This allows you to regulate body temperature easily and push yourself harder as Zenkai clothing harnesses the power of your sweat. Sweat is our friend, keep it on you! Zenkai Sports is also the only performance apparel company that is cotton-based. All of their gear is over 65% cotton with some pieces over 95%.
