Want to do your part in saving the world? Tired of dodging tossed water bottles on your run or bike training? Well Atayne’s new line of athletic tees are made of recycled ‘trash’ and offer high performance for the conscious athlete.
We tested Atayne’s women’s grind short-sleeved tee, made of 100% recycled materials. It is a great soft and easy to wear shirt with anti-chafe construction and temperature regulating. To check the wicking factor and odor control we ran and worked up a sweat in it two days in a row. The moisture wicking and the odor control factor was excellent. So don’t be afraid to stop off at the store after a work out, fearing your BO will beat you through the door-it won’t.
We love that Atayne’s tees lets you voice your passion. Instead of branding ‘Atayne’ all over their tees you can choose the imprint of your passion: Run, Bike, Hike, Paddling, Climbing, Yoga or Triathlon to put on the front of your shirt. Then add your Point of View, based on your passion: i.e. Reduce-Reuse-Recycle-Run; Run Hard, Tread Lightly, Recycled Runner, Run with Nature; Bio-fueled Runner or Recycled Runner, etc. It’s practically custom made.
Atayne is a company that (to use a well worn phrase) not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. With their commitment to sustainability Atanye has a recycled gear program where you can send in your old polyester tees and receive a $5.00 credit on one of theirs. Their hang tags are true guerilla gardening as you can plant it, water it and wild flowers will grow. Each shirt has a small loop on the inside collar with the suggestion that you hang dry their shirts to conserve on energy use and to use non-toxic biodegradable detergent. Folks, they are not playing with you...this is true cradle to grave manufacturing.
Better still, you can join their infamous Trash Runners (willrun4trash.com) group and launch your own clean up program in your city. They’ve even developed their own trash running vocabulary such as: ‘Trashole: formerly known as a litterbug, a trashole is someone who throws his or her trash on the ground for the rest of us to see and ultimately pick-up.’ So welcome to the fold. Because when you know better, you do better.
