Many see the main obstacle in the path of a vegan athlete as nutrition. However, while nutrition is certainly a huge aspect of vegan athlete life to think about, ethical sports apparel is something that slips under the radar.
In recent years, a niche market for vegan apparel has opened, providing gear that is both high-quality and ethically sourced. Not only do these brands ensure their clothing is cruelty free, but they also promote the vegan lifestyle throughout their ranges. The idea is to both support and empower vegan athletes around the world to thrive within their chosen fields, whilst being open and proud about their veganism.
