February 5, 2021 clothesadmin Comments Off on Men’s Workout Pants – Flexion Pants from Hylete

When it comes to workout pants for men – Hylete has some great options. The Flexion Pant from Hylete is a modern jogger-style workout pant for men. And we think it’s one of the best in class. Let’s do a review. Here’s the workout pants for men that we’ll be reviewing: Flexion Workout Pants – Materials The Flexion jogger-style workout pants from Hylete are made with a 94% Polyester and 6% Spandex blended fabric. Polyester is a great synthetic material – it’s durable, it’s comfortable – and it is very lightweight. The spandex content of this fabric gives this workout pant just the right amount of stretch – for both a comfortable fit, and no restriction on your range of motion. Flexion Workout Pants – Fit & Cut Let’s talk about what makes these jogger style workout pants so great. First of all, what do we mean by “jogger style”?

New Nike MetconSF Colorway – Seaweed/Light British Tan/Green Spark/Black

February 4, 2020 clothesadmin Comments Off on New Nike MetconSF Colorway – Seaweed/Light British Tan/Green Spark/Black

Here’s a sharp looking new colorway of the Nike MetconSF – Seaweed/Light British Tan/Green Spark/Black What’s the Nike MetconSF? It’s the first all-terrain Nike Metcon shoe. This shoe repels mud for superior grip and it even has water draining ports to keep your weight down. Do they work? Yep – absolutely they do – we know because we tested them. But there is more to the shoe than just those crazy deep lugs on the boot-like outsole. The Nike MEtconSF is made from materials that won’t absorb water. That means when your feet inevitably do get waterlogged – on your mud run or obstacle course race – you’ll shed the extra water weight as quickly as possible. The upper, insole, and midsole are all made from non-absorbent materials. But, there’s more. See that high elastic leg opening? That’s called a gaiter – and it is there to keep debris out of your shoe – for when you step into the swampy mud. There’s no traditional laces either. That means no soggy, muddy laces. Instead, you get Nike’s innovative speed-lacing system. [Read more …]
