While most performance wear is built to handle intense, long workouts, few also offer the comfort of lounging around the home. The athleisure world had been synonymous with yoga pants typically marketed to women. But, brands like Rugged Black offer an alternative with athletic apparel that performs well and feels good. Rugged Black makes shirts, hoodies, shorts, and pants fit for the modern, active man. We tested out a few of their products and can attest that they look and wear great. Rugged Black built its products for a gym lifestyle. As such, they’re breathable and lightweight but soft enough to wear out for your morning coffee or walk around the neighborhood. The shorts and the tri-blend tee are great for short workouts, mid-length runs, and hikes while the pants and hoodie are perfect for the colder months. The simple design and neutral tones mean that any piece of Rugged Black gear will suit you well. Shop for new workout gear or refresh your loungewear now.
