We have all had the experience: workout gear that feels unnatural and stinks, no matter how many times you wash it. The truth is most traditional performance apparel is made from petroleum-based (oil) fibers treated with multiple chemicals to artificially enhance the attributes of the fabric: one chemical to wick moisture, one chemical to provide UV protection, and still another chemical to mask o
dor. The founders of tasc Performance saw a need for a natural alternative – A fabric that feels better against the skin, is easy to care for, does not stink, and performs naturally without all the chemicals. The solution, as created by the family operated New Orleans-based company, is the combination of a unique blend of fibers (organic cotton or merino wool with viscose from Bamboo) and a proprietary finishing process (BamCo®). The process, which took 2+ years to perfect, maintains the inherent performance characteristics of the fiber (moisture wicking, breathability, UPF 50+, temperature regulation, and anti-odor) without the use of chemical enhancements. The result is a fabric that feels amazing against the skin, is very durable, and performs as well (or better) than common synthetic options. tasc Performance offers a full-line of men’s and women’s functional athletic apparel for the modern performance lifestyle. The clothes are extremely versatile and designed to keep the wearer comfortable in multiple outdoor conditions and transition easily from specialty exercise classes to the street. The company continues to innovate and has recently expanded its fabric technology to include a new Fleece (Velu™ Performance) and a base layer system (Bamboo + Merino).
