As someone who has spent countless hours traversing the rugged terrains of various trails, I can confidently say that the Norda x SOAR trail running apparel collection is an absolute game-changer for any avid trail runner like myself. With their commitment to utilizing top-tier materials and innovative design, these pieces are not just clothing items but rather tools designed to enhance and elevate my trail running experience.
Norda focuses on crafting exceptional trail running shoes, boasting virtually indestructible designs enhanced with premium materials such as Dyneema and Vibram. Now, they’re extending this philosophy to the realm of running apparel by teaming up with the like-minded SOAR group for a seven-piece collection specifically tailored for winter trail running.
The collection presents a color scheme of yellow, taupe, and black, drawing inspiration from the concept of komorebi, meaning “sunlight filtering through trees” in Japanese. This design seeks to evoke the sensation of a trail runner basking in the warm rays of sunlight amidst a dense forest. The range caters to both men and women, featuring an anorak, pants, shorts, a long-sleeve top, and a beanie. Each piece is crafted with functionality and detailing tailored to the requirements of trail running enthusiasts.
This Italian-made anorak boasts a four-panel design with reinforced seams, reflective elements, and two spacious pockets, along with a garment compartment and a secure spot for valuables. Meanwhile, the tights embody a simple aesthetic with four generous pockets, including one for storing gear and another for safekeeping essentials. The shorts provide an 17cm inseam and a more relaxed fit for optimal mobility on rugged landscapes, while the long-sleeved top is crafted from swift-drying synthetic wool that’s antibacterial and adaptable, ideal for transitioning runners from chilly mornings to warm afternoons. Lastly, complete your ensemble with a streamlined merino silk beanie.
According to Nick Martire, co-founder of Norda, our approach from the beginning has been to explore the limits of technology, creativity, and quality in our endeavors. This philosophy also guides our partnerships. We selectively collaborate with top artisans in their fields, and we hold SOAR Running in great esteem as producers of exceptional running gear. It’s a privilege to work alongside Tim Soar and his team, and together we have created this new collection, aiming to produce the best trail running apparel possible.
Check out the Norda x SOAR collection, set to drop simultaneously on both brands’ online stores starting October 10th. The prices will vary between $50 and $440 USD.
