The SoCal CrossFit and Functional Fitness apparel provider has expanded their offering to include performance denim and a second pair of casual sweatpants. The brand built their name on offering high-quality training shorts for demanding activities like CrossFit and adventure races, but has expanded into fitness lifestyle apparel over the last year.
The two new items available for pre-order on their website include the Optic Performance Demin jeans and Plexos Sweatpants. Both of these items skipped the “back-it” funding option that Hylete uses to crowdfund potential new items. Little information is known about the new bottom pieces but we gathered what we could from the Hylete website to keep you in the loop. Would you cop either of these new duds from Hylete?
Hylete Optic Performance Denim
Building a jean for the modern athlete is more than just adding room in the butt and thighs – the optic performance denim pulls its aesthetic from high-end fashion denim while borrowing its fit and function from HYLETE premium performance apparel. The straight leg cut and 4-way stretch fabric not only complement your athletic build, but move with it. A perfectly placed side zip pocket, large enough to fit your wallet or phone, reduces uncomfortable and unsightly front and back pocket bulk.
- Fabric: 4-way stretch fabric – premium denim look.
- Fit: Straight leg cut and 4-way stretch denim provide similar athletic fit and function as HYLETE’s performance apparel line.
- Versatile Storage: A perfectly placed side zip pocket, large enough to fit your wallet or phone, reduces uncomfortable and unsightly front and back pocket
Hylete Plexos Pant
Est. Ship Date: September 2017
The ultimate in comfort – the plexos pant features air mesh fabric concealed between two thin layers of 4-way stretch fabric, creating outstanding temperature regulation that offers both warmth and breathability. A concealed zipper pocket, contrast rib trim, and paneled knees provide an athletic modern look.
