Buy cotton shirts/shorts. Avoid technical fabric.
I'm curious, any reason why? I thought technical fabric was supposed to be better for sports
Probably the use of plastic
Ah, I see
Two reasons:
- It is plastic. It will degrade into microplastics and will end up.. in places where it shouldn't. Water (from cleaning), inside of humans (and other animals) due to drinking water, breathing, etc.
- They are much harder to clean and keep hygienic. They get smelly much faster. They smell worse within a workout and they are hard to clean between workouts.
Erima is a German company (that's been around for 115 years!!) They have affordable high quality workout clothes. In all kinds of colours, they are often used as kits for a specific team or club, but of course you can also just buy it for yourself.
Decathlon is French, so that's an option as well.
Puma is pretty alright from my experience. They are based in Germany, pretty large and mainstream.
