Brooks Gear: Review #1

I am a pretty lucky gal to get fitted in the newest Brooks gear as a member of Brooks ID. I recently received some great new pieces that I wanted to share with you. It is official that I now have more workout gear than “normal” clothes. I wish I could wear my running clothes all day! Anyone else ever feel like that?

Sampling of some new gear

Look for new reviews over the next couple of weeks as I am only going to showcase a few pieces at a time. I know, keeping you in suspense! I had Mr. Healthy Diva take some photos of me in the gear so you can get an idea of what it looks like on. Don't judge my photo editing skills. I don't have time to make the backgrounds look pretty. :-)

Utopia Thermal Hoodie II

On sale for $72, originally $110

Color options: black, lime green, teal, purple, dark pink

This hoodie is hands down my favorite hoodie! Let me just try and describe why I love it so much. Really, I don't think I have hardly taken it off since I got it.

It has zippered pockets
Thumb holes
Has reflective stripes
Has a cell phone/ Ipod sleeve on the inside
Two additional pockets on the inside as well
Form fitting and cozy warm
Hood fits snug around your face
And lastly, probably the greatest feature.....it has a hole on the hood to pull your pony tail through!

I only wish that I would have ordered a small, but sometimes it is hard to gauge what size to order. I can easily wear a sweatshirt underneath. I have worn this hoodie everywhere, hence the reason why I never take it off. It was great to wear for snowshoeing a couple of weeks ago. Kept me toasty warm!

Women’s Utopia Thermal Cozy Pant

On sale for $49.40, originally $75

Color options: grey, black/purple

Length options: petite, regular, tall 

These are the perfect winter go to pants! I wore them snowshoeing as my outer layer and they kept me at a comfortable temperature. The thin layer of fleece lining is just the right amount. I like the detail of the purple across the bank of the pants too. Added bonus is that these pants match my Utopia Thermal Hoodie II without being annoyingly “matchy”.

Women’s Glycerin Pant III

$75

Color options: black, grey, black/polka dot

Length options: petite, regular, tall

On sale for $49

Color options: black/dark pink, black/lime green/purple, black/teal

I have wanted to try out the Brooks pants for a long time. I don’t know why I waited so long because they are awesome! They blew my NIKE pants out of the water with comfort and style. These pants are very flattering and fit me like a glove. I love the detail on the waistband too.

I have worn the Glycerin pants to Farmgirlfit and put them through a grueling workout test. They passed with flying colors.

Socks: Essential No Show (2 pack)

$16

Color options: black, white w/multiple colors

Another product that I don’t know why I waited so long to try. Socks from Brooks rock! Hands down best running socks I have ever owned. I have small feet (size 7) so sometimes it is hard for me to find socks that have a good fit. These socks come in different sizes: small, medium, large, & extra large. I ordered the size small and they were the perfect fit.

Questions for you:
What is your favorite piece of workout gear?
Do you have more workout clothes than "regular" clothes?
