A cut designed for female trail runners
Women’s trail tops have a cut suited to the female shape, more fitted at the waist and looser at the shoulders. They need to remain comfortable under the straps of a hydration pack, often worn for several hours, without seams rubbing on the chest or shoulders. Made from lightweight technical fibres, they wick away sweat during climbs and dry quickly on descents to prevent getting cold once at the top.

Women’s trail textiles also come in:
- Jackets and Windbreakers.
- Shorts and Tights.
- Trousers and Leggings.
- Sweatshirts.
- Technical Underwear.
- Socks and Ankle Socks.
All textiles can be found on the women’s textile page.
Three sleeve lengths
The tank top, like the Rossignol Sapa Ultra, the Dynafit Sky or the Joma R-Trail Nature, frees the arms and maximizes ventilation in strong heat, as long as you protect your shoulders from the sun. The t-shirt, like the Dynafit Alpine, the Brooks High Point or the adidas Terrex Xperior, covers the shoulders under the pack and protects against chafing. The long sleeves Craft Pro Wind, with a windproof panel at the front, keeps you warm during cool outings or at altitude, without overheating in the back.
The brands
Dynafit, a brand born from ski touring, dresses mountain runners with very light tops. Rossignol, the French ski brand, has also ventured into trail running. Craft, a Swedish brand, specializes in technical endurance clothing. The Satisfy CoffeeThermal incorporates recycled coffee grounds into its fibres. CMP and Joma offer accessible models for beginners. Choose a fitted top without being too tight, and wash it at thirty degrees, without fabric softener, which reduces the fibres' ability to wick away sweat.

Frequently asked questions
Tank top or t-shirt for a female trail runner?
The tank top, like the Rossignol Sapa Ultra, maximizes ventilation in strong heat. The t-shirt offers better protection for the shoulders from the sun and pack straps, a plus for long outings.
What bra to wear under a trail top?
A high-support sports bra, without underwire and with wide straps, limits bounce when going downhill. Opt for a technical fabric that dries as quickly as the top to avoid retaining moisture.
What is the purpose of a windproof top like the Craft Pro Wind?
It protects the torso and arms from the wind on descents and ridges while remaining breathable. An ideal option for cool outings where a jacket would be too warm.
How to choose the size of a women’s trail top?
The top should fit snugly, without compressing, to effectively wick away sweat and not bunch under the straps. Between two sizes, the smaller one is best for running, while the larger is for layering.
How to wash a trail top?
At thirty degrees, inside out and without fabric softener, which clogs the fibres. Air drying preserves seams and elasticity, and a merino top can be washed on a wool cycle.
