342 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M5V 2A2

Canadians in pursuit of sweat clad themselves in this iconic activewear brand founded in Vancouver, B.C. Tops, bottoms, outwear and undergarments are constructed with technical athletic fabrics that are designed to endure years of hardcore training, long-distance running and high-intensity yoga practices. The popular Wunder Under pant is a no-fuss black legging made with the brand’s signature four-way stretch Luon fabric that moves with you; the tights are so comfortable and versatile you’ll definitely find yourself wearing them outside the gym. Avoid that post-workout pong in lightweight all-sport apparel made with anti-stink technology that prevents the growth of odour-causing bacteria.
