This research aims to study the needs of the trail runners as trail running has become a popularoutdoor activity, and give suggestions for high functional outdoor menswear design that cansatisfy the needs of the highly demanding taste of runners. The design development is as follows:1) The design had to be made of lightweight material and be easily packable in all situations,and 2) we also considered the ergonomic and compact fit for activity, 3) the functional locationof high functional fabric, 4) the reflective use and layering system giving a wide range of outdoorworkout time and 5) the trend in 2016 S/S active sports and outdoor wear. Based on the aboveelements, the men’s outdoor wear design has been developed for trail running in spring andsummer. The design development includes a total of 7 items. The design focused on lightweight,availability of packaging, “comfortability” and freshness in activity, functional suitability of locationof highly functional materials and the layering system to protect body temperature under thechanging environment. In particular, the layering system was implemented to provide ventilation,and it was done in body parts that released the most body heat. Therefore, mesh materials wereactively used on the side panel, sleeves and center of the back piece for necessary sweat emissionwithout any problems and ventilation for trail running.
