3 ways to keep your activewear looking new for longer.

Head to the gym. Yank up the waistband. Pull down the strap. Debate where to put your phone. Squat, but not so far down you can see through your pants. Reach up, but not so high your top rides up. Kit straight in the wash and repeat the next day.

Learn how we co-create our products with the end user in the center. For us, great design means products that people will truly love and want to wear for a long time.

Can you believe it’s January already? It feels like Christmas was only yesterday. Now that the leftovers have been eaten and guests have gone home, it’s time to set our goals for the new year.

Our founder Franziska took a break from the corporate world and went to Asia to figure out how she can truly make an impact in this world and can help tackle one of the biggest challenges of our times, climate change. Putting her passions of sports, health and sustainability together and her frustration with plastics in sportswear, her idea of Tripulse was born.

Natural design has always been part of the textile and clothing industries. Thousands of years ago we used the silkworm to produce silk in ancient China and the flax plant to create linen in ancient Greece. (1) What tied all of this together was biodiversity. From agriculture to forestry, raw material production for clothing relies on biodiversity for organism health, access to water and fertile soil. (2) The clothing industry doesn’t need a rethink. It just needs to return to its natural design to stay circular.

Hot on the list this holiday season is our climate. During the holidays, we think of warm, cozy evenings and showers of warm hugs and presents from loved ones.

Cupboards full of holiday cheer, an attic decorated by boxes of paraphernalia, a wardrobe bursting with color, patterns and comfort: all never used.

Selecting more sustainable fitness essentials requires taking the time to understand how activewear is made and its performance characteristics. So let’s dive into the details for how we can buy activewear more mindfully, taking into consideration our environment and skincare.

Did you know you can make activewear from wood? In fact, you can make clothing fabric from lots of different raw materials, some of the most common ones being crude oil for synthetics or cotton.

The activewear market has a great deal of power over how we shape our fitness routines, attitudes about ourselves and can inspire us to live more active and healthier lives. It also shapes our climate and the species that depend on it. And that’s the very reason why we created Tripulse - to make activewear that’s not only good for our bodies, but also for our planet and all the species that live on it.

Where there is activewear, there is stretch. It’s hard to think otherwise. Stretch provides support in compression products, overall comfort, freedom of movement and is necessary to achieve the skin-tight fit of certain sports clothes (leggings, bras, swimwear, to name a few).
