Why run in a vest?
Ten o’clock, July, climbing in full sun: under a t-shirt, heat gets trapped around your shoulders. A running vest leaves your arms and shoulders free so air can circulate. Both styles in the collection are designed for running in warm weather, with full breathability. They’re made for short, intense events, explosive summer efforts and racing. Choose a running vest for a fast run or a race in intense heat; if you’ll be in full sun for several hours, protect your shoulders. Wear them as a base layer, directly against the skin. The FAURIO is designed for trail runners who push the pace.
FAURIO and FAURIO TEAM: 75 g or 85 g
The FAURIO weighs 75 g in size M. Its stretch fabric allows unrestricted movement and dries quickly during exercise. Its open-cut arms and shoulders provide maximum ventilation. Reflective details help you stay visible on night runs.
The FAURIO TEAM weighs 85 g in size M. It is a limited edition for spring–summer 2026, with a pattern inspired by the Vercors landscape. Its ultra-stretch fabric follows every movement. Open-knit fabric promotes airflow and helps keep you cool during exercise; flat seams reduce the risk of irritation. If you run with a pack, choose the FAURIO TEAM: its cutaway design accommodates a trail pack.
Odour control and drying: the CimaFresh treatment
Both running vests feature CimaFresh treatment. Its antibacterial action limits the growth of odour-causing bacteria. The treatment is discreet and odourless. It remains effective after several washes and does not alter the fabric’s breathability or feel.
Both running vests dry exceptionally quickly. The treatment lets you wear the running vest for longer without discomfort.
What size running vest should you choose?
For both styles, choose your usual size. The athletic fit sits close to the body as a base layer. The stated weights, 75 g for the FAURIO and 85 g for the TEAM, are measured in size M.
Pair the FAURIO with a race bib or a lightweight jacket to pull on over it when the air cools at altitude.
