Built To Breathe
We removed what doesn’t belong.
You train hard — your gear should work with you, not against you.
94%+ natural fibres built for the demands of combat.
PERFORMANCE STARTS WITH WHAT YOU WEAR.
Natural fibres help keep you cooler, drier, and more comfortable through hard rounds.
Beyond Performance
Research is raising important questions about prolonged exposure to plastic fabrics.

PERFORMANCE MATTERS.
What sits on your skin for hours does too.

Natural vs Plastic Based Fabrics
What you wear isn't just clothing. Training conditions are more extreme than every day wear.

Research
We explored how different materials perform under intense training conditions — and what the research is beginning to show.
Questioning PLASTIC FABRICS
The research behind the potential trade-offs.
POLYESTER, FERTILITY & REDUCED TESTICLE SIZE
Some research has explored how plastic-derived fabrics, particularly polyester, may impact male reproductive health.
- Differences observed between polyester and cotton
- Polyester exposure showed a negative effect on spermatogenesis in some studies
- Effects seen during prolonged exposure in certain research
Studies:
- Polyester exposure linked to reduced sperm count — Cotton showed no significant effect
- Reduced sperm production observed during use — Heat and fabric properties suggested as factors
- Reduced testicular weight observed in experimental conditions — Mechanism not fully understood
MICROPLASTICS FOUND IN HUMAN BLOOD, SEMEN, BRAIN & LUNGS
Microplastics are now being detected in multiple parts of the human body.
- Detected in human reproductive systems, including semen and testicular tissue
- Found across multiple organs in emerging research
- Plastic-derived fabrics are a known source of environmental microplastics
Studies:
TESTOSTERONE-DISRUPTING CHEMICALS IN PLASTIC-DERIVED FABRICS
Plastic-derived fabrics like polyester can contain compounds linked to hormone disruption.
- Commonly used chemicals include phthalates, bisphenols (BPA), and flame retardants
- Many of these compounds are known endocrine disruptors
- Some chemicals are not chemically bound to fibres and may leach over time
- Long-term exposure effects are still being studied
Studies:
HIGH HEAT & SWEAT MAY INCREASE EXPOSURE
Skin is our largest organ.
- Research suggests heat and sweat can increase skin permeability
- Sweat may enhance transfer of substances from fabric to skin
- Tight-fitting rash guards create prolonged full-body contact during training
