Workout Clothes & Gym Bags

The North Face offers more than jackets and winter gear. We also have specialized workout and training apparel and bags designed for high-intensity activities including working out at the gym. Our workout wear has features like moisture management, anti-odor technology, and roomy gussets for enhanced mobility. Our duffels and totes are ideal for carrying all your gear to and from the gym. Read more below why The North Face should be your destination for all things fitness and training.

What To Look For In Workout Clothing

 - Moisture-wicking materials: Look for fabrics that pull sweat away from your skin to help keep you cool and dry. Our Jaida collection, for example, is made with FlashDry™ technology that offers enhanced moisture management.

 - Stretch and mobility: Gym clothing should be snug, but not restrictive. Clothing with stretch allows you to move more freely. You'll find that stretch in our Dune Sky, Jaida, and Refina collections. Our Women's Refina Leggings, for example, are made with a fabric that moves with your body like a second skin.

 - Seams: Look for flat seams or no seams to help reduce chafing and irritation. Our Women's Jaida Pocket Leggings have no inseam.

 - Layering Options: Consider how you might layer your clothing especially when heading to and from the gym in snowy or rainy weather. A gym hoodie is an excellent option for layering over a tee, tank, or sports bra.

All About Gym Bags

A gym bag can be a classic duffel bag, a lightweight tote, or something more specialized like a water bottle holder with pockets. The right bag depends on why type of exercising/training you plan to do. Consider a duffel bag like one of our best-selling Base Camp Duffels if you need to carry lots of items like a change of clothes, shoes, towel, and water bottle. For more specialized activities like yoga, a lightweight tote that can hold your mat and a few other items may be a better choice. The North Face also offers the Borealis Water Bottle Holder that can carry your basics like your phone and keys without the bulk that comes with a gym bag.

What About Outdoor Workouts?

The North Face is all about the outdoors so, of course, our clothing and gear is designed to be used outside. Layering, again, is key when planning to train or exercise outdoors particularly in seasons with changing weather conditions. Look for pieces that can be worn and easily removed and packed away like windbreakers and lightweight softshell jackets. Don't forget accessories like hats and sunglasses and look for clothing with built-in UPF protection to help protect from the sun's harmful rays.
