With summer comes that added motivation to get out and get fit. However, summer too can propose some challenges to your workout momentum. One of the number one factors that can take away from your training game in summer is that oppressive heat. Whether you're running, strength training, or doing outdoor circuits, the right gear makes all the difference. CW-X compression gear is built to support your performance and keep you cool when the temperatures rise to humid or high sweat-inducing numbers.
The Challenges of Training in Hight Temperatures
Summer workouts mean more sweat, higher levels of fatigue, and added strain on the body. This might mean you have to wake up extra early to beat the heat, or get into training in the evenings when the sun goes down and the temperatures drop. Training under high-heat conditions also comes with its own bag of risks from dehydration, overheating, and muscle fatigue—making proper gear an absolute must.
Key Features of CW-X Compression Gear for Summer Training
Lightweight, Breathable Fabrics
CW-X knows what plays into training hard, no matter the season. However, when it comes to summer workout clothes there are more challenges that need to be addressed. That’s why CW-X tights and sports bras are made from moisture-wicking, quick-dry materials that actively keep you cool throughout your training. Ventilated panels, like the one’s found on the Stabilyx Ventilator Short, enhance breathability and allow heat to escape, keeping you dry even under that brutal noon sun.
Pair your favorite Stabilyx Ventilator Joint Support Compression Short with the Xtra Support High Impact Sport Bra for the full experience.
Support That Doesn't Weigh You Down
So many athletes choose compression gear over other workout gear because of how effective high-quality compression gear can be. It’s a simple tool to level up performance and keep you comfortable during your most intense workouts. Compression provides muscle stabilization and joint support without that extra bulk (which nobody wants in high-heat conditions). Compression gear like CW-X’s Endurance Generator Short is ideal for running, HIIT, or outdoor circuit training in the heat. These shorts were especially designed to provide support and stability without restricting your body’s range of motion.
Moisture Management for Comfort
One of the main benefits of CW-X’s compression gear for summer activities is its ability to keep you dry. Our summer workout tights, shorts and bras are engineered to manage moisture efficiently, which not only keeps you dry but also minimizing chafing during warm summer sessions. That means more comfort and fewer distractions from warm-up to cooldown.
How Compression Gear Helps Regulate Body Temp
Compression gear not only helps promote efficient blood flow to those joints and muscles in need, it also helps the body regulate its internal temperature. This means you can train for longer, and reduce that heat trying to drain your energy.
Gear up this summer with tights like CW-X’s Stabilyx 3.0 Joint Support 3/4 Compression Tight, which supports joint performance even when the body is under environmental stress.
Recommended CW-X Styles for Summer Training
While most gear was designed for all-season training, there are certainly some styles specifically designed for winter sports, and summer sports in mind. For instance, you don’t want to be caught in our insulated tights when it’s 95 degrees out there.
