Performance activewear
Technical training clothing chosen for fabric feel and durability
Shorts, tees and layers cut from synthetic or blended technical fabrics. They stay light and breathable while surviving heavy use. The case for spending on it is comfort and how long it lasts rather than performance, and what people notice session to session is fabric texture, seam placement and fit. Prices run well above basic cotton kit.
