Quick drying activewear

You've got big training plans. Early morning runs before work, tempo sessions at sunset, long runs on Saturday. Your training is intentional, your goals are clear and you need running gear that keeps up.

When you're training multiple times a day or week, sometimes you wear the same pair of running shorts twice in a row - there’s no judgement here. If you’re logging serious kilometres, the last thing you need is heavy, slow-drying activewear that overheats mid-run or stays damp for hours. 

The right fabric means the difference between feeling free and fast on your run, and feeling weighed down. Here's how fabric weight, weave and moisture management work together to keep you moving through multi-session training weeks. 

Why fabric weight matters for runners

When you're chasing a PB, every detail counts. Fabric weight is one of them.

Lightweight fabrics dry faster and feel barely there on your body. Less material means less water retention and less weight to carry through the final kilometres of a long run. This matters when you're running in humid Australian summers or stacking sessions back-to-back.

Our In Pace running collection uses FreeLuxe fabric; it feels like nothing, so you can feel everything on your run. That mid-run feeling when everything clicks and you're just moving. We built that into FreeLuxe.

Fine-gauge nylon that feels weightless yet supportive. It delivers firm compression without restriction and dries fast between training sessions.

Heavy fabrics trap heat and moisture. They weigh you down, take hours to dry and can overheat you mid-run. Not what you need when you're working towards a big goal.

How fabric construction affects drying time

The way fabric is constructed affects how it performs under pressure.

Tight weaves trap heat. Loose weaves let air circulate. Our technical running fabrics are engineered to pull moisture away from your skin and move it to the surface, where it evaporates.

In Pace uses smooth, low-friction fabric with bonded seams. No bulk, no chafing. It wicks sweat during your run and dries in hours, not days. This is how your running shorts stay ready for your next session.

The science of moisture management

Quick-dry performance is about more than comfort. It directly impacts temperature regulation and endurance. The less time sweat sits on your skin, the more efficiently your body cools itself. You stay lighter, fresher and ready for another kilometre.

It’s the same reason elite marathoners and casual joggers alike look for gear with moisture-wicking labels, because it’s not a buzzword, it’s a performance feature.

What to look for in performance running gear

Not all running gear is built for serious training. You're already managing your pace, your breathing and that voice in your head at the 20km mark. Your gear shouldn't be another thing to think about.

Here's what makes the difference when you're working towards a PB.

Fabric weight: Light enough to feel barely there, structured enough to support your stride. Freedom fabric that performs at the highest level.

Moisture-wicking: Pulls sweat away from your skin to keep you dry and cool during hard efforts.

Construction: Bonded seams eliminate bulk and reduce chafing during long runs.

Breathability: Air circulation prevents overheating and speeds up drying time.

Storage solutions: Purpose-built pockets for gels, phone, keys and cards. Secure storage that doesn't bounce.
