Not every running brand begins with a cap, but Ciele Athletics did. Founded in Montreal in 2014 by Jeremy Bresnen and Mike Giles, the label set out to solve a problem that many runners knew well: performance headwear that looked good on paper but fell short on the road. More than a decade later, Ciele remains one of the most influential names in the category.
Built around the idea that good design and great performance should never be mutually exclusive, Ciele Athletics creates womenswear and accessories engineered for movement. Lightweight fabrics, considered details and a strong sense of community sit at the heart of every collection, encouraging runners of all abilities to get outside and keep going.
Best known for its industry-defining running caps, Ciele wins in both technical innovation and visual identity. They're a small addition to your running get-up, but they really can make the most difference.
