Since 2017, PURPOSE PERFORMANCE WEAR’s achievements were not that it was the first brand from Singapore, maybe even Southeast Asia, to launch high-performance technical apparels triathlon, running, and cycling space. But that it achieved so many accolades within a few short years. Still, with a small yet growing audience, PURPOSE has accomplished so much year on year that it’s a wonder what else it can do with a large user base.

After a 2-year pause, PURPOSE is doubling down on triathlon, running and cycling for modest Muslim women. One of the most physically challenging sports, triathlon has been inaccessible for women who need to remain modest, especially those from Muslim countries.

It has been 2 years since the Ironman 70.3 Desaru Coast event was scheduled to take place, and many had hoped that the race would finally happen this year. Although indeed, the turnout was lesser than the total number registered to compete, the event was nonetheless a success for PURPOSE. With many participants and racers wearing our kits, this is perhaps a sign of how the brand has remained strong on everyone’s mind even through the pandemic.

Tendonitis 3 weeks before and food poisoning the night before a big race is usually enough to put someone off. But not for Arjun, completing every triathlete in Southeast Asia’s comeback race with a strong 4th in category and 11th overall.

With strong performance improvements year-on-year since 2018, the year he got introduced to PURPOSE, Arjun’s been wearing PURPOSE ever since. How much of those improvements are attributed to his tenacity and vision to be a better athlete and PURPOSE? We’ll never know. What we know is, that we are extremely glad to come along on his journey.

Another athlete who swears by PURPOSE, Philipp only started triathlon less than 5 years ago. A pure vegan, Philipp chose a plant-based lifestyle because of environmental, health and ethical reasons. Although he is aware that he is fighting a daily uphill battle, he hopes his plant-based lifestyle can inspire others to adopt the same for the health of our planet and oceans.

In the first real test of the new PURPOSE World Triathlon racing tri suit with Hydrophobic quality, the kit performed spectacularly over the long-distance half Ironman race. Worn by Ng Wei Quan from Singapore who placed 3rd in his category at the Ironman 70.3 Da Nang recently. 

Hot on the heels of his Ironman World Championship victory at St. George Utah, we interviewed New Zealander Matt Kerr and asked about his feelings, thoughts and future plans. And, of course, what he thinks of his racing kit.

My life has revolved around endurance sports for about as long as I can remember. I’m passionate about helping other achieve their peak performance, but I also recognize that race results are just a fraction of the story. My true goal is to forge a community of athletes who make the most out of their life through sport and laugh together along the way. Let’s find out together where sport can take you!

PURPOSE, the official kit supplier for the Cairns 50 Ultramarathon, making the official Cairns 50 racing tees, singlets, as well as crew and casual t-shirts. Inspired by the tropical beauty of Cairns, the custom-designed kits reflect the sea, reef and rainforest setting within which the ultramarathon is held.

A theme that unifies our PURPOSE triathlon, cycling and running communities into one. Identified by its bold and daring design patterns, the distinctive-looking kits of Team PRPS are designed to be immediately recognizable at any race or event. Team PRPS kits will launch via a crowdfunding campaign, making the kits an exclusive series for loyal Purpose fans.

Matt’s journey to purpose began through Endure IQ where he tried out one of our top-performing triathlon suits. “Not only do I race in PURPOSE wear I also do all of my training in it,” he said, appreciating the difference high-quality clothing can make.

Like all users who are new to any product, Josiah has at first, some reservations about the quality of the PURPOSE cycling kits. Understandably so, because being a 3-time Olympian, Commonwealth Gold Medalist, and former Keirin World Number 1, he’s been exposed to many cycling kits. No doubt some are from the world’s most reputable brands.
