What are Olly's Marmot Favourites?
Marmot Tullus Hoody
It's light and warm
It's water-resistant
While the Tullus Hoody isn't completely waterproof, it is water-resistant which means on those drizzly days you stay warm and dry.
Marmot Regulator Short and Windridge Top
The Marmot Regulator Short and Windridge Top are my go to training clothes for running. Light, durable and comfortable, this combination delivers whether I am out on the road or on the trails. Available in a huge variety of colours, there is something to suit everybody.
