Tripulse Activewear Review, Sustainable, Stylish, and Built for Movement

Discover Tripulse, the Swedish activewear brand blending performance, comfort, and sustainability. From naturally antibacterial fabrics to athlete-tested designs, this is gear you’ll want to wear on every run – and long after.

Tripulse is a Swedish activewear brand with a clear mission: create performance workout clothing that’s kind to the planet, ethical in its production, and comfortable for everyday athletes.

After testing their pieces and diving deep into their philosophy, it’s clear that Tripulse isn’t just another fitness brand. It’s part of a movement toward better choices for both people and the planet.

Natural fabrics that perform

Tripulse uses TENCEL™ Lyocell, a plant-based fiber made from sustainably sourced wood pulp. Unlike synthetic materials, TENCEL is breathable, naturally antibacterial, and incredibly soft, more like loungewear than traditional activewear.

Yet, it holds up impressively well under pressure, whether you're out on a long run, hitting the gym, or flowing through a yoga session. And it’s not just about performance Tripulse’s fabric comes with unique benefits that truly set it apart.

Thanks to its natural odor resistance, nearly 90% of Tripulse customers report wearing their gear 2 to 8+ times before needing a wash, compared to synthetic activewear which often needs laundering after just one or two uses. That means less laundry, longer-lasting gear, and a smaller environmental footprint.

It’s also a game-changer for people with sensitive skin.

The fabric is naturally hypoallergenic and free from harsh chemical treatments or finishings unlike most synthetic technical wear. In a customer survey, users rated Tripulse clothing 9.9 out of 10 for skin comfort, with zero irritation. For comparison, synthetic options scored just 6.4. If you deal with eczema, rashes, or skin sensitivities during workouts, this could be a true breakthrough.

A small amount of degradable or recycled elastane (Roica) adds the stretch and durability you need, without compromising Tripulse’s dedication to clean, eco-conscious materials.

Built for movement, built to last

Every piece I tested from the leggings to the performance top felt thoughtfully engineered and clearly shaped by real-world needs.

The leggings are squat-proof and high-waisted, with a discreet drawstring that keeps them comfortably in place, no matter the movement.

What makes this even more impressive is that Tripulse involves its own community active individuals, including runners in the design process.

This collaborative approach ensures that every product is tested, refined, and optimized based on real feedback, resulting in activewear that’s not only functional, but truly user-friendly and satisfying to wear.

There’s even a hidden waistband pocket perfect for keys, a gel, or anything else you want to stash during a run or workout.

These are clothes designed for movement, but also for the moments in between. They’re polished and stylish enough to wear before or after your workout, especially if you’re heading straight into errands or meetings.

Ethical production and climate consciousness

All Tripulse garments are made in Europe (specifically Portugal) under fair and transparent working conditions. The brand is climate neutral certified and committed to a low-impact, plastic-free supply chain.

From sourcing to production to packaging, every step is designed to reduce environmental harm and promote long-term sustainability.

Tripulse is also refreshingly transparent about every part of their process, something that builds real trust in a crowded market.

A brand with values

What sets Tripulse apart isn’t just their innovative fabric or flattering designs, it's the intention behind everything they do.

They aren’t chasing fast fashion trends or releasing endless collections. Instead, they’re building something slower, more conscious, and deeply aligned with a purpose.

Their online community, the Tripulse Tribe, encourages active living in harmony with the planet.

They also offer exclusive discounts to students, trainers, and affiliates, another reflection of their commitment to community over profit.

What to consider before buying

If you’re used to activewear driven by bright colors, big logos, or ultra-low prices, Tripulse might feel like a different approach.

Their color palette is minimalist, and the pricing reflects the true cost of ethical manufacturing and premium, non-toxic materials.

But when you factor in durability, skin comfort, odor resistance, and environmental responsibility, these pieces deliver tremendous long-term value.

You’ll wash them less, wear them more, and feel better about every choice.
