Ciele
Ciele Athletics is a Montreal running brand founded in 2014 by Jeremy Bresnen and Mike Giles, built around the GOCap — a knitted, UPF-rated running cap that spawned a full headwear range and, later, apparel including tees, shorts, wind shells and merino layers. The B Corp-certified label remains independent and self-funded, selling through its Griffintown flagship espace | MTL and over 1,300 accounts in 43 countries. Recent moves include a Woolmark merino collection, artist capsules with Drew Tyndell, and distribution deals covering China and Latin America.

Does Ciele run big or small?
Ciele fits slightly small. Take your usual size if you like a run-fit; size up one if you want a relaxed, everyday drape or plan to layer. Ciele apparel is generally described as a lean, performance-oriented cut that fits close but not restrictive, so runners with a broader build or those wanting a casual look often go up a size.
