Running gear refers to the accessories and wearables worn by individuals while running or being engaged in related activities. It primarily includes athletic wearables such as shoes, gloves, jackets, tights, smart watches and goggles. Among these, products such as gloves and jackets are usually skin fit and made from water-resistant materials to prevent chafing of the skin and rain or wind penetration. Running gear also provides a protective layer, thus reducing the chances of any injury and also aids in better air circulation while performing any physical activity. On the other hand, smart running gear devices enable consumers to track their fitness progress, thus helping in keeping an enhanced motivational spirit during formal fitness training.
