Since entering the running apparel scene in 2014, Tracksmith’s aesthetic has exuded clean-cut, preppy, East-Coast vibes. Think fast track runners who put on cardigans once they’re showered at their private New England school. Yet now Tracksmith is charging into a new, dirtier, grungier realm: Trail running.
The brand has made individual pieces of trail running apparel in the past, but as of this week it’s going all-in with the new Overland Collection. Anchored by a new trail running shoe, the line includes a long- and short-sleeve tee, shorts for men and half tights for women, a jacket, hydration vest, and a hat (the only item in the collection under $100).
Since I’m a dirty, grungy trail runner (and proud of it), I happily stepped into just about every item from the new kit, head-to-toe, for a 7-mile mountain run in the Indian Peaks above Boulder, Colorado.
Here’s how each item fared as the run unfolded.
