Activewear and Accessories
How to choose activewear
Fabric and fit matter more than logos. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends moisture-wicking synthetic fabrics such as nylon or polyester, which pull sweat away from skin, and clothing that fits loosely enough to limit irritation. The AAD page on blisters advises avoiding cotton for sweaty activity, because cotton soaks up sweat and moisture, and wearing nylon or moisture-wicking socks.
Read the fabric content
Product pages list fiber blends. Look for performance fabrics for sweaty sessions, and consider a softer blend for low-intensity days or lounging.
Use the size chart
Sizing varies between brands. Compare your measurements to each size chart, note whether the cut is fitted or relaxed, and read the returns information before you order.
Check seams and tags
Flat seams and tagless labels reduce rubbing in many people. Photos and descriptions usually show these details.
Think about the weather
Light layers suit warm conditions, and a thin extra layer helps in the cold. Caps, headbands, and gloves cover the extremities. Check what each item is made of and whether it can be machine washed.
Socks deserve attention
Socks are a main point of contact with your shoes. Check material, cushioning, and fit. If you are prone to blisters, read our guide to preventing chafing and blisters.
Bags
Look for a main compartment sized for your gear, a separate pocket for wet items, and straps that suit how you carry. Dimensions are listed on the product page.
