Why the ReRun Men’s 1/4 Zip Could Be Your New Favourite Training Layer
Big fan of a 1/4 zip. Always have been, always will be. There’s just something about them that works — especially for training.
Cool enough to chuck on post-run in summer without overheating. Warm enough to get you through a winter workout without feeling like you’re zipped into a sweat suit.
And aesthetically, they just tickle a very specific part of my brain. Sharp, simple, yet comforting.
So when apparel newcomer do clothing dropped the ReRun Men’s 1/4 Zip, I had to add it to my collection.
I grabbed one using code GYMFLUENCERSAGENCY for 10% off and put it to the test. Here’s how it stacked up.
Who Are do clothing & What’s the ReRun Collection?
Fresh on the scene, do clothing launched with the motto: “Life Inspired Performance Apparel.”
The vibe is very inclusive and all about supporting movement — whatever that looks like for you.
That’s where the “do” element comes in. Think do tennis, do running, do gym, do coffee runs, do hiking and so on.
It’s multi-use clothing, designed to behave like a second skin — something you can achieve in, chill in and feel good wearing.
do clothing has come in hot with several collections. But as I’m currently leaning into my running arc (thank TikTok for that), ReRun is the one that caught my eye.
It’s billed as technical running apparel and is made from recycled textiles. A big win for those of us trying to step away from the churn of fast fashion.
ReRun covers both men and women with a range of tees, tanks, shorts, pants, tights and, of course, 1/4 zips.
First Look: Does the ReRun Men’s 1/4 Zip Please the Eye?
I’ve got to say, the colour schemes chosen for this drop are just chef’s kiss. do clothing’s core colours are inspired by natural landscapes — think browns, sand tones and muted greens.
The ReRun collection respects that heritage with Steel, Pebble, and classic Black — plus a wildcard: Highlight, a neon green that nods to traditional high-vis running gear.
I’ve always had quite a tanned complexion, so anything with a beige-ish tone gets my instant approval.
While all the colours slap, Pebble was a no-brainer.
I might go back and grab the black at some point to open up my fit options, but as soon as my ReRun Men’s 1/4 Zip arrived, I was instantly happy with my choice.
I’d describe Pebble as a warm, earthy tone that’s subdued in the best way.
It’s the kind of colour that catches your eye without shouting at it. Big, big fan.
The detailing on this thing? Elite. Raglan seams provide a geometrically satisfying separation, while waved mesh patches bring both function and depth.
That’s something I’ve got to applaud do clothing for. The mesh ventilation isn’t just functional — it adds real life to the design.
On the back, it forms three arrows at the base and a winged section near the yoke. There’s also a vertical reflective strip that subtly incorporates the ReRun branding.
do’s logo is placed just above the hem at the waist — subtle, not shouty.
I rate this discreet branding approach. Piecing together matching fits is ideal, but when kit gets forgotten in the wash, you often end up in a mash-up.
With this kind of clean detailing, you can throw it on with whatever’s dry and still look pulled together. Aesthetically, the ReRun Men’s 1/4 Zip is on point.
The Performance Factor
The ReRun Men’s 1/4 Zip quickly became one of those pieces I started reaching for without thinking.
First run out, it felt right — light on the shoulders, no rubbing or riding up and breathable enough that I forgot I was even wearing it a few kilometres in.
The mesh panels are well placed and actually work (which isn’t always the case), and the fabric stays dry even when you’re pushing the pace.
That checks out, given it’s made from moisture-wicking, breathable materials, but those claims don’t always translate.
I’ve had plenty of so-called performance tops turn into sponges as soon as the sweat starts to bead.
This one balances coverage with zero bulk. Perfect for early starts or cooler days when a tee’s too light but a jacket’s too much.
The reflective tabs on the arms are subtle but useful when you’re caught out after dark. It moves well, fits clean and doesn’t make a fuss — exactly what I want from a layer like this.
The Final Word
If TikTok is making you want to run, the ReRun Men’s 1/4 Zip is a piece well worth having. I’d happily wear this thing to the gym, shops or wherever else the day takes me. In fact, I already do.
And when it comes to hitting the pavement, I still know I can count on it to move with me — no restrictions.
In that sense, do clothing have nailed their goal. Priced at £40, this 1/4 zip is pretty much in line with what you’d pay for Nike or Under Armour running gear — maybe even slightly less.
Honestly, I think it’s worth every penny. Don’t forget: using code GYMFLUENCERSAGENCY at checkout saves you 10%.
