Marathon
No. 07 / Kigali, Rwanda
Run the thousand hills.
Kigali performance wear, made for running and riding the thousand hills. Cut light for the climb, built bright for the dark hour before sunrise.
Manifesto
Kigali doesn’t do flat. Every run is a climb. Every ride ends higher than it started. We build kit for the hour before sunrise: light enough to forget, tough enough for red earth, and loud enough to be seen.
Written in Kigali, for the climb

Tech
Built for the
thousand hills
Every piece is tested on the roads it is named after: steep, humid, dusty in the dry season and soaked in the rains.
-
01
Breathes on the climb
Open-knit mesh sits where heat builds on a long ascent: spine, underarm, lower back.
-
02
Seen before sunrise
Reflective piping wraps chest, sleeves and back, catching headlights on unlit dawn roads.
-
03
Red-earth tough
Ripstop weaves and bar-tacked seams shrug off laterite dust and the hundredth wash.
-
04
Rain-season ready
A water-repellent finish sheds a passing downpour. Shells pack into their own pocket when it clears.
