The Gift Guide for Swimmers, Runners and Triathletes Who Have Everything
Every swimmer, runner and triathlete you know has goggles. They have a water bottle. They have more kit than they have room for. Finding something they will actually use, that they haven't already bought themselves, is genuinely difficult.
This guide is for that person. The one who trains three times a week, knows exactly what they need and has already got most of it. The gifts here are things most athletes haven't thought to buy themselves but will immediately understand the point of the moment they open them.
Stocking Fillers - Under £15
These are made from the same bamboo towelling fabric as the BambooLayer™ Recovery Joggers lining. Soft, absorbent and genuinely useful for swimmers who tie their hair back for every session. Available in small, medium and large, they match the lining colours of the DRYRZ range so anyone who already owns a pair of joggers can coordinate. A small gift that makes immediate sense to anyone who spends time poolside.
Simple, practical and something most swimmers and triathletes actually use at events. A good option for adding to a bigger gift or rounding out a set.
Mid Range Gifts - £15 to £40
DRYRZ Water Bottles - 700ml and 1000ml
Most athletes have a water bottle. Most athletes have lost it, broken it or left it somewhere. A quality replacement is always welcome. The DRYRZ water bottles come in two sizes with the 700ml is ideal for training sessions and shorter events, the 1000ml for longer training days, open water swims and all-day competitions. Both carry the DRYRZ branding and sit alongside the rest of the range in the kit bag.
Anyone who has ever run from the pool to the car, stood on a riverbank or a sports field in October knows exactly why this is on the list. A decent umbrella is one of those things most people never buy for themselves but immediately appreciate when someone else does. The 30" size is big enough to actually be useful in a British autumn.
The Main Gift - £40 and Above
This is the gift most swimmers, runners and triathletes don't know they need until they try them. Standard joggers add warmth but sit on top of damp skin. The BambooLayer™ Recovery Joggers have a bamboo towelling lining that absorbs moisture immediately on contact, up to 60% faster than cotton, while the wind resistant outer holds warmth in. They go on straight after swimming, running or training, over a wet swimsuit, over kit, before changing and deal with the wet to dry transition in a way that nothing else in most athletes' wardrobes does.
Available in black and navy with a choice of lining colours. Standard length in stock now. Short length are available to order, so please contact hello@dryrz.co.uk for details.
The top that completes the kit. The same bamboo towelling lining, the same wind resistant outer, designed to be worn with the BambooLayer™ Recovery Joggers or on its own. For swimmers who already have the joggers, the top is the natural next gift. For anyone who doesn't have either, the top and joggers together make a complete post-swim recovery kit that will get used after every single session.
The Full Kit
For the swimmer, runner or triathlete who deserves something properly thoughtful, the BambooLayer™ Recovery Top and BambooLayer™ Recovery Joggers together, paired with a water bottle and a scrunchie. Everything they need for the moment after training, in one gift. It is the kind of present that gets worn immediately rather than left in a drawer.
Why Recovery Kit Makes a Better Gift Than More Training Kit
Most athletes are good at buying training kit for themselves. The goggles, the race suit, the running shoes. What they are less good at is investing in what happens after training. Recovery is the part of sport most people underestimate and underspend on.
A gift that helps someone recover better is genuinely useful in a way that another pair of goggles is not. It will be used after every session, across every sport, through autumn and winter and into spring. And it will remind the person who gave it that they understood something about the sport that most people miss.
