Tracksmith Fieldhouse Shorts (XS, Navy $55) and Fieldhouse Pinnie (XS, Navy $45)
The Tracksmith Field House Mesh Pinnie and Short are a great addition to the runner’s kit and are crafted with the durability and attention to detail Tracksmith is so well known for.
The timeless, quality pieces in the Field House Collection make those sometimes dreaded, but super important indoor training sessions a little more fun and carefree. The pinnie and shorts I tested feature durable, yet ventilated mesh material that provides distraction free training.
Fieldhouse Pinnie (XS, Navy $45)
The fit of the pinnie tastefully combines a modern cropped style with Tracksmith’s traditional nod to the classics. The pinnie, reminiscent of a top we might have worn on college lacrosse scrimmage days, hits just at the waistline of the Field House Shorts on me.
I found it to be enough coverage, but I do also have a shorter torso. It could show more midriff for taller women.
The FH pinnie is made of a large gauge mesh that is somewhat sheer, but again allows breathability and the ability to style with a sports bra under the pinnie. I might just need to order the Fieldhouse collection bralette to complete this look!
Tracksmith Fieldhouse Shorts (XS, Navy $55)
The Field House shorts are made of super soft high quality mesh. A long drawstring makes the waist adjustable.
I really liked how the waist could be folded over to show the red striping inside. This optional styling helped break up the solid navy blue color in both top and bottom.
The double layered mesh is less sheer than the pinnie and features a tasteful 3” length. The shorts bonded side seam is covered in stiffer side taping material that fits with the Fieldhouse collection’s retro vibe.
The shorts have two open side pockets large enough to hold a phone. I do have to give warning that these shorts are unlined. Meaning some exercises may show a little more skin than you want.
Performance and conclusions:
I tested the Field House pinnie and shorts while weight lifting and cross training. The Field House pinnie is made of lightweight single layer mesh. Although comfortable, I didn’t find this to be the most sweat-wicking material. Both hold the weight of sweat and especially so in the double layered mesh short.
The FH shorts fit generously, providing plenty of mobility for strength training or cross training. I washed and dried (on low) them both with no issues. When you pick up these pieces you can tell they are made with the timeless quality and style Tracksmith is known for.

geometry dash meltdown is the perfect game for people who enjoy difficulties and want to push the boundaries of their reflexes, but it is not for people who become disheartened easily.
