Conzul Athletic Wear Subscription Box Takes the Hassle Out of Buying New Gym Clothes

By

Workout clothes. Athletic Wear. Active wear. Athleisure. All synonyms for what, if distilled down to their most basic truth, are just gym clothes.

Here’s the thing with gym clothes, though: They are, obviously, designed to be worn at the gym or while working out, and as such, this particular genre of clothing suffers more than your average everyday t-shirt. From repetitive movements that degrade fibers and fabric to the constant drip of sweat from your swole bod, most gym clothes don’t and won’t last very long. And maybe that’s a good thing–after all, who wants to wear a compression shirt that you’ve used to run four miles in every other day for the past four years? Hopefully, not you.

But buying new gym clothes can be a bit of a chore and a just a bit discombobulating. Not only is new athletic wear slightly expensive (especially for something that you’re not wearing to impress), it never seems to last long enough to have gotten your money’s worth and there are now about three hundred different types of gym clothes out there. From stretch leggings to compression shirts to gold-infused shorts, the sheer variety of athletic wear can put any man’s brain into overload. Enter Conzul.

Conzul is the direct-to-consumer gym clothes and athletic wear subscription box that will bring new, inexpensive, but high-quality workout clothes directly to your door. It’s a pretty simple system: Just pick your frequency of arrival (monthly or quarterly), the amount of items you want (currently there are three different items per box, but will expand to five in 2018), choose your style (basic or designer), then your size and body-build. And that’s it. After that Conzul will send your new gym clothes at your chosen interval until you decide to cancel.

I received my box of Conzul gym clothes and athletic wear a few weeks ago and have had a chance to try them out in my building’s gym. With a pair of white, light-weight training shorts, a stretchy, moisture-wicking training shirt, and light weight running shirt all in my box, I gave each one of the garments a try and was pleased to say that they felt, functioned, and looked just as good as any of the “big name” athletic brands. And, with each piece pricing in at almost half of what Nike or Reebok garments cost, Conzul has hit that rare sweet spot where convenience meets price meets quality.

A DECADE of &SONS chronicled in a new collection
&SONS

A decade ago, Phil James had a problem. He couldn’t find anything he wanted to wear on the clothing racks. There were big names everywhere in 2016. Names that had been generational legends for years. But, no matter how hard he looked, he just couldn’t find the clothing he truly wanted to wear. So, he decided to do what any rational person would do when they have nothing to wear: He started his own business. &SONS was born, and after ten years of providing some of the best British workwear, DECADE is a collection that celebrates what he and his team have done on their journey.

I have always been drawn to the marketing side of the brand. It makes sense; James has experience in his career that predates &SONS, as a marketing photographer. So, no wonder all the images looked amazing. Noe, the new collection looks back on that experience and the rising name he has built.

Luminox adds a new chronograph to the Carbon Seal Series
Luminox

Luminox began a long-standing relationship with one of the most elite special forces teams in the world in 1992 when they began making tactical watches for the Navy SEALs. Ever since, they have been the brand on the front lines (or behind them is probably the more appropriate statement) of all of the major conflicts across the globe. The team at Luminox elevated the SEAL watches with the Master Carbon SEAL collection which uses a stronger version of the brand’s CARBONOX. A long-bar carbon fiber compound three times lighter than titanium and twice as strong as standard CARBONOX. They are deepening the collection with a new chronograph, the new 3880.

“The connection to the Navy SEALs is both a legacy and a responsibility. From the very beginning, our watches have been designed to perform under the toughest conditions. That expectation continues to shape everything we do—not only for SEAL teams, but also for adventurers around the world who rely on their gear when pushing their limits.” – Pierrick Marcoux, Group Product Director at Luminox

Hockerty is prepping us for the weather changes with their new tech fabrics
Hockerty

Wearing a suit is about putting your best foot forward. It is about walking into a room and everyone knowing before they ever speak to you that you are the one they need. The guy for the job. The trustworthy man. The one who deserves the respect without demanding it. It is the whole purpose of dressing for success. It is the reason that your first impression is so important. So, what happens when your image is ruined by things outside your control? Do you lose the job? Is your trustworthiness in question? What happens to the respect? It is better not to find out. Prepare yourself.

So, of course you can wear an umbrella to protect you from the rain. But that doesn’t protect you from the guy spilling his coffee on you. It doesn’t protect you from the car splashing you as it drives by. Instead, you need to invest in tech fabric. The kind moisture doesn’t soak into, but rolls off. That is where Hockerty’s new collection comes in. The tech fabrics they now offer are for the guy on the move.
