FITS Training

Frequently Asked Questions

• What features should I prioritize when choosing a training shirt for HIIT, running, or gym sessions?

  Look for moisture-wicking technical fabrics (Nike Dri‑FIT, Patagonia Capilene) or merino blends for odor control, plus breathable paneling or Lululemon Metal Vent Tech for ventilation during high-output efforts. Choose a fit that matches the activity—compression or snug fits reduce chafing for HIIT, while an athletic/relaxed cut increases mobility for weightlifting—and prefer flatlock seams and reinforced stitching for durability.
• How do Nike Pro compression tights compare to Lululemon Fast and Free tights for mixed training?

  Nike Pro compression tights offer firmer muscle support and are built for stability during sprints and explosive lifts, while Lululemon Fast and Free tights prioritize lightweight breathability and minimal seams for long runs or high-rep conditioning. Pick Nike Pro if you want targeted compression and support; choose Fast and Free when ventilation, low bulk, and range of motion are the priority.
• Are weighted vests like the Rogue Fitness models or the Hyperwear Hyper Vest PRO suitable for both strength and cardio work?

  Yes, adjustable, low‑profile vests such as Rogue weighted vests or the Hyperwear Hyper Vest PRO are designed to add progressive load for strength movements and to increase intensity for conditioning and running. Prioritize a vest with secure straps and evenly distributed, removable weights to avoid movement restriction and to dial load for activity-specific training.
• How should training shorts or leggings fit for CrossFit and Olympic lifting to balance mobility and coverage?

  For CrossFit and Olympic lifting, shorts or leggings should sit secure at the waist with enough room through the hips and thighs for deep squats and dynamic movement; look for gusseted crotches, four‑way stretch nylon/spandex blends, and reinforced stitching at stress points. Compression options reduce chafing and provide muscle support, while mid‑length inseams and a stable waistband prevent ride-up during barbell work.
• What materials and care practices extend the lifespan of training apparel like nylon/spandex blends or merino pieces?

  Choose abrasion‑resistant nylon/spandex blends and polyester blends for high‑wear activities, and merino wool for odor resistance and temperature regulation; look for flatlock seams and reinforced panels in high‑stress areas. Wash cold, avoid fabric softeners, close zippers and turn garments inside out before washing, and air‑dry or tumble on low to preserve elastane and technical finishes.
