Ciele Athletics, the performance running brand from Montreal, Canada, continues its NiteRite Capsule for 2026, building on its fall 2025 debut with a new assortment of men’s and women’s running apparel and headwear featuring reflective detailing for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions.
NiteRite was created to support athletes who train between dusk and dawn, or during the shorter days of winter. The 2026 collection carries forward the same emphasis on protection and performance through reflective gear, while introducing new silhouettes including the GOCap MRPH and TRLCap SC in the headwear category, as well as the DLYTShirt, VLVInsulator, and FSTTight across men’s and women’s apparel. Together, the collection is designed to support runners across changing temperatures and conditions.
“As fall shortens the days, NiteRite is designed to keep runners moving from dusk to dawn with confidence in low light,” shares Ciele Athletics Co-Founder Jeremy Bresnen. “We’ve integrated reflective elements without compromising the fit, performance, and comfort runners rely on.”
The collection builds on Ciele’s industry-leading headwear with four silhouettes: the FSTCap SC, GOCap MRPH, GOCap and TRLCap SC. Select styles incorporate CORbrite woven fabric, a durable canvas with embedded highly reflective yarns, while all styles utilize highly reflective panels to enhance visibility after dark.
The NiteRite apparel assortment brings the same technical approach to lightweight layers, cold-weather insulation and performance bottoms:
- DLYTShirt: Lightweight, four-way stretch performance t-shirt with merrow stitching for comfort
- DLYLongsleeve: Lightweight, four-way stretch long-sleeve with merrow stitching for comfort
- VLVInsulator: Insulating jacket with a recycled C0 DWR outer shell, wool and silk insulation, and integrated ventilation
- DLYShort: Lightweight, four-way stretch running short with partially recycled ripstop fabric and PFC-free DWR
- FSTTight: Compressive running tight with a trimmable design, multiple fuel pockets and anti-chafe construction
Across the collection, Ciele uses a range of technical fabrics to regulate temperature, manage moisture and maintain comfort through changing conditions.

- COOLmatic | EXP DIAMAfleece™ and DIAMAfleece LITE™ with carbon provide warmth and temperature regulation.
