trail running and mountaineering.
Swedish brand Craft is known for its technical underwear. Its SubZ range is designed for running in extreme cold, and the brand also outfits cyclists with its jerseys and shorts.
Mizuno offers running shorts, waterproof jackets, and lightweight tops. Under Armour completes the range with its Velociti and Launch jackets, designed for cold, wet outings.
A technical top should fit snugly to wick away sweat without compressing the chest. A pair of shorts needs to be well-fitted so that the chamois stays in place on the saddle. For a jacket, allow enough room to slip a warm layer underneath, without the sleeves riding up when you stretch your arms.
After the last Black Friday, the special outdoor offers gather reduced prices on outdoor textiles, and the Stock Clearance page features end-of-collection items. The men's new arrivals showcase the latest items added to the catalogue. The winter sales will take over after the holidays.
A waterproof jacket, ideally with a hood and sealed seams. A simple windbreaker stops the air but lets in a heavy shower. Both are on the jackets and windbreakers page: check for the waterproof label in the details.
For cycling, bib shorts stay in place better than ones with a waistband. To switch from cycling to running, a thin chamois is less bothersome once on foot. The discounted models are on the shorts and shorts page.
Tights hug the leg, don't chafe, and keep the muscles warm: that's the choice for most runners. Jogging trousers are more for warming up or post-race. The discounted tights are on the tights page.
With washing, the reinforced areas thin out and the sock offers less protection against blisters. A pair that slips in your shoe or shows the heel has had its time. The Black Friday is the perfect opportunity to buy new ones on the socks page.
Check for UV protection, the tint of the lenses depending on the light during your outings, and how they fit on your nose when you sweat. A wrap-around frame also protects against wind and dust. The selection is on the accessories page.
