Beyond that, Afterglow has spent months researching suppliers around the world to ensure that all of our trims for our workout clothes for men and women are as eco-friendly as we can possibly make them.

Our Synapse sports shorts for men zip up with sustainably produced YKK Natulon zippers, which are fully recyclable. They also contain thread made from recycled PET bottles, rounded out with other sustainably produced or recycled elements, including the cords, thread and wash care labels.
