If you're a runner—especially one in pursuit of a fall marathon—you will be training through the hottest days of the year. Though staying cool may seem as simple as wearing the least amount of clothing as possible, there are other factors to consider when you're eager to stay as comfortable as possible mile after mile. We suggest opting for summer running apparel and accessories that are moisture-wicking, breathable, and chafe-resistant—and if you can get them without breaking the bank, all the better.
While there are many places to shop for summer running clothing, there's no retailer offering deals like ones you'll find on Amazon right now. It can take a little digging to find the gear that's worth buying, so we went ahead and found the best deals on summer running apparel available on Amazon right no, including major savings from top brands like Nike and Under Armour. Whatever hot-weather running gear you're in the market for, you're sure to find it here. (Note: Some of these discounts are available on select colors and sizes, so click through to Amazon if you don't see the exact discount listed below.)
Looking for more warm weather essentials to add to your arsenal? Take a look at our coverage of moisture-wicking shirts, sweat-resistant sunscreens, and summer running gear!
This loose-fitting pair is comfortably short, with just a 4-inch inseam. These shorts come in four colors, and are super soft on the skin.
Short and skintight, you will barely notice that you have these shorts on. Because of their stretchy, sweat-wicking material, they help you stay cool in the summer, and they won't move around while you run, which prevents chafing.
These lightweight shorts have a breezy fit and hit at mid-thigh, which makes them a bit more modest than similar styles and prevents them from riding up between the thighs. Reviewers say they have a “great fit and length” and love their built-in briefs.
This sports bra is light and moisture-wicking. It works as a high-impact bra for smaller chests and a medium-impact one for larger busts. The thick, comfortable band also gives you an additional sense of security while you run.
Under Armour Women's Tech V-Neck Short-Sleeve T-Shirt
This t-shirt is lightweight and moisture-wicking, so even on the sweatiest runs, you will continue feeling dry and comfy. It also comes in 24 different color options, making it easy to match any pants, shoes, or accessories.
This tank gives you just a bit more coverage than a tank top. It also has a breathable mesh side and back panels, which keep you feeling breezy, even on the hottest days.
For the days when it storms, you may want a bit more coverage. This jacket is super lightweight so it won't get too hot, but it helps to keep rain out while still remaining breathable.
These mid-length shorts are comfortable, flattering, and great for runs of any distance. They are great for both running and cross-training, as the length gives them a bit more coverage.
If you want to wear the least amount of clothing possible on your runs, these shorts are the way to go. They are super lightweight and have a barely-there feel. They are a split short, which also means they give great mobility and won't hold you back while you're in motion.
This lightweight tank top is breezy, comfortable, and comes in 22 different color options. The large arm holes not only help keep you cool, but also make sure you don't chafe or have to pull on the fabric to get comfortable.
These midweight socks offer a bit of cushion while being moisture-wicking and ensuring you stay blister-free. They hit just above the ankle, which helps protect your ankle bones while running.
adidas Superlite 2 Relaxed Adjustable Performance Cap
This cap is made from a breathable, moisture-wicking material that helps keep you cool while also protecting you from the sun. It is adjustable and comes in five neutral color options.

If you find a full cap to be too warm, this visor may be a better option. It comes in 15 fun color options and is easily adjustable. Plus, the band is comfortable on your head, and can even help prevent sweat from dripping into your eyes as you run.
If you tend to get extra sweaty when you run, you may want to opt for a sweatband, like this one from poshei. This one is low profile and could even fit under a hat. It is highly absorbent, sweat-wicking, and even provides SPF 40 protection.
If you want to keep your summer running gear lightweight from head to toe, socks have to be part of the equation, too. These Balegas have a thin profile, but use compression to ensure they don't move around on your feet while you run.
