Ciele Athletics was founded in Montréal in 2014 with a clear vision: to create better gear for runners—starting with the perfect running cap. Frustrated by the lack of headwear that could meet both technical and aesthetic standards, co-founders Jeremy Bresnen and Mike Giles launched Ciele with the GOCap, a lightweight, breathable, and beautifully designed cap that quickly became a staple on roads and trails worldwide.
From that starting point, Ciele has expanded into a full range of performance-driven apparel and accessories, each piece engineered with function-first materials and built for long mileage. Whether it’s their COOLmatic™ fabrics, reflective detailing, or packable silhouettes, every design balances technical innovation with street-level style. This is gear that performs at the highest level—but doesn’t look like it only belongs on race day.
Ciele’s ethos is grounded in movement, culture, and community. The brand champions inclusive running—welcoming all paces, places, and people—and collaborates with artists, athletes, and creators to reflect the rich diversity of the global running scene. Their campaigns and projects blur the lines between sport and storytelling, always focused on elevating the experience of the run.
Built on the belief that running can take you anywhere—physically, mentally, creatively—Ciele designs with intention, durability, and a deep respect for the effort behind every step. Their gear is trusted by pros, loved by everyday runners, and worn by those who see movement as both practice and expression.
