With the launch of the CLN Reflex Bag, we are introducing the CLN Personalisation Service . We want you to feel special. This is an opportunity for you to personalise your CLN products.
We're starting by giving you the opportunity to write your name or initials on our wildly popular gym bag. But it doesn't stop there! We'd love to know what other products you'd like to see this on. Get in touch at info@clnathletics.com and let us know!
Working out outside in the cold can be tough, but it's also a chance to strengthen both body and mind. With the right clothing, it's not only possible, but really comfortable. At CLN Athletics, we have a long history of developing workout clothes that work when the weather is challenging. Experience shows that layering is key. A base layer in technical material wicks away moisture, a warming mid layer keeps you comfortably warm, and an outer layer protects against wind and moisture. It creates a balance where you can move freely, without freezing or getting too hot. We design our garments with both function and feel in focus: a fit that follows the body, materials that breathe and last a long time, and a stylish design that feels right every time you put them on. All so that you can feel confident that the clothes will deliver, regardless of the temperature. For us, it's simple: the cold should never stop you. The right clothes make training outside an experience you actually look forward to." The text is written by Simon Hallberg Fitness lover & writer Published: 2025-10-01

Recovery is just as important as the workout itself. It's where your body rebuilds the strength you just broke down. Compression garments can be a game changer for helping your muscles recover. By increasing blood flow, they reduce stiffness and fatigue, and make you feel fresher faster. But compression isn't just about function. When the garments fit close to the body, follow your movements and feel stable against the skin, you also get a sense of security and extra focus. It's like a light support that reminds you that your body is ready, whether you're charging for the next workout or winding down after a long workout. At CLN Athletics, we see compression as part of the whole: stylish garments that provide both effect and feel. Comfortable enough for everyday life, technical enough for training, and designed to work for every body. So that recovery feels as natural as the training itself."

Here are our top tips to make your favorite CLN Athletics pieces last longer and perform optimally, wash after wash. 1. Wash as soon as possible after exercise After a tough workout, it's tempting to throw your clothes in the laundry basket or leave them in your bag. But sweat and moisture quickly create an environment where bacteria thrive – and that's what causes bad odor, not just the sweat itself. Do this: Hang your clothes to dry if you can't wash them right away. Don't store them bunched up in a bag or laundry basket. Wash preferably within 24 hours to reduce bacterial growth. 2. Turn the garments inside out before washing It's the inside that collects the most sweat and bacteria – and that's where it smells the most. Turning your workout clothes inside out helps with both hygiene and protects prints, logos and surface materials from wear. Advantages: More effective cleaning where it's needed most. Longer lifespan of colors, prints and textures. 3. Use cold water – 30 to a maximum of 40 degrees Most workout clothes are made from technical functional materials that are sensitive to high temperatures. Washing in water that is too hot can damage the fibers, cause the garments to lose their shape and impair their moisture-wicking properties. Consider: 30 degrees is enough to get rid of sweat and dirt. Avoid programs with prewash or high spin speeds. 4. Skip fabric softener completely Fabric softener may feel like a fresh finish, but it's actually one of the most common reasons why workout clothes lose their function. It forms a film over the fabric and blocks breathability. Fabric softener results: The clothes breathe less well → start to smell faster. Poor moisture transport → feels sticky during exercise. Risk of elastane and stretch material breaking down. 5. Use the right detergent – preferably for sportswear A mild detergent without perfume and bleach is gentler on technical materials. There are also special detergents for sportswear that are developed to effectively neutralize sweat odor. Tip: Avoid overdosing – it will not make the clothes cleaner. Run an empty machine with vinegar occasionally to clean the machine from sweat and detergent residue. 6. Air dry instead of tumble drying The heat in the dryer can destroy elastic fibers and cause garments to shrink or lose their shape. It's better to let your workout clothes air dry – preferably hanging or lying flat. Best way to dry: Hang on a hanger in a ventilated space. Avoid direct sunlight which can fade colors. 7. Wash workout clothes separately Mixing laundry with jeans, towels or items with zippers can create friction and damage the more delicate materials in your workout clothes. This is especially important if you have mesh, seamless tights or clothes with detailed prints. Please wash separately: Workout clothes (especially light and dark separated). Use laundry bags for extra delicate materials. The text is written by Simon Hallberg Fitness lover & writer Published: 2025-07-03
