Hey rugby family,

We need to have an honest conversation about training gear. We've been watching rugby players across South Africa struggle with exercise shorts that just don't cut it – shorts that rip during intense gym sessions, waistbands that give up during explosive drills, and fabrics that feel like cardboard after a few training washes.

That's exactly why we created our 365 Lifestyles and Elites exercise shorts. Not because the market needed another option, but because rugby players needed gear that could handle their unique training demands.

It happened almost overnight. One week we were jogging the Sea Point Promenade, the next we were watching glass-box rallies under floodlights while someone yelled, “Bandeja!” Padel Cape Town isn’t just a trend; it’s a hybrid of tennis theatrics and squash pace that hooks every first-timer. Points last longer, the walls keep rallies alive, and nobody minds a bit of laughter between volleys. As a performance brand stitched together right here in the Mother City, we felt the pull immediately. The soundtrack of the padel sport—squeaking sneakers, the crisp pop of freshly pressurised padel balls, cheers ricocheting off acrylic—has become our creative metronome.
