South Africa's
Lightest Running Vest.

First vest I forget I’m wearing — 42 grams and it just disappears at race pace.

We shave off the grams,
so you can shave off the seconds.

Aerias G177 jacquard mesh suspended mid-air, backlit to show the woven airflow channels

Meet G177 — the ultra-light performance mesh at the core of every Aerias piece. Aerias engineers it to wick sweat, move air and all but vanish on the skin, with open channels where you run hot and denser structure where you need hold. It's the material the whole Aerias range is cut from.

The Elite Vest.

Forty-two grams. Gone the moment you move.

An ultra-lightweight racing singlet for the warmest days and the hardest efforts. Bonded seams, anatomical side panels, and a mesh build that breathes the moment you start moving.

  • Race-day weight 42–56g across the size range
  • Bonded build No stitching, no bulk
  • Engineered airflow Heat moves off the skin
  • Anatomical fit No ride-up at pace

Our story

From the lab,
to the start line.

I've spent my career in materials science, as a researcher and an engineer. Aerias is that experience applied to running — wicking structures analysed, bonded seams stress-tested, every gram weighed and justified. It's the tier-1 performance apparel South Africa hasn't had, engineered and made in Cape Town.

And it stays close to home: we design with athletes, test with the run clubs, and line up together at our community events across Cape Town. The fuel and the kit are built alongside partners and collabs we actually train on. Serious about the splits — unserious about everything else.
