Because your skin wasn’t made to breathe plastic.

Most modern gymwear is built from polyester — a synthetic fiber made from petroleum. It feels cheap, traps heat, sheds microplastics with every wash, and releases chemicals that stay in your bloodstream long after your workout.

Cotton is different.

It’s natural. It’s breathable. It wicks moisture without chemical coatings. It doesn’t stink after a few sessions. It doesn’t break down into microplastics. And it doesn’t suffocate your skin.

Health benefits of 100% cotton gymwear:

✅ No synthetic fibers against your skin → prevents irritation & chemical leaching

✅ Breathable & temperature regulating → keeps you cooler under load

✅ Naturally hypoallergenic → safer for skin and immune system

✅ No microplastic shedding → protects both your body and the environment

✅ Durable & gets better with wear → timeless fabric that ages beautifully

Polyester gymwear is a lie. It was designed for profit, not performance — cheap to produce, fast to market, with no care for your health or longevity.

At ARTEM, we reject the plastic takeover of gym culture. We build 100% cotton gymwear — garments rooted in ancient wisdom and Golden Era simplicity. You train hard. You deserve better.

Cotton > Polyester. Every single time.
