Perspectives on the sport. Written by our Athletes, and our Founders.
The difference between women's and unisex HYROX kit is fit and construction, women's kit is re-shaped for the female form, with cuts, waistbands and fabrics engineered around women's proportions and race weights,...
Durable training kit is cheaper per session than fast fashion because a piece that survives hundreds of hard sessions spreads its cost far wider than a cheap garment that sags or tears...
To kit up for a home HYROX simulation, wear your tested race-standard top and shorts, stable hybrid trainers, and set up substitutes for the 8 stations, a backpack for the sled, dumbbells...
The training kit that doubles as race kit is the pieces built to race-day standards you already train in, chiefly THETA's Tech Short v2 and Tech T-Shirt Race Team v2, both lightweight,...
For outdoor sled work in the rain, choose a close-fitting technical top with reinforced shoulder seams, durable 4-way-stretch shorts, and a shed-able layer for the warm-up, all synthetic so they wick rather...
When you train twice before washing, wear technical polyester or elastane kit with open ventilation for the first, harder session, then a fresh dry piece for the second, keeping the sweat-soaked one...
A week's worth of HYROX training kit means roughly four to five sweat-wicking tops, three pairs of technical shorts, and two race-ready pieces, all in polyester or elastane blends so nothing stays...
Pockets matter more in training than racing because training is where you carry your phone, keys, gels and headphones through long, varied sessions, while a HYROX race is a stripped-back sprint where...
For Zone 2 runs in changeable UK weather, layer a wicking technical base over which you can add or shed an adjustable top, choose quick-dry fabrics that handle drizzle without going heavy,...
To choose trackies for warm-ups and recovery days, prioritise a 4-way stretch fabric that moves with mobility work, a secure pocket for your phone, zipped ankle cuffs so they clear your shoes,...
A barbell-proof tank outlasts a cheap vest because its shoulder and neck seams are reinforced or protected at the exact points a bar, sandbag and sled abrade, while a cheap vest uses...
For sandbag and sled combo sessions, wear reinforced-shoulder tops that survive the bag riding across your shoulders, durable 4-way stretch shorts that handle deep lunges and low pushing positions, and fabric that...
Training tanks sag at the neck over time because the neckline and shoulder seams take repeated stretching, sweat and abrasion with far less fabric to distribute the load than a tee, and...
A training short built around removing HYROX failure points starts from what actually breaks in training, sketchy zips, bouncing pockets, seams that fail under sled and lunge abrasion, waistbands that slacken, and...
To choose kit that survives high wash frequency, prioritise ultra-light durable polyester or polyester-elastane fabrics, reinforced or heat-sealed seams, and construction designed to hold shape after dozens of washes. HYROX training means...
Reinforced shoulders save your kit from rack work because the shoulder and neck seam is where abrasion from barbells, sandbags and racked weights concentrates, and it is the first place a cheap...
