TravisMathew Dives Into Active Performance Clothing For Pros and Amateurs Alike

There’s a careful balance to maintain between fashion and function when considering workout clothing. Too much sweat and too little wick or too much flair and too little subtlety, and the whole thing gets thrown off. Twice now, premier lifestyle brand TravisMathew seems to have pulled off this delicate dance. 

After the innovative lifestyle and performance apparel brand’s success with the Heater Golf Series, TravisMathew announced the creation and launch of their Heater Active line this November. The Heater Active Series is the textiler’s most technical fabric collection yet, providing heightened performance elements without compromising TravisMathew’s signature style or diverting from its target market — vigorous men in smart threads.

“The core TravisMathew customer has an extremely active lifestyle, and it’s always been our goal to provide apparel for every part of his day,” TravisMathew CEO Ryan Ellis said in a press release. “Three years ago, we started working on an activewear collection, emphasizing heightened performance elements. As we do with all our apparel, we began with the most premium fabrics.”

Crafted from these pliable performance fabrics, the Heater Active line offers enhanced stretch and breathability allowing the energetic man to move seamlessly through any workout — from warming up to personal record-setting intensity and from sweating through a strenuous grind to enjoying an active recovery.

Not only was Heater Active developed for three years, TravisMathew is endorsed and sported by several active celebrities and high-performing athletes. Professional players like Jimmy Garoppolo, Matt Ryan, Alex Caruso, and Corey Seager have all incorporated Heater Active wear into their training routines. Hitting the gym in this new apparel is a go-to for TravisMathew’s most recognizable and ardent fans as its shorts and shirts are just the right fit for the lively man. 

“The Heater Active line matches the TravisMathew aesthetic but with an athletic fit that’s neither too tight nor too short,” Ellis said. “Our customers have been asking for this product and we couldn’t be happier with how great the line came together.”

With a variety of silhouettes, the Heater Active line is highlighted by performance bottoms with design-driven prints and clean, athletic styling. Heathered and solid tops complement this verve with minimalist, functional short- and long-sleeved activewear produced from premium performance materials. Though there’s already a steady variety in TravisMathew’s new line, the clothing company plans for product offerings to grow in 2022, broadening the brand’s investment in performance apparel.

The Heater Active line is now available both online and in local retail stores. You can check out TravisMathew’s new Active Heater Line and the rest of the collection at TravisMathew Heater Series.

What sailors in the Race to Mackinac, America’s oldest freshwater race, wear on their wrists
The race from Chicago to Mackinac Island is a days-long battle against the Great Lakes. In that kind of contest, you need a watch as tough as the job.
Boat, Sailboat, Transportation

The Race to Mackinac has been run since 1898, when five boats set out from Chicago. Today it covers 333 statute miles up Lake Michigan, crosses into Lake Huron at the Straits of Mackinac, and finishes off Mackinac Island — and it is not an easy voyage. It is also not a gentle one. Sustained gales flattened big chunks of the fleet in 1911, 1937, and 1970, and after a deadly storm in 2011, the Mac's reputation for danger stopped being theoretical. The fastest boats finish absurdly quickly now, with an all-time record of 18 hours and 50 minutes set back in 1998, but most crews are out there for two or three nights. The sailors alternate, sleeping in shifts of four hours each, until they (hopefully) make land.

It might seem tough to imagine doing that once — now, try doing it two dozen more. For those who make the journey at least 25 times, the prize is entry into the Island Goats Sailing Society, founded in 1959 and now several hundred strong. Rack up 25 Chicago Macs and 25 from Port Huron, and you become a Double Goat. The nickname, as the story goes, comes from the aroma a crew carries after days at sea with no shower. All things considered, this is a tough, electric, occasionally dangerous race. The Chicago Yacht Club hosts the race annually in mid-July, and that's exactly where I went to look at watches.

‘Tis the season for beach weekends, cookouts, and glorious rounds of golf. If your wardrobe for the links could use a refresh, Fabletics just launched its second collaboration with Malbon. Inspired by the ocean, the collection features green hues and marine motifs. It’s a his-and-hers collection, with polos and trousers alongside dresses and leggings—garments that look as dapper on the greens as they do in the clubhouse dining room.

The partnership unites two companies with reputations as disruptors in the sports apparel space. Founded in 2017, Malbon has built a loyal following by blending golf apparel with streetwear, fashion, and art. The company has flagship stores in Los Angeles and New York City in addition to a large digital presence.
