The RC Outdoor Supply Griffith Collection has been expanded with two new styles that embrace the needs of runners by embracing lifestyle requirements when spending extended periods training. The collection now features the Griffith Running Jacket alongside the Griffith Running Short, which are each constructed with an ultralight profile and build.

The Griffith Running Jacket boasts a cargo pocket on the front with an adjustable bungee cording throughout for a customized fit, while the packable design makes it ideal for travel. The Griffith Running Short has a two-in-one build with a compression under layer built in alongside a concealed phone pocket, elasticated waistband and an adjustable drawstring.

The new additions to the RC Outdoor Supply Griffith Collection are, like the other styles in the range, made from a durable [nylon ripstop fabric](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elite-collection) with concealed zipper pockets.

## Key Themes

### Key Themes Behind This Trend

- **Packable Performance Apparel:** Ultralight garments with travel-ready construction reflect growing demand for running gear that fits active routines across training, commuting, and outdoor mobility.
- **Integrated Storage Design:** Concealed pockets, cargo compartments, and phone-specific storage create space for apparel brands to replace accessory dependence with more functional garment architecture.
- **Hybrid Run-lifestyle Gear:** Technical silhouettes that balance athletic performance with everyday wearability point to a shift toward versatile products suited for long training days and casual use.

### Where This Applies

- **Athletic Apparel:** Durable ripstop fabrics, compression layers, and adjustable fits signal new product opportunities in lightweight running collections built around comfort and utility.
- **Outdoor Recreation:** Packable jackets and rugged shorts connect trail-ready durability with minimalist design, expanding the role of outdoor gear in endurance-focused lifestyles.
- **Travel Gear:** Compact apparel with multi-pocket organization introduces crossover potential between luggage-light travel systems and performance clothing for mobile consumers.
