Perspectives on the sport. Written by our Athletes, and our Founders.
Overwashing wears kit out faster than training does when the washing is hot, aggressive or paired with the tumble-dryer, because heat fatigues elastane and tumbling abrades fabric far more consistently than a...
Most HYROX athletes actually need three to four training tops: enough that you always have a clean, dry one ready while others wash and air-dry, without owning kit that never gets used....
Bundle economics mean that buying a coordinated set of kit at a discount lowers both the price per piece and the cost per session, because you pay less up front and a...
To stop ventilation holes tearing over time, wash kit inside out in a mesh bag on a cool gentle cycle, keep it away from zips and Velcro in the load, avoid the...
Air-drying extends the life of technical kit because it removes the two things that damage performance fabric most, sustained heat and mechanical tumbling, so elastane keeps its stretch, seams stay bonded and...
You should retire a pair of training shorts when the elastane no longer recovers, when seams or pockets start failing at the seat and waistband, or when odour persists after a proper...
To get the sweat smell out of polyester for good, cold-soak the garment in water with white vinegar for 30 to 60 minutes, then wash it inside out at 30°C with plain...
Fabric softener ruins sweat-wicking fabric because it works by leaving a waxy coating on fibres, and that coating blocks the very channels a technical fabric uses to move sweat away from your...
You should wash training kit at around 30°C on a cool, gentle cycle, because cool water cleans synthetic performance fabric fully while protecting the heat-sensitive elastane that gives it stretch and recovery....
To care for laser-cut ventilation holes, wash the garment inside out in a mesh bag on a cool gentle cycle, use liquid detergent rather than powder, skip fabric softener, and always air-dry....
Well-built HYROX race kit should last at least two to three full race seasons of regular training and racing when you wash it cool and air-dry it, because it is engineered around...
To wash technical fabrics without wrecking them, turn kit inside out, wash cool at around 30°C on a gentle cycle with plain liquid detergent, skip fabric softener and bleach entirely, and air-dry...
Your training tee stinks after every wash because polyester holds onto the oils and odour-causing bacteria that sweat leaves behind, and a normal warm cycle with fabric softener seals them in rather...
For compromised running sessions, women should wear a squat-proof, structured short that holds its silhouette, a fitted wicking singlet or tech tank, and grippy trainers. Compromised running means sprinting straight off sleds,...
To choose women's kit that survives heavy wash weeks, prioritise durable polyester or nylon-elastane fabrics, reinforced and protected seams, and squat-proof knits that will not go sheer. HYROX training means sweat-soaked kit...
For a women's HYROX relay, wear a fitted race singlet or airy tank with a squat-proof race short that holds its shape under load. A relay is not a shorter version of...
