Original Activewear Designed from Wood

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.

What’s the Impact of Tripulse being Climate Neutral Certified?

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.

Stretch your pants, Stretch your mind: What makes activewear stretchy?

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).

What kind of fitness can you do in the Tripulse activewear?

Activewear is a sum of its parts. We believe that movement is a deeply-rooted human need, and the need for movement in sustainable and toxin-free fashion is a must! Here is a selection of fitness activities that suit the Tripulse collection really well, while keeping your skin and the planet healthier.
