Best Winter Lightweight Gym Buys

This weather is all about rugging up but it doesn’t mean that it needs to take a toll on your workout routine as well. Here are the best gym updaters on the market right now that are almost weightless – read on for more. 

For your body

The legends behind Aussie athletic brand 2XU (pronounced ‘Two Times You’)  have stepped it up another notch with a new range that boasts extreme weightlessness. Each garment is made with the world’s lightest fabric, minimal seams, and contoured sleeves to allow for full-movement when you workout. Try 2XU GHST S/S Top, $90

For your feet

Nike’s latest update to the Free range is this model that incorporates the special Flyknit design, which are tiny ropes (as opposed to a sheet of fabric) that lock your feet in place like a sock. The result is a stretchy and light-as-a-feather solution for your feet, perfect for light running or cross-training workouts. Brilliant. Try Nike Free TR 5 Flyknit, $180

For your gear

Cute and practical, this drawstring bag is spacious enough for a spare change of clothes or even just your towel and drink bottle. The tonal colours also make it chic enough to carry “off-duty” when you’re just popping to your local cafe. Try Country Road Active Draw String Bag, $59.95

Other accessories

Pop a squeeze of lemon or a handful of mint leaves into this super-sized bottle; the metal casing will keep your drink extra cool all day long. You’ll also never have to worry about your water bottle leaking in your bag ever again all thanks to the screw-on lid. Try Cotton On Jado Drink Bottle, $29.95
