The options for women who want quality athletic clothes have grown over the past few years. LUNA Sport is for women who choose to live in great fitting, performance driven clothes that make a difference.

How do they make a difference? Wherever possible recycled and renewable products are used - including the use of zippers with recycled coil and tape. LUNA Sport also partners with the Breast Cancer Fund (BCF). Over the past 10 years LUNA has donated or participated in programs that have raised well over $3 million for BCF. The Breast Cancer Fund is focused on prevention. Their goal is to expose and eliminate the environmental causes of breast cancer. Check out the video about cosmetics. You can learn a lot about safe products and actions you can take on the BCF web site.

Why would you want to live in performance clothes? Because they are that comfortable and functional. JJs Racing Jersey is made of a unique silk and merino wool blend. Made with New Zealand merino wool, the combination with silk offers breathability and odor control. As fall approaches we need gear that moves from a chilly morning to the warm fall sun. This blend does that beautifully.

Pair the jersey with the Valtellina or Epiphany short for a flattering and comfortable ride. As the weather cools you might want to look at the Epiphany knicker as another option. If you don’t want to walk around town with a chamois try Terra’s knicker and pair it with the LUNA Baseline. For fall the Eclipse jacket is a must. Get the white now to show off your summer tan!

There are local LUNA Chix teams around the country who offer discount codes to women running, riding and swimming with them. The Team LUNA Chix Albany Triathlon team gives out the discount codes at our events. Make sure you get yours before the end of August. Cards will be available at the Crystal Lake Triathlon on August 20, at LUNA Chix rides on Aug 22, at the Splash and Dash to benefit BCF on Aug 29 and the LUNA Skirt chaser to benefit BCF on Aug 30. If you don’t have a LUNA Chix team near you then use the code KHIS-S for 10% off at www.trisports.com.

The 2011 LUNA Sport line coming next March has some great new additions. Looking good and doing good now go hand in hand.
