You know that inner voice that says “Please . . .  stop! I . . . can’t . . . . run . . . any . . . moooooore!” That little fella’s got far too much to say for himself. It’s about time you stuck a sock in his mouth and Kapow-kicked him outta here!

5. Conquer Mountains

Do you ever catch yourself saying “I wish I had the confidence…” 

Stop wishing and start dishing out truckloads of that fearless spirit. Lose the baggy sweat pants and get yourself some proper gear. The super comfy kind that makes you feel athletic and ready for action in an instant.

As a famous Doctor once wrote: “Your mountain is waiting – so get on your way.” 

PRO TIP: if you’re wearing a harness or any kind of high-abrasion mountain climbing gear, go for the Kapow Performance PRO leggings, which boast super durable technical fabric that will take whatever pain you can dish out.

If crazy contortions are your thing and you’re the kinda guy who’s at home madly grinning, spinning and swinging upside down like an acrobat with a kaleidoscopic soul, vibrant leggings are what you need. 

Performance-wise, they’re unbeatable – supreme comfort, excellent muscle support and a secure fit to make sure you ain’t swinging down below. Style wise, they’re a show-snatching, eye-catching class above any other kind of workout wear.
