Chic + Fit >> Eco-Friendly Fitness Essentials.
The other day I found myself walking the main street of Encinitas with Better Buzz in hand, when I stumbled upon Vuori Clothing, an eco-friendly fitness apparel line born on the coasts of California. There has been a major increase in popularity of eco-friendly manufacturing methods in recent times which is much needed. More and more companies are looking at biomass information to decrease their carbon-footprint and the public are investing more into green products. This popularity will do everyone the world of good.
Maybe it was the palm tree tank top in the window, or the effortless joggers on the mannequin, but I knew I had stumbled upon something really, really good. Sure, I had always considered getting some branded jackets, but seeing these examples spoke to me.
Given that I live out most of my days in athletic wear, similar to Better Bodies, it is important that the pieces I wear are not only comfortable, and durable – but can stake me from client meetings to a boxing sesh, without breaking a sweat.
I knew when I saw the green palm leaf leggings that we were a match made in heaven, so I decided to start with those and one of Vuori’s signature tanks and road test the eff out of them.
First off, these threads are the most comfortable (and cutest) workout clothes I have ever worn. Period. Secondly they survived a wicked boxing session with Danny at Ao8 with flying colors, and I still looked/smelled human after the fact, which was even more miraculous.
Another cool thing that my mom would be proud of?! Vuori’s threads are not only eco-friendly – they are good for you too! I know what you’re thinking…How the eff can clothes be good for you?
See what happened was…Vuori developed a cool new natural fabric called SeaCell, which has trace vitamins and minerals that come in contact with and rejuvinate your skin, not harsh synthetic irritating ones that make your skin want to file for seperate custody…#winning
