You’ve probably heard about the Romphim – a kickstarter campaign for a romper made for guys. There’s so many jokes about a romper for men online right now I couldn’t tell if it was a joke or a legit fashion trend.
But – have you ever heard about a romper to wear for running? A running romper? Or should I call it a Runper??
Anyway. At the Boston Marathon expo I was perusing all the awesome running gear and memorabilia when I spotted this in the North Face booth. It caught my eye and I joked – it’s a running romper! Ha!
I was with Chandra and decided to try it on to make a self-deprecating joke on Instagram.
I went into the lil changing room, put on my new running romper and thought…
Crap. I like it. I like it!!
Well, I like it just to wear – not to wear while running.
It’s super revealing – short shorts, thin straps and a cut-out back. That’s not how I dress for running. It does have built in shorts and a pocket for keys/fuel – which is runner-y. But you have to pair it with a sports-bra that would show a lot.
At first I really thought it was a cute lil romper for casual wear NOT for running but the tag made me think it is actually meant for some sorta active pursuit.
When I tried it on I knew it would be great for super hot summer days in Palm Springs. So, I went for it.
I bought it because it’s cute, made of sweat-wicking material and has a little pocket in the back that I can put snacks in. Plus it has an underwear liner so I don’t have to sit like a lady. Boom.
I now think all my clothes should come in sweat-wicking material and a snack pocket. Thanks. The end.
This “Runper” is by North Face – Runagade Onsie.
This post made me laugh and I love it! The romper is definitely cute, but I tend to agree with you… not sure if I could wear it while running! I feel like maybe it would rise up? I think you made the right choice in going with it!
Snack pockets – YES
Romper – YES, but I’m not sure if I could pull it off. The downside of being very short is things like that are typically made for tall women with long legs.
It looks so good on you! And the open back is adorable.
Happy Wednesday!
I would most definitely NOT wear a romper, my sister would never stop laughing! I would like to install snack pockets in all of my cloths, however.
That runper is adorable, on you! Nope, I would not wear this to run in. I like having some compression on my legs … weird, I know. I also would probably not wear it at all because when the urge strikes me to pee, I do not want to have to work at getting it off. Between running and child bearing, I don’t get a lot of time when the urge hits! LOL I have too many other ways to embarrass myself… :-/
Hahaha, I like the name you gave it, runper! I love rompers for everyday wear but even then, they get annoying when I have to go to the bathroom. Can’t imagine not being able to change out of a sweaty runper/romper after exercise!

I would totally wear a romper to run in if it was more “sports bra” friendly. That would look silly with a sports bra!
Okay, I super like it and you look great! I definitely couldn’t run in a romper, heck I don’t even like wearing a one piece because using the restroom is a pain!
You look totally adorable in the runper!!
I would like snack pockets but not rompers!
I think you look FABULOUS in this romper, but I don’t think I would be able to wear one. Like Sally, I really need to be able to get in and out of my clothes quick. And to run in one? Ummm, yeah, like no.
Hmm, probably not. I don’t like to feel trapped in my clothes. I hate one piece bathing suits too. But that romper from North Face is really nice and looks great on ya.
