Running Clothing

At Sportitude we have sports clothing that can support you during your fitness journey. We have clothes suitable for those starting, elite athletes and everyone in between. In our collection you can find socks, shirts, shorts, swimsuits, tracksuits and many others. Just like your sports shoes, what you wear during a workout can aid in keeping you cool, help reduce injury and keep you looking great!

The sports clothing you choose can reflect your personality and favourite colour choices. As you browse our website, you can filter our collection to only see what you're specifically looking for. With over 1500 items available, with more being added every week, filtering can be a good way to zero in on what you need. For example, if you recently added some running shoes to your cart and need the clothing to match, then filtering by sport and running will show you all the items in that range. Then you can narrow it down further by using another filter, perhaps you only want to see men’s items, or you're into colour coordination and need everything green. Whatever you need in sports clothing at Sportitude we have something that you’ll simply love.

At Sportitude we pride ourselves on offering the best for all our customers. A big part of this is offering free shipping for all orders over $100 (or $7.95 for under). We ship all over Australia and most items will be at your doorstep in 1-5 days for capital cities and 2-10 days for all other areas.

After picking out the sports clothing that suits your style, have a look through our men’s running shoes and our women’s running shoes. We have brands like Brooks, Asics, Mizuno, Nike and many others that will be perfect for anyone in your family. We have shoes that are suitable for all sports (including netball, football and tennis) and activities (such as trail running or cross training). Sportitude is a one-stop-shop for all your sporting wear needs.

How to choose sports clothing?

With so many options available to you sports clothing can be a bit of a minefield to get through. While we’ve made it easier with our filtering function, knowing what you want is only half the decision. After you select your clothes how do you know what fit is best?

All of the items that we carry have a size chart and guide. This is to help with the unfortunate truth that there is no worldwide standard in measurements for clothing. Some clothes will come with measurements in inches and centimetres, and that can make it easier to tell what size you need. But for anything that is marked as small, medium, large and so on, it can be a little more difficult to tell what size you actually need. Using the size guide chart is often the quickest and easiest method of finding the size that will suit you the best.

For shirts, you may need to measure your chest, waist and hip, these measurements will help in choosing the best fit for your body type. If you find yourself in the middle of two different sizes. You can choose to go up a size if you prefer loose-fitting clothes, or down a size, if you like a tighter feel. Whichever suits you best, remember that sizes are simply a number and not a reflection of your abilities.

If you’re buying a new pair of shorts and pants, the measurements you may need are your waist, hip and inseam. For compression pants, you may also need your weight and height. Having all these details on hand will help you pick out a suitable size. When you choose an item, we'll also show you what other items will match. We’ll show you similar coloured products, something to complete your ensemble, and what other customers bought to go with what you selected.

What is sports clothing made of?

Sports clothing is made from a variety of materials, and it all depends on what the clothes are specifically designed to do. For example, compression garments will have different materials for a loose-fitting running shirt. All of the items we sell at Sportitude will have the materials listed and this is so you can make an informed choice on your purchases. Here we’ll list some of the most common materials you’ll find in sports clothing:

• Cotton - while not the best for sweat absorption, it does have improved odour management because it is a very breathable fabric.
• Microfiber - a form of polyester, although sometimes made from nylon. Microfibre is especially good at liquid absorption as it can hold more than seven times its weight.
• Elastane - also known as Lycra or Spandex this is a flexible material and often used in tight-fitting clothing where freedom of movement is required.
• Bamboo Fibre - a totally natural fibre, bamboo offers a lightweight feel and moisture-wicking which is perfect for many types of sportswear.
• Gore-Tex - most often found on shoes and jackets. Gore-Tex is commonly associated with waterproofing.
• Nylon - a quick-drying material that can wick sweat easily and is reasonably stretchy.
• Tencel - a wood-based material and it has good sweat-wicking properties. As Tencel is biodegradable it is an excellent choice for the environmentally-minded.

Where to buy sports clothing online?

At Sportitude, we have focussed our collection of sports clothing on what can benefit you. One of the many advantages of buying clothing online is that you’ll get a quality product for a great price in more colours than you'll find in a retail shop. Add in that these are shipped directly to you, and the fact that you can shop at any time means that you are in control of when and where you shop. You can avoid crowded malls and looking through racks of clothing that may not exactly suit what you’re after. Another bonus with online shopping is that we can offer more items as we’re not constrained to a certain size.

Sportitude is all about the attitude you have towards health and playing sport. We know that wearing sports clothing that feels good and looks great is the perfect way to keep you out there and in the action. Just like any profession when you wear the right gear it can make the experience easy and enjoyable. If you assign yourself a ‘uniform’ for working out it can help get your head in the game and inspire you to keep pushing and breaking through any walls that are stopping you from achieving the highs that we know you’re capable of.

Choosing an online store that reflects your sporting values and is doing more than simply selling sporting clothes and footwear is key to deciding who you should shop with. In our store, you’ll find instructional videos and advice on the best shoes and clothes to buy. We’ll support you with our 30-day returns policy, and get your gear out to you fast, (1-5 days in capital cities and 2-10 days for regional). Shipping is free for any order over $100 and only $7.95 for orders under $100. Sportitude has been in business for many years and our customer reviews reflect how people feel when they shop with us.
