3x Mesh-Lined Zipper Pockets
Two deep side zippered pockets and one rear zippered compartment. Built with double-stitched reinforcements to securely carry heavy smart devices and keep cards flat, even during agility drills.
Materials Science Under the Hood
For athletes, high-humidity clothing retention acts as a physical bottleneck. When moisture is trapped, body temperature rises, leading to rapid exhaustion. This thermal latency acts similarly to network packet loss—preventing optimum performance delivery. (Read more about signal latency on our Internet Speed Loss Calculator).
By utilizing a 90/10 ratio of polyester to elastane, Northyard creates a physical structure that repels moisture absorption and promotes quick drying. Flatlock cross-stitched seams ensure that high-strain points like the inner thigh and seat do not give way during deep barbell movements.
