Tracksmith’s refreshed cuts and colors for Spring 2026
A mix of shirts, shorts, and sports bras
$75-85

REESE: Just as reliable as its wintery No Days Off collection, there was no doubt that Tracksmith would roll into early spring with new colors and materials for some of its most popular pieces. It’s up there with Tax Day in terms of how consistent its seasonal launches are, and that’s good for business — or at least my closet.
The thing is, though, Colorado hasn’t been quite so consistent. Although the thaw may have reached New England and Tracksmith’s home base of Boston, it’s not here for me yet. I went out to snap photos of the pieces I received, only for it to start snowing mid-shoot. Oh well, such is life. Blame the groundhog, or something.
Anyway, I’ve still been able to slip myself into Tracksmith’s latest styles for days in the gym and days on the treadmill, so here’s what I keep coming back to.

MEAGHAN: So, I never requested these for review, and if I’m being real, I didn’t think short tights were something I’d ever actually wear. I typically steer clear of the style, but these won me over fast. The 5-inch length hits a sweet spot, the tights stay put through every mile without riding up, and the lightly textured fabric delivers just the right amount of structure and support without feeling heavy or restrictive. That fabric might be the secret sauce to why these felt so different from every other short tight I’ve tried.
The wide waistband is loaded with functionality: a zippered phone pocket and two drop-in side pockets, perfect for gels, keys, or whatever you need to carry. I put them to the test on a key long run during my Boston build-up, and they were absolutely flawless. Key in the back pocket, gels on the side, and not a hint of chafing from start to finish. These are the short tights I never knew I needed, and never thought I’d wear. Consider me a convert.

MEAGHAN: If you’ve seen my typical marathon race day kit, there’s a good chance I’m wearing Tracksmith. The old Session shorts were an all-time favorite — I still have three pairs from about five years ago that I reach for regularly, so needless to say, I had high hopes for the new Twilight shorts.
The shell is crafted from a lightweight stretch-woven fabric with a Polygiene liner, and it comes with a 3-inch inseam, an internal drawstring for a dialed-in fit, a zippered phone pocket at the center back, and three internal gel pockets. On the run, they felt comfortable and light, and I love just about every feature. My only gripe? The relaxed fit runs a little too relaxed for my taste. If I were buying again, I’d size down.

MEAGHAN: Tracksmith sports bras have always had a special place in my kit, but there was always one thing missing: a place to stash your phone. Well, consider that problem solved. The Allston Bra not only delivers on that front, it actually gives you two pockets: an internal drop-in pocket built into the liner up front, and a new drop-in back pocket for your phone or whatever else you need on the run. The fabric is soft yet supportive, and it’s quickly become a go-to staple in my rotation. This one checks all the boxes.
REESE: This is my second Tracksmith bra, the first one fit well in a small, but I needed to size up to a medium in the Allston bra. No, my chest didn’t get bigger. Hard to believe, right? The addition of pockets likely meant they needed a stronger band around the ribs to prevent slipping or sagging. The medium didn’t squeeze me in the way that the small did. The volume, on my end, was lacking, but the bra wasn’t loose or baggy.
After reading a few other BITR sports bra reviews, I’m noticing that I might be alone in not needing storage in my bra. I guess I primarily use a pack or shorts for fuel, and I rarely run with a phone. I’m an outlier here. That being said, I do want to point out a secondary use for these pockets and one I have used before. Hot wear racing ice storage. I’ve put a lot of ice in cell phone pockets in 100-degree races. And sheesh, does that feel good. Bit of an edge case, but who knows, it’s getting warmer and warmer these days…

REESE: The weather is all over the place in Colorado this spring (summer? winter?) Which means having versatile running layers is essential. The Twilight Long Sleeve has been my go-to, do-it-all long sleeve. I’ve worn it on morning runs, midday in 40-degree temps, and horseback riding in 60-70 degree overcast days. It’s just protective enough to take the bite out of a chill on a cloudy, warmish day during a low-effort activity, but breathable enough to keep me from overheating on a run when the temperature swings from 40 to 60 degrees. This shirt didn’t hold on to moisture at all; it kept its smooth, silky texture. Minimal in design and lightweight, flowy fabrics make it a barely-there kind of shirt.
