Graphene Vest

SOAR Running was founded in 2015 in a small Hackney studio by Tim Soar — a British Fashion Council New Gen-winning menswear designer who simply wanted running kit that was better cut, better made, and less shouty than what he could buy. The approach hasn't changed: fabric first, silhouette close to the body, every detail justified by performance, nothing superfluous. Italian three-layer membranes, French-milled jerseys, bonded hems and laser-cut trims, unusual specification for running apparel at this scale.

A featherweight race top cut for PB efforts. SOAR's vests use thin, highly breathable French-milled knits (or, in the Graphene Vest, Vollebak-developed graphene-printed fabric) with minimal seam work, a semi-raglan armhole and a drop-cut hem. The silhouette sits close enough to stay out of your way at 3:30/km pace without binding.
