an in-depth guide

Take a read below:

I, II, III, IV: (Generation of garment)
Uno, Dos, Tres, Cuatro. No matter how you say it, these little roman numerals are how we indicate a new version of a much loved item. Every season, we count on your feedback to figure out exactly what they love and what can be improved. Our quest never ends when it comes to fit and function and I, II, & III mark the way.

Brushed (*Br)
Brushed promises a warm, soft layer against your skin. Specifically, the fabric’s bottom layer has been agitated and brushed to create a cozy, super-soft feel.

Durable Water Repellent (*DWR)
Fabric has been treated with a finish that causes water to bead off of the surface to keep you dry!

Water repellant vs waterproof: Our Waterproof products have an outer shell capable of repelling water AND taped seams to keep ALL water from penetrating. Water repellant garments do not have taped seams.

*[Fabric name]
Whenever you see the (*) followed by a fabric, it indicates that this fabric has been used to create the product. It can represent the main fabric used, or a secondary fabric used only in sections. *Tweed, *Mesh, *Rib and *Org are all examples.

Organic (*Org)
Certified Organic Cotton is an exciting addition to our amazing fabric line. Read all about this breathable natural option in Elissa’s “(fall)ing into organic cotton” blog.

Regular (*R)
This indicates our standard inseam. For ladies, the inseam is 31″ (size 2/4 = 30.5″). Men can expect 33″ (small = 31″). Take a look at our size chart for more info.

Reversible (*RVRS)
Your outfit possibilities double thanks to our reversible options in both pants and jackets. Our flat-seam technology enables us to offer two unique looks in one.

SL, SS, LS
We love to provide our guests with all the options. You can choose between sleeveless (SL), short sleeve (SS), or long sleeve (LS) to ensure the right product for every workout.

Tall (*T)
Those with wonderfully long legs need not worry – a tall length is made just for you! Women’s *T inseam is 35″ (size 4 = 34.5″). Men’s *T is 37″ (36″ for size small.)

Inseam measurements are listed on our size chart too.

That’s a lot of reference to your inseam, right? To figure out what yours is, check out Melissa’s “How to measure your inseam” blog.

And there you have it. Now take your new-found knowledge and shop fearlessly!
