Reebok’s new Spring/Summer 2015 apparel collection features Cordura fabric in the company’s Reebok CrossFit and One Series lines, for long-lasting performance.

With durability, strength and abrasion-resistance as the primary focus in the design of SS15, the introduction of Cordura fabric aims to target every athlete’s needs, such as reliability, long-lasting support and comfort, as well as temperature control.

Durable gear

“Athletes are tenacious and demand durable gear,” said Chris Froio, Vice President of Reebok Training. “Whether they are tackling skill training or a WOD (Workout of the Day), they need comfortable, breathable, long-lasting workout apparel to help achieve their goals and improve their performance.  Cordura fabric helps us accomplish that in the latest addition to our apparel lines.”

The new shorts offer a breathable bonded gusset, drawstring waist closure, open side pockets and stylish design. Cordura fabric features enhanced moisture management and four-way stretch.  The full dull luster yarns give the collection a natural cotton-like appearance and feel, while delivering long-lasting performance, the company reports.

Long-lasting workout apparel

The fabric is also said to offer enhanced tear and abrasion resistance with a wide variety of styling options, as well as an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio.

 “Athletes focus on fitness, across a range of skills such as strength, speed, flexibility, accuracy and power. Our Cordura fabrics ensure their apparel gear is as tough as they are due to key qualities such as abrasion resistance, maximum fibre-strength and durability. These are all crucial for gear that stands up to the rigors of repeated WODs,” added Cindy McNaull, Global Cordura Brand and Marketing Director.
