Perspectives on the sport. Written by our Athletes, and our Founders.
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...
Two race seasons of testing teach one thing above all: fabric fails predictably. It goes at the seams before the panels, at friction points before flat areas, and it always shows its...
Technical kit costs more than cotton because it is engineered rather than just cut and sewn: performance synthetics, laser-cut or woven ventilation, heat-sealed and reinforced seams, tuned stretch blends and rounds of...
Modified polyester is standard polyester engineered to remove excess weight and add function, so the base fabric is stripped back as light as it can go while keeping the strength, wicking and...
Some seams chafe and others do not because of where the seam sits, how it is constructed and how much it moves against your skin. A thick, raised, stitched seam placed in...
Precision cutting per size means each size is cut to its own pattern rather than simply scaling one shape up or down, so the fit stays true across the whole size range....
A T-shirt goes through 20-plus fabric revisions when it is developed through a real testing loop, athletes wear each prototype in hard training and racing, report what fails or gets in the...
Breathability is a fabric's ability to move heat and water vapour off the skin, and it works through two routes, air passing through the fabric and sweat evaporating from its surface. HYROX...
To avoid chafing during a 90-minute HYROX, wear fitted synthetic kit that stays put and light when soaked, apply anti-chafe balm to your known hotspots before the start, and never race in...
Elite HYROX athletes race in the lightest, most ventilated kit that still stays put: a stripped-back singlet or open-construction tee, race-specific shorts or half tights, grippy trainers, and almost nothing carried. The...
For a sub-90 HYROX your race kit should be as light as you can wear without chafe or ride-up: an ultra-light singlet or open-vent tee, race shorts or a half tight, and...
In the roxzone you wear the same light race kit you race in; there is no time to add or remove clothing between stations. The roxzone is a transition, not a break,...
For most HYROX races you should not wear a long-sleeve top, because indoor arenas run hot and long sleeves trap heat over 90 minutes. A thin technical long-sleeve helps only in a...
During a HYROX race, keep your gels in secure, close-fitting storage that will not bounce: flat side pockets on race shorts, dedicated rear gel pockets on a half tight, or a heat-sealed...
To dress for a hot indoor HYROX arena, wear the lightest, most ventilated race kit you own, a singlet or open-construction tee with race shorts, and keep any warm layer for the...
A complete HYROX race-day kit is a tested top and shorts in sweat-wicking fabric, grippy trainers, tested socks, a race number belt, a couple of gels stored securely, your race number and...
