A Sportswear That Breathes GIVEAWAY

I have like, two compression wear in my possession. A top and a bottom.

I'm wearing them both in this photo. (Red Gold Coast Airport Marathon vest not part of the compression wear though. hehehe)

Different brands but both are foreign brands. Almost got a nosebleed paying for them. But I bought them anyway, because of the benefits I wanted to gain from wearing them.

I’m actually thinking of buying another, maybe a short-sleeved top. Had thought of going to Running Lab and try a few there, but dang! I just can’t find the time to go to Tropicana Mall. That and the fact that I hate trying out stuff.

I’m always on the look-out for affordable compression wear and there’s Breathe Apparel that apparently had slipped my notice before. Truth to be told; I knew about the brand early. When I just started running way back in late 2011, I saw the brand being promoted in FB in running groups. Saw the products promoted at one sports fair in Mines too. They were at Score Expo in PWTC during SCKLM’s race kit collection last year too, if I recall correctly?

Their newly opened physical store can be found in Jalan Klang Lama. Here's the map :

They have an online store, which made shopping much easier. Check out their online store here.

The brand is home-grown. Yup! Malaysia mari. That’s why the products are priced very affordably. When I visited their website, I thought… Ooo, that’s MY budget.

Don’t look down on them just because they’re homegrown! They are going in the international market too! They ship WORLDWIDE.

I know some of my running friends who absolutely swear by their expensive compression wear and there are also some who don’t think that one need for such a garment during sports. To each its own, yeah?

For those not familiar with compression wear; it is essentially something we wear while doing sports; to support our muscles on the outside, increase blood circulation, which speeds up removal of lactic acid. This will result in higher performance and faster recovery. I’m not gonna go technical about the values of compression wear lest I give you wrong information! You can just hop-over to Breathe’s website to learn about Breathe’s Compression Wear.

I did have a look-see look-see recently because they are having a sale right now. SALE! Who doesn’t love a SALE? Hahaha

There are two items that caught my fancy :

The Breathe Force Woman Long Sleeves priced at RM134 (RM197 before discount)

And the Red Breathe Fit Woman Short Sleeve. Only RM74 (RM127 before discount) I likeeeee the red. Heee… Plus, I like compression top. The feeling of everything being compacted and supported is nice. You know, nothing jiggling too much? Padat gitew, katanya.

Some more, the bargain hunter in me like the free shipping to Malaysia with no minimum purchase required. And! And! And! They allow exchange (either to 1 size smaller or 1 size larger) within 10 days of my purchase. WIN!

I guess some of you out there may be kinda not want to try this particular brand yet and decide to stick with more popular and familiar brands?
