Can we perform faster without leaving any footprint?

We love:

  • Bright, intense and vivid performance sportswear...
  • ...that doesn’t stain other clothes in your home laundry...
  • ...or fade in the sun
  • … and can continue to perform workout after workout
  • …knowing that we have helped to minimize the impact on the environment

But did you know?

  • Your favorite sports gear often has color that just sits on the surface...
  • ...and will cross-stain other fabrics during frequent washes
  • Creating vivid colored polyesters with high wash durability and performance is a complex process ...
  • …that uses a lot of water, energy and time
