Upgrade Your Fitness Gear with Mr Porter Sport

By

We don’t normally play favorites when it comes to online retailers, but if there’s one site we can always count on for good taste and superior quality brands, it’s Mr Porter. Now guys worried about their wardrobe style for the gym, field and track too can breathe a collective sigh of relief, as today the website just launched Mr Porter Sport.

“We know that sport and fitness are integral to our customers’ interests and day-to-day lives, so beyond offering the best in men’s fashion, we want to offer our global audience the best in men’s sports apparel as well,” explains Toby Bateman, Buying Director, MrPorter.com, adding that brands were selected for both their technical performance abilities and style. Accordingly, the category addresses nine so-called disciplines including running, cycling, tennis, golf, training, outdoor, swimming and sailing, and plans to introduce ski and surf later in the year.

In the meantime, there are 15 new brands to the site worth exploring, including Arc’teryx, APL, Condor, Newton, 2XU, Castelli, Fizik, Brooks England, Boast, RLX, TriggerPoint, Suunto, Oakley, Matuse and Arena. For a glimpse of the more than 150 exciting initial additions to the site, check out fresh tops by Iffley Road and Boast to Peter Millar’s slim-fit range for golfers and TriggerPoint’s GRID STK foam rollers above.

In other company news, on Thursday the retailer appointed Jeremy Langmead, one-time Editor-in-Chief of Mr Porter and more recent Chief Content Officer of Christie’s, to the newly created role of brand and content director, so we expect something of an exciting site refresh in the near future.

Y.Chroma introduces the Swiss Army Knife of the coat world
Get all your seasonal coats in one versatile option
Y.Chroma Quatro Jacket under a coat

Having a good coat wardrobe is one of the most critical pieces of your closet. Staying warm is an extremely important function of the coat, and style is an add-on that often gets lost when men need to guard themselves from the cold. When a man embraces the importance of style, that is, when he decides to dive deep into "functional fashion" and values the warmth and the appearance of a good coat; then he has to run out and buy multiple coats for every occasion. That is where Y.Chroma feels they can make a change. The Y.Chroma Quatro Jacket is the answer to the problem of needing multiple coats. They want you to look good and stay warm in numerous occasions, all in one jacket they are calling the Swiss Army Knife of jackets.
All your jackets in one

One of the things that Max Israel, founder of Y.Chroma, does so well is he offers products that are both functional in that they fit your lifestyle in ways you didn't even know you needed and fashionable in ways that they will stand out and not be seen anywhere else in your circle of influence until they see yours and want to buy their own. We call that trendsetting, by the way. With the Quatro, it looks better than any other quilted coat on the market, but it is also convertible to numerous styles: A hoodless vest, a hooded vest, a light jacket, and a lined puffer. Finally, there is a coat you can wear that is adjustable to changing temperatures and changing social environments.
