The Best Fitness Clothing for the Summer
The Best Fitness Clothing for the Summer
With summer fast approaching, warm weather comes along with it. That means you need apparel to keep you comfortable outside in the heat. Even if you train in an air-conditioned gym, there’s no sense wearing something warm, only to be greeted by the heat on the way out. Here are some awesome choices when you’re buying fitness clothing for the summer.
Performance Tights
The first piece we recommend is for the ladies out there, and that is a pair of quality performance tights. They’re ideal because with some spandex content, the fabric allows maximum flexibility and movement, making them an awesome choice if you’re running or squatting. These ones from Champion are made with a blend of polyester and spandex, so you’ve got the perfect combination of moisture-wicking polyester and stretchy, comfortable spandex.
Performance Pants
For those out there who prefer wearing some form of pants all year-round, you’ll probably want to go for something like these, made with a 100% polyester. Polyester provides a breathability and comfort that’s hard to beat in hot weather. If you don’t want shorts, pick up a pair of performance pants!
Performance Mesh Shorts
If pants aren’t your go-to in hot weather, then of course you’ll want a pair of high quality, breathable shorts. Something like the Champion 9” Mesh Shorts are an excellent choice. They’re 100% polyester to make athletic activities as comfortable as possible. They’re also mesh lined, which maximizes breathability and airflow by maintaining a good barrier between you and the fabric. An added bonus to these ones is that they have an internal draw cord, which minimizes the risk of snagging and keeps everything a bit more organized.
Performance T-Shirt
An absolute staple, the performance T-shirt is a hard piece for any athlete or everyday gym-goer to neglect. For hot weather, it’s ideal to get one with a polyester fabrication to have as much air and moisture control as possible. Champion makes theirs with a signature Vapor fabric which does just that. Check these out here.
Women’s Mesh Shorts
For women who like to workout in shorts, an ideal choice is something lightweight and breathable, with a lining that prevents show-through. We recommend something like these Champion 5” Mesh Shorts. They’re 6.2oz, made with 100% polyester and lined with tricot which stops the dreaded see-through effect. You can check out these Champion ones here.
Hopefully this list gives you some good ideas for hot weather training. Let us know what your favourites are!
