Designer’s Note: Beyond’s Essentials
When it comes to running gear, there are pieces you like, and then there are the ones you can’t run without. That’s exactly what Beyond’s Essentials is all about—the must-have items that we handpicked from 2024’s top-performing products. These aren’t just any running pieces; they’re the essentials, the ones that check all the boxes: comfort, performance, durability, and of course, style.
This collection features some of our most solid go-to pieces: Alpine™, Beyond Race Tank, Beyond 5 Panel Cap, and Beyond Performance Socks. But we didn’t stop there. To make it truly complete, we’re introducing a new addition—Beyond Split Shorts. It’s built to fit right in with the rest, because let’s be real, a great pair of shorts is just as crucial as the perfect top.
First up, Alpine™—our best-selling performance tee. This one’s inspired by the European Alps, the highest peaks in Europe, built for runners who push limits. Made from a recycled nylon + spandex blend, it’s got that cooling sensation that keeps you feeling fresh even on warm-weather long runs. Whether you’re climbing hills or racking up miles on the road, Alpine™ is designed to keep up.
Next, the Beyond Race Tank. When the heat is brutal, this is the top you reach for. Made with ultralight, breathable material, it helps keep you cool, dry, and focused. The soft feel reduces chafing, and the bonded finish keeps things smooth—no rubbing, no distractions, just you and your run.
Then there’s the Beyond 5 Panel Cap—a true essential whether you’re training or racing. Lightweight, breathable, and designed with a short brim for comfort, it’s the cap you won’t want to take off. Perfect for blocking the sun without overheating, and it looks just as good off the track as it does on it.
And let’s not forget about the Beyond Performance Socks. Because great socks actually matter. These come with targeted arch support to keep your feet feeling stable, moisture-wicking fabric to keep them dry, and a fit that stays put—no slipping, no bunching, just pure comfort from start to finish.
Finally, the newest addition: Beyond Split Shorts. If you’re serious about running, you know a good pair of shorts can make or break your run. These are designed with runners’ needs in mind, featuring multifunctional pockets—one at the back and two for gels—so you’re covered whether it’s a training run or race day. Plus, we added an inner brief to keep things secure and comfortable no matter the distance.
Beyond’s Essentials is built for runners who want gear that works, period. Whether you’re chasing a new PR, training for your next race, or just out enjoying the run, this collection has everything you need and nothing you don’t. No distractions, no compromises—just essentials that help you go beyond.
