  • 1. How long will Purpose gear last with consistent triathlon training and racing?

    All Purpose products — especially those with Hypermesh Pro — are built to endure the grind of serious triathlon prep. With proper care, they’ll hold their performance, fit, and structure through multiple seasons of racing, travel, and long training blocks.

    2. What makes Purpose Performance Wear stand out in triathlon and endurance sports?

    Purpose was made for athletes training in real-world conditions — heat, humidity, and high mileage. Hypermesh Pro fabric is lightweight, breathable, and fast-drying, offering race-day performance without compromising comfort. It’s trusted by elites across Asia and beyond for a reason.

    3. How should I care for my Purpose gear after a session or race?

    Rinse your kit right after training, then cold wash on a gentle cycle. Avoid softeners, bleach, and the dryer — hang dry only. The gear is tough, but a little care keeps the technical fabrics performing at their best.

    4. How does Purpose gear fit — is it true to size?

    Purpose is performance fit — streamlined, aero, and made to move with you during swim, bike, and run. It’s meant to feel close to the body without restricting movement. If you prefer a slightly looser feel or are between sizes, sizing up is a safe call.

Very comfort, lightweight shirt

Bought the special edition in Taupo during the IM 70.3 World Championships. I absolutely love the comfort of the shirt.

Not breathable in Singapore humidity: clings even at home

Supported Purpose because it's a Singaporean brand, and I bought this singlet for the humidity it's marketed to handle. It didn't deliver.

First top on a run, and it clung to my skin as I sweated. I then wore a second Purpose top at home on an ordinary humid day, without exercising, and it stuck to my body and felt warm and clingy there too. That's two different tops in two different situations, both failing at the thing the singlets are sold on.

For comparison, I race in a Nedao singlet in the same Singapore humidity, and it doesn't cling.

I'd like to see Purpose:

Test the fabric properly in Singapore humidity, wet as well as dry, before making breathability claims.
Say honestly how it performs once it's damp.
Give a straight answer on whether the fabric is suited to humid-weather running.

I'd like this to work, because I want a local brand to do well. Right now I can't recommend this singlet for Singapore's climate.

Lightweight & comfortable

Suitable for SG weather and feels smooth on the skin. Also very pretty to wear for other occasions besides running.

Hi. This is my 3rd attempt to get an answer. You sent me this as a long sleeve instead of a short sleeve. Please check your message function and email. Thanks.
