Ciele has launched the 2026 NiteRite capsule, a collection of technical running apparel and headwear designed for low-light conditions and building on the brand's fall 2025 NiteRite debut. The range includes GOCap MRPH and TRLCap SC headwear with highly reflective panels (select styles use CORbrite canvas with embedded reflective yarns), DLYTShirt and DLYLongsleeve lightweight four-way stretch layers, the VLVInsulator jacket, DLYShort running short, and the new FSTTight running tight.

The VLVInsulator uses a recycled C0 DWR outer shell with wool and silk insulation and integrated ventilation; the DLYShort is made from partially recycled ripstop with PFC-free DWR and a COOLmatic | PLUS VITALmesh liner for cooling, wicking and odor control. Ciele says its COOLmatic fabrics manage moisture and regulate temperature; the FSTTight has a trimmable compressive design with multiple fuel pockets and anti-chafe construction using COOLmatic | PLUS KLOSfit, and the company notes the collection incorporates recycled fabrics and is machine washable.
