Asset Performance Matrix
We do not hold per-dimension scores for Bandit Running. Every dimension reads the same number in our records, which means the value was never assessed rather than that all six came out equal, so we show nothing rather than a number we cannot stand behind.
Bandit Running makes running apparel in Brooklyn, New York: singlets, tops, shorts, tights, sweats, hats and socks. It describes itself as born in October 2020 and sells direct, with a paid membership listed at $125 a year. Its product pages carry fabric names but no prices, so we do not quote any.
What matters when choosing
Three things are worth knowing before you order.
The membership is the only published price. The Bandit Membership is listed at $125 a year. What it includes, according to its own membership page: member pricing, free shipping, priority access to new arrivals, two pairs of member socks a year, members-only releases, and a $50 gift card, rising to $75 from the second year.
Fabric names are the specification, and some come from outside licences. The brand's fabric page lists ten named fabrics. Several are developed with outside technology: Superbeam™ is made in Italy from regenerated Econyl®, which it states comes from recycled fishing nets, with UPF 50+; Stamina-V™ uses 37.5® Technology; Coolmax™ and HumoFit™ also appear. The rest are its own: Adapto™, Striped Cadence™, SoLite™, Specter™, Vento™, Gridlock™, Micromesh™ and FrioSoft™.
The current company is the second version of this name. Its own history records a final release for the earlier Bandit in October 2021, Ardith and Nick joining as co-founders in November 2021, and the current brand and headquarters being revealed in February 2022.
Before you buy
- Compare fabric names rather than garment names. Several garments share a silhouette and differ in what they are made of, and the fabric page is where the difference is described.
- Read the return policy on the brand's own store before ordering. We could not read that page's text, so we do not quote a return window.
- Check the category before you assume it is not stocked. The range includes sweats and hoodies alongside the race range, and there are ASICS collaboration shoe pages.

A small team cannot hand-write a page for every brand we track, so this one is generated from the same record the scores come from. It summarises that record and reports nothing we measured.
✓ Strategic Strengths
- We hold no sourced strengths list for this brand. This is a gap in our record, not a finding: the strengths of a brand that publishes no specification sheet, no warranty schedule and no price list cannot be asserted from a record we do not have.
! Operational Risks
- We hold no sourced risks list for this brand. We have not audited it, so we are not going to report that we found nothing: an empty record is not a clean result.
