Sports Headwear – Running Caps, Visors & Headbands

From blazing summer runs to chilly morning hikes, our headwear selection helps you stay dry and protected. The best hats for running are lightweight, sweat-wicking and breathable. Our collection of performance running hats and sports caps are engineered for ventilation and moisture management, with the airy mesh panels of 2XU running hats, the fast-drying COOLwick fabric of Ciele running hats and the SWIFTDRY headband of Fractel running caps for sweat control in an eco-friendly package. For increased safety, seek out performance caps with UPF sun protection.

If you prefer more minimalist styles, you may benefit from a running visor that allows more rapid evaporative cooling by keeping the top of your head exposed, while offering a lighter feel with their open-top designs. The trade-off is that a running visor lacks the coverage of a sports hat, delivering less sun protection (yes, you can get sunburned on your scalp even with a full head of hair!). Nevertheless, a performance running visor will provide on-the-go shade to help protect your eyes and face, and help keep you cool during hot or high-intensity runs. 

Adjustable fits that stay comfortable for hours, glare-blocking coverage with a dark underbill and easy packability are among the features to look out for in your running hats and visors to take your runs or outdoor fitness to the next level all-year round. You can complete your skin care under the sun by investing in a quality sports sunscreen which you can find in our health and safety category. 

When you need something more streamlined than a running cap or running visor, our sports headbands keep your hair in place and sweat out of your eyes, making them ideal for both trail hikes and gym workouts. A sports headband or sweatband can also be a valuable addition to your running kit, especially sweat-wicking designs like Halo headbands that feature patented SweatSeal technology, Dryline fabric and distraction-free grip that fits smoothly under hats and helmets. If your goal is primarily to keep your hair secure and out of the way, Adidas headwear and Nike accessories like hair bands offer a fantastic partnership for your active lifestyle.

Arm & Leg Sleeves

Arm and leg sleeves are a valuable addition to any athlete’s kit - whether you’re a new runner or seasoned ultramarathoner. Compression sleeves provide muscular support and improve blood flow, helping you stay on track of your training and helping you recover faster. The 2XU compression gear, CEP compression gear and OS1st compression gear ranges feature among the best compression arm sleeves, calf sleeves and knee and ankle sleeves in this category They’re equipped with graduated compression, meaning that the pressure is at its highest at the lowest part of your limb and gradually reduces as it becomes closer to the heart. This strategic design helps support effective blood circulation, minimising risk of swelling at the feet and ankles for those that are susceptible to fluid retention. With their smooth, second-skin fits and sweat-wicking comfort, they’re a natural fit for action-packed days. 

If you’re out in the sun, UV protection arm sleeves and leg sleeves offer an added layer of skin safety. With technical fabrics that wick moisture and dry quickly, they’re ideal for long races, training blocks and hot weather expeditions. SParms arm sleeves and Nike arm sleeves tick your criteria for sweat-wicking sun protection, while offering a soft feel against your skin and lightweight flexibility for zero restrictions to your movement. Whether you’re gearing up for everyday training or your next marathon, complete your running wardrobe with compression sleeves or sun protection arm sleeves for confidence-inspiring coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How Do You Carry Your Phone While Running?

Carrying your phone not only helps keep you connected on the run, but can be a matter of safety. Most runners use phone accessories like running waistpacks, running race belts or phone armbands that keep their phone secure and bounce-free in a sweat-resistant pocket. Running armbands feature sweat-wicking and chafe-free materials to keep you comfortable from your warm ups to crossing the finish line on race day.

Many models are designed to fit even the largest smartphones and offer additional space for keys, cards or energy gels so you can enjoy a hands-free run – however, be sure to check your preferred choice is compatible with your phone. With Wildfire Sports & Trek Try 2 Anything upgrade and worry-free 90 days returns policy, you can buy online and try any phone armband in our collection at home. For convenience and comfort, browse our range of phone armbands from Armpocket, Nike, Ronhill and more. Many of these feature a transparent, touchscreen-friendly window for ease of use, and even audio access ports so you can enjoy an upbeat soundtrack to reinvigorate your steps.

The debate of running waistpack vs running armband comes down to personal preference and the duration of your run. Both offer a body-conforming fit (or arm-conforming fit in the case of armbands), but a phone armband is more restrictive in terms of what you can carry. This can make it an ideal option on shorter runs, when lightweight minimalism can be an advantage. However, on longer runs running waistbelts from top brands like Flipbelt, SPIbelt and Salomon may be your ideal companion. Larger running waistpacks may even accommodate soft flasks which can be found in our water bottle category – keeping your hydration covered. Running waistpacks potentially feature expandable pockets to keep your essentials close and secure to your body for bounce-free comfort. Some runners also prefer wearing their belongings around their core or hips with a waistpack – where the weight feels more balanced – compared to wearing your phone on your arm.

How Do You Wear A Running Waistpack?

Running waistpacks, waistbelts and race belts are an essential part of your running kit for medium to long distance sessions. However, it’s not enough to choose the best waistpacks for runners from top brands like Salomon, Flipbelt, SPIbelt and UltrAspire – you have to wear your waistpack the right way.

Wearing a running waistpack correctly involves several important considerations to ensure comfort, stability and performance. Some top running waistpacks feature an adjustable strap with Velcro or buckle closure, whereas elastic waistpacks offer stretchy, step-in convenience, free of buckles or clasps for a smooth, irritation-free feel. No matter which you choose, it's important that the waistpack or waistbelt is snug enough to stay in place during movement, but not so tight that it restricts your movement or causes discomfort. The ideal fit feels secure and stable without any pinching or bouncing.

When first putting your new waistpack on, keep it centred, guided by the small of your back. However, most waistpacks are adaptable for the main zip pouch to be worn at the front, back or side based on your personal preference, so experiment which works best for you. 

For larger waistbelts with a greater carrying capacity, position them low on your body around the widest part of your hips, not your waist. Wearing the pack on your hips helps minimise movement and bounce. It also keeps the pressure off your stomach and diaphragm, allowing for more comfortable breathing while you run. More minimalist waistpacks can fit comfortably around your waist with their lightweight designs that keep your small running essentials in easy reach. In both situations, don't let the name waistpack limit you - choose the position that's the most comfortable for the journey ahead.

If your running waistbelt is intended for race day like your next 10K, half marathon or marathon, ensure you test it during training beforehand. The feel of your running waistpack will change when it’s empty versus when it’s full, and you may want to adjust it to achieve that perfect fit. When filling your running waistpack, we recommend packing the heaviest items first with a goal to distribute the weight evenly. 

What Is A Buff?

A Buff is a seamless tube of fabric designed for unmatched versatility. Calling a hiking Buff a neck gaiter, neck wrap or neck warmer doesn’t do it justice. Buffs can be worn in multiple ways - not just on your neck - making them a high-utility choice for anyone on the move. 

Your Buff can be worn over your face, as a headband, beanie and more. Whether you're looking for a face guard, scarf or balaclava in cold weather, a bandana or head covering for UV protection, or even a sweat-wicking wristband or makeshift hair tie - Buff has you covered with its all-in-one designs. They’re especially popular with hikers, runners, cyclists and skiers for their ability to provide warmth, sun protection and moisture control depending on the conditions and how they’re worn.

While ‘Buff’ is now used generically, the terminology originated as the name of the brand that pioneered this multifunctional headwear. You can find similar products like tubular XTM neck gaiters to add variety to your winter-ready wardrobe. Similarly to Buff headwear, they offer smart, space-saving and multifunctional neck gaiters that adapt to every environment - from sun-soaked trails to chilly alpine hikes. 

Made from breathable and lightweight fabric, neck Buffs are soft, quick-drying and durable - ideal for both everyday wear and rugged adventures. The specific material your Buff is made from will also influence its feel and effectiveness for different climates and activities, with Merino Buffs for natural thermoregulation and recycled polyester Buffs offering lightweight, fast-drying comfort in an eco-friendly package. It’s easy to find your ideal fit with Buff thanks to their one size fits all design. Your Buff or neck gaiter may also feature UPF sun protection to set you up to enjoy your adventures safely all-year round.
