Compression garments for recovery

by Simon Hallberg in Inspiration

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."

Clothes for training in the cold

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

Wash workout clothes

Workout clothes are built to perform. But to keep them looking and feeling fresh over time, you need to take care of them properly. 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

Exercising in the summer heat

Summer is here, and with it comes longer days, warmer weather and more opportunities to train outdoors. But with high temperatures also come challenges. To get the most out of your training and at the same time take care of your body – it’s important to think strategically. Here are CLN Athletics’ best tips for training smart and sustainable when the sun is shining. Exercise when the temperature is lower During the summer, it’s wise to plan your workouts around the heat of the day. The hottest period tends to be between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., and during these hours it’s often tough—and potentially dangerous—to run at high intensity. By training early in the morning or late in the evening, you can take advantage of cooler air and maintain a better pace throughout your workout. Best times to exercise: Before 9:00 AM After 7:00 PM Not only will the temperature be more comfortable, but you will also avoid the strongest UV radiation. Adjust the intensity When it's hot, your body works harder to regulate its temperature. This causes your heart rate to rise faster, which can affect both performance and recovery. So it's wise not to chase personal bests in every workout during the summer. Instead of going all out every time, you can incorporate workouts that focus on technique, stability, and movement. Bodyweight training, lighter kettlebell workouts, or mobility exercises work great for maintaining the habit while still giving your body time to recover. Keep the fluid level up Drinking enough water is important, not only before and after exercise, but throughout the day. When you sweat more than usual, you lose not only fluids, but also important salts and minerals that affect your performance. For a normal training day in the heat, you should aim to drink 2–3 liters of water, and even more if you sweat a lot. For longer or harder workouts, it may be wise to supplement with electrolytes in the form of sports drinks or tablets. Also consider: Drink regularly, not just when you are thirsty. Avoid alcohol, especially the day before exercise – it dehydrates the body. Clothes that work with you Choosing the right workout clothes can make a huge difference in how you experience the heat. During the summer, you should prioritize garments that are lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying. Functional materials that wick away moisture will help you stay cool and comfortable throughout your workout, whether you're working out in the gym, in the park, or on the beach. CLN Athletics has a wide range of clothing designed for just this. Our garments with moisture-wicking technology and smart fits are perfect for sweaty summer days. Listen to your body No achievement is worth sacrificing your health for. If you feel dizzy, nauseous, or unreasonably tired during a workout, take it as a warning sign. The heat affects us differently, and some days simply require rest or a slower pace. There is no loss in backing down, on the contrary, it is a sign that you are training consciously.
