Design
Xinx seem to have perfected their style on the first
attempt. All of their clothes look fantastic. They are sleek and stylish and
are sure to make you stand out. The Sweatpants and Prime T-Shirt combo
definitely makes a statement when you enter the gym, I had the black and gold
design and I absolutely love them. The Gold detail seamlessly travels up your
leg and blends into the top creating a very bold look. The Team T Shirt takes a
stripped back approach and it works wonderfully with the big “Xinx” logo
stamped across your chest. My personal favourite though is the Prime Vest in
Red, White and Grey, it oozes style and, for me at least, is the best looking
training top I’ve ever owned.
Comfort
The Sweatpants are my most comfortable item of clothing.
I wear them at the gym, around the house, whilst playing sports and if I was
allowed to I’d wear them everywhere. They are nice and warm but they never get
sweaty or too hot. They also performed excellently during intense leg workouts,
they aren’t restrictive and they don’t hamper performance. The 2 T-Shirts are
very comfortable as well, they are fitted but don’t ever stick to you and they
allow full range of movement. The Prime Vest isn’t a stringer so it’s not super
low cut and is extremely comfortable, some vest tops can cut into you a little
bit but not this one. All of the materials used feel like they are of the
highest quality. As soon as you put them on you can tell that they have been
designed and made to perfection.
Fit
The sweatpants have a nice fitted feel to them but they
never restrict movement or cut into you when you bend. The Prime T-Shirt is
tight in all the right places, in particular it does an excellent job of
showing off your arms. It also feels fitted around the waist and chest to
really show off the figure you worked so hard for. The Team T-Shirt is a bit
more of a standard T-Shirt fit for those who prefer a looser T-Shirt when they
hit the gym. My old favourite the Prime Vest is obviously designed to show off
your arms completely but it also hangs nicely over your traps to really bring
them out. Due to the way it cuts across your chest it also really showcases
your hard work on the bench press.
Price
Sweatpants £60.00
Prime T-Shirt £30.00
Prime Vest £25.00
Team T-Shirt £25.00
Now you might think this is very expensive for gym
clothes but these aren’t just standard gym clothes these are top of the range
and designed for people whose passion is fitness. If you spend hours each week
at the gym then this is completely worth it. If you look at the prices of the
top designer brands of fitness clothing then actually these are not only
cheaper but in my opinion both look better and are better quality.
Durability
These products have been worn a lot since we got hold of them,
they have been put through hell in the gym, playing sports and on the track.
They have all been washed repeatedly as well. There is not a scratch on any of
them, they all have held their shape and colour, they look as good as they did
when they first came out the package.
Results
When the prices are quite high it can be a bit of a
gamble to buy from a company you haven’t heard of but I cannot stress to you
again just how good these products are. They not only perform perfectly but
they look fantastic as well. You can tell from the first moment you see them
that these products have been designed and made to be the Gucci of the fitness
world. They feel phenomenal when you have them on they don’t feel cheap like
some gym clothes do, you can tell that they are of the highest quality. I have
tried to find faults with these products but I really can’t find anything worth
bringing up. They are borderline perfect!
