Sweatshop.co.uk, one of the UK’s leading online running shops, has launched a new high visibility clothing catalogue to help keep runners safe and seen this winter.

Founded by co-creator of the London Marathon and Olympic gold medallist, Chris Brasher, Sweatshop knows all too well that training doesn’t stop because the nights draw in and the temperature falls.

“I can’t stress enough the importance of wearing bright or reflective clothing from now until the spring. There are an increasing number of accidents involving runners in the winter which could all be avoided with the right kit.” Hugh Brasher, Managing Director, Sweatshop

The new catalogue features a comprehensive range of high visibility clothing and accessories from the leading manufacturers of reflective clothing – Ronhill and Brooks. Ronhill offers products for all weather conditions in the ‘Vizion’ range, with 360° reflectivity and LED features. The Brooks ‘Nightlife’ range is designed to heighten visibility when cars approach with highly visible and contrasting colours and 3M™ Scotchlite™ retro-reflective detail.

Spend over £40 on Ronhill Hi-Viz apparel at sweatshop.co.uk to get a free Ronhill thermal hat and glove set, worth £15. Alternatively buy any 3 pieces of Brooks Nightlife clothing and get the cheapest for free.
