About SA1NT Layers | High-Performance Sportswear
SA1NT burst onto the motorcycle scene in 2015 with the world’s first single-layer CE-rated motorcycle denim, creating a new segment in the market with a dynamic blend of protective function and timeless fashion. The brand quickly gained a loyal following among custom builders and passionate collectors. However, SA1NT always had wider aspirations to evolve functional and lifestyle products beyond motorcycle apparel.
SAINT LAYERS
Given the experience and skill set of the SA1NT team, it was only a matter of time before they created a new standard in active wear.
SA1NT Layers, launched in 2023, remained loyal to their desire to blend form and function. We've scoured the planet to source high-performance yarns with a sustainable background, engineering a capsule of attractive and highly functional run, gym, and compression styles.
SA1NT Layers features a range of sports apparel designed with the same focus on providing superior protection and performance while reducing their impact on the environment.
The use of sustainable materials such as recycled polyester, Repreve, and Tencel demonstrates SA1NT's dedication to reducing waste and promoting eco-friendly practices.
WHY & WHEN SHOULD YOU WEAR COMPRESSION?
COMPRESSION DURING ACTIVITY
Any type of compression gear can be used during exercise, but something with graduated compression will almost always yield the best results. If you're carrying an injury or just wish to support a specific muscle group, we recommend picking up something with targeted support like calf sleeves.
COMPRESSION FOR RECOVERY
If you want to use compression clothes mainly for recovery, it's best to find something with graduated compression. The graduated blood flow will clear away unwanted by-products that your body produces during exercise. Greater blood flow can also help your muscles and tissues repair themselves faster.
MANAGING LACTIC ACID
Lactic acid is a molecule that your body produces during exercise as an energy source. The problem is that our bodies don't know when to stop making it! A small amount is good, but any more than that can actually have the opposite effect and slow our muscles down.
ARE THERE ANY POTENTIAL DOWNSIDES OR PRECAUTIONS TO CONSIDER WHEN USING COMPRESSION?
It's important to note that compression wear should be fitted properly. The key is to have your clothing fit nice and snug, but not to the point where your movement feels restricted.
Conversely, wearing your compression clothes too loosely defeats the point of wearing it at all. Lastly, while compression wear has a number of awesome benefits it's not magic.
Stretch properly both before and after a run, and use common-sense guidelines to prevent picking up an injury of overworking yourself.
Supporting Community
SA1NT's success can be attributed to our unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and social responsibility.
