Runners tend to accumulate race t-shirts they never wear and gear given to them with the best intentions. Getting it right takes a trick, and that trick is to pay attention to what gets worn out, not what catches the eye.

This list goes from lowest to highest price, featuring garments made in Spain and Portugal. At the end, there are two gifts you can buy without asking for the size.

Under €25

Running socks · €23. Lilac Run and Nebular Run, with flat seams and reinforcements. Runners go through socks and almost never buy good ones: this is the best value-for-money gift on the entire list.

Mooquer Blend Coffee · €8.95. Roasted in Asturias. To accompany another gift or as a small token.

Between €25 and €50

Trail socks with Chitin · €25. This is the technical gift on the list. They contain 31% Chitin in the sole, a natural fiber of marine origin with antimicrobial properties and high absorbency. Almost no brand uses it, and here we explain what it does and what it doesn't do. Available in high or low cut.

Agonic Mountain Trail T-shirt · €35.

Trail running caps · €39. Lightweight, foldable, with reflective details and PFC-free. One size fits all: no risk.

Sons Of Carbo T-shirt · €45.

Between €50 and €100

Signature T-shirts · €69. Alba and Eclipse, available in men's and women's versions. This is our premium running range and the garment that people who have already tried it wear most often.

Women's Yellow Fade Ultra T-shirt · €69.

Alba Signature Trail Running Shorts · €89. Ultralight, made in Portugal, with a softflask pocket and YKK zipper. Designed for ultras.

Over €100

Eclipse Signature Trail Running Shorts · €109. The version with an inner mesh lining, for those who run long distances and know what chafing feels like by hour four.

The shortcut: packs

If you are going to gift more than one garment, the pack is a better deal: it offers a 15% saving compared to buying the items separately.

Alba Pack · Trail running kit · €167.

Eclipse Pack · Trail running kit · €184.

T-shirt, shorts and cap. It's the difference between gifting a garment and gifting a complete kit, for less than it would cost separately.

And if you don't know the size

Two gifts that solve the problem.

Socks. They go by foot size, the margin is wide and a runner always wants more. If they also run off-road, the Chitin socks are the gift that fewest people know how to give.

Cap. One size fits all and it's the accessory that is used most and replaced least.

And if you want to gift a specific garment, write to us and we will tell you which size corresponds to each model. In Spain, size exchanges are free.

Frequently asked questions

What to gift a runner for under 30 euros?

Technical socks. They go by foot size, so there is no sizing issue, and it's a consumable item that every runner appreciates. The running socks cost €23 and the trail socks with Chitin, €25.

What gift is a sure winner if I don't know the size?

Socks or a cap. The trail cap is one size fits all and the socks go by foot size. If you prefer a garment, in Spain size exchanges are free.

What is the difference between running socks and trail socks?

Trail socks contain 31% Chitin in the sole and reinforcements in the toe, heel and Achilles tendon, designed for long distances and technical terrain. Running socks have a different, thinner composition, for asphalt and daily training.

Are the packs worth it?

If you are going to gift more than one garment, yes: they offer a 15% discount on the price of the items separately. The Alba Pack costs €167 and the Eclipse Pack, €184, both with a t-shirt, shorts and cap.
