The Best Clothes for Running

DFND designs high-performance men’s running clothes that deliver real results. From compression shorts and tights to moisture-wicking Speed Tech running shirts, every piece is built to support endurance and keep you moving comfortably. This collection combines American-made craftsmanship and cutting-edge fabrics to help you perform at your peak—on the track, trail, road, or anywhere else you run. 

Whenever you're logging miles or pushing through intervals, DFND running apparel offers the durability and muscle support that serious runners demand.

Shorts, Shirts, and Socks Built for Runners

DFND’s gear for runners is trusted by elite athletes and military professionals alike—and it shows in every detail. Our men’s compression shorts are engineered with graduated compression to improve blood flow and reduce muscle vibration during intense training. By stabilizing quads, hamstrings, and glutes, these shorts help prevent fatigue and enhance endurance through every stride. 

Compression socks do more than cover your calves—they actively support blood circulation and reduce post-run soreness. Constructed with high-quality material (75% nylon), these socks are among the best compression gear for runners looking to minimize downtime and maximize output. DFND also offers compression calf sleeves and ankle sleeves—ideal for managing muscle fatigue and enhancing recovery without full-foot coverage.

Moisture-wicking clothing—like the Speed Tech USA Shield SS Shirt and Ice Hooded Sun Shirt—feature quick-drying material treated with FUZE antibacterial technology. These running shirts deliver permanent antimicrobial protection while helping to regulate body temperature in hot or cool weather. Lightweight and breathable, they offer maximum freedom of movement without sacrificing performance.

DFND also offers lightweight non-compression training shorts made with ultra-durable, four-way stretch fabric for unrestricted movement and lasting comfort.

Each item in the DFND running lineup is designed to work as part of a complete running outfit. From training to recovery, every element delivers high performance backed by science and experience.

  • Reduces muscle oscillation to prevent fatigue and strain

Frequently asked Questions about Running Gear

Yes—compression shorts are highly beneficial for running. DFND’s compression shorts are designed with graduated compression that improves blood flow and reduces muscle vibration. This translates to less fatigue during long runs and reduced soreness afterward. These shorts also help prevent chafing and provide a streamlined fit under running shorts or outer layers. Studies show that runners who wear compression gear often experience greater endurance and faster recovery times. The multiple benefits of compression make these types of shorts a smart addition to your collection of performance running gear.
Absolutely. Many elite runners wear compression socks to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and support recovery during and after runs. Because runners at this level often have back-to-back training sessions, the ability of compression socks to improve circulation and flush out metabolic waste (like lactic acid) is vital for reducing downtime and maintaining consistently high performance. DFND compression socks feature true graduated compression to promote blood flow and reduce calf soreness. These socks also help manage moisture and eliminate odor-causing bacteria, in addition to reducing fatigue and minimizing cramping. Wearing compression socks consistently can also reduce the risk of shin splints and muscle strain.
Yes—UV shirts are highly effective, especially for runners who spend hours training outdoors. DFND long sleeve running shirts are equipped with built-in UPF 50+ protection that block 98% of harmful UV rays. They help prevent sunburn and skin damage while also offering lightweight, moisture-wicking comfort. These shirts are ideal for trail runners, road athletes, or anyone training in high sun-exposure environments. They’re especially useful during long summer trail runs when sun protection and cooling are equally important.
