Will need some more gym and fitness clothes, especially of the colourful variety. Any suggestions of brands and stores?

    I’m curious, any reason why? I thought technical fabric was supposed to be better for sports

      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.
