If you’re working out on a regular basis, you probably go through more loads of laundry in one week than a hotel. Wouldn’t it be nice if your workout clothes didn’t need to be washed right away?
Lululemon produces fabrics with silverescent technology, which prevents the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Their clothes are also water-repellent to help keep you dry when you sweat and some fabrics are actually reversible, so your clothes can never be inside out! On top of that, their fabrics are chafe-resistant and contain technical fabrics that are specifically placed where your body needs the most air circulation and wicking (absorption of sweat). These features, along with many others, allow you to wear your workout clothes more than once to save you time and money on your laundry bill and prevent you from using the excuse, “I have nothing to wear.” Check out Lululemon’s website for more fun product features.
Reebok produces CrossFit gear built with PlayDry technology targeting the most common areas of perspiration to wick sweat and keep you dry and comfortable. Their clothes have antimicrobial seams to control odor, water-resistant zones and are slim-fitting to accommodate to high-performance exercises. Many also contain a CONDURA paneling for added durability.
Workout gear from C9 by Champion offers fabrics that wick moisture with Duo Dry Max technology and stretch with you. The airy fabric has the ability to regulate your body temperature and reduce chafing. Can be found at Target.
Oakley’s products make use of three particular technologies:
1. Antibacterial technology that minimizes bacteria and decreases odors, keeping you fresh.
2. O Hydrolix technology that pulls perspiration away from your skin and pushes it towards the outer surface so that it can evaporate. This concept of wicking will help keep you cooler in hot climates and warmer in cold climates.
3. Reflectivity is a unique feature to this brand that will help improve your safety by making you more visible at night.
