Myles Apparel Review

Working out in a ratty tee shirt and old sweatpants isn’t practical anymore. Men need activewear that moves with them, resists moisture, and is stylish yet practical. Enter Myles Apparel. Myles Apparel is a men’s activewear brand focused on creating functional clothing that men actually want to work out in. I tested four products from Myles Apparel, and spoiler alert, I loved them all.

Who Is Myles Apparel?

Adam Sidney and his closest friends founded Myles Apparel in 2014 as a men’s activewear company.

Originally a side project of Taylor Stitch and Huckberry, the goal of Myles Apparel was to create clothing that blurred the lines between activewear and casual apparel.

Myles Apparel Brand

Creating long-lasting activewear is the name of the game for this company. In an interview with MarTech Adam Sidney explained, “We say in various places that fitness is a lifetime journey and we want to be with you every step of the way.”

Community also seems to be a big focus at Myles Apparel. You can join the Myles Run Club, a growing group of men who complete challenges together or solo for chances to win Myles clothing.

Pros

  • Extremely well-made shirt and short combinations
  • Strong mesh pockets
  • Lightweight and breathable, perfect for tough workouts
  • Stitching and drawstrings are very durable
  • Timeless styles
  • 5-year guarantee

Cons

  • None, the clothing is fantastic!
Athletic Shorts Test

Myles Apparel Performance and Testing

For testing, I wore different combos of these four pieces over multiple weeks. There was no wrong combination.

While the clothing is casual, you wouldn’t be underdressed going out for a relaxed lunch. Each product is functional and looks very well made.

The colors are highly saturated, and I haven’t experienced any fading despite multiple washes per week.

The Everyday Short is as comfortable as shorts come and I wear them multiple times a week. The 10” length hits just above my knees and allows for zero resistance when I move.

Myles Apparel Shorts Performance

Both the Momentum and Everyday shirts are so soft and are a definite upgrade from my old Lululemon tops. They are incredibly lightweight, and almost feel like you’re wearing nothing at all.

The tees have an athletic fit that shows off your physique without being skintight. I had plenty of room to bend and lift without being restricted, and the shirts offer four-way stretch for added comfort.

Design Details

All the clothing was lightweight and kept me dry, which is quite the task during Phoenix, Arizona summers.

I really appreciated the liner in the Momentum Short because they kept everything in place during my cardio runs pre-workout. The mesh pockets were solid and didn’t feel like they would rip from dropping in my phone or keys.

Everyday Short Pocket

I also enjoyed the Momentum Tee sleeves (known as raglan sleeves) because they offered increased mobility when working my upper body.

Myles Apparel also uses flatlock seams on its clothing, which creates a more durable product. All the items I tested felt incredibly tough and I think they would endure even the most rigorous workouts. 

Myles Apparel Activewear

Myles Apparel obviously makes quality a priority in its clothing. From high-tech fabric features to tiny details like super durable drawstrings, this company is doing men’s activewear justice.

Is Myles Apparel Good Quality?

Myles Apparel has a Five-Year Quality Guarantee.

The company promises to give store credit for/replace items that have defects or unexpected damage up to five years from the time of purchase. The defective or damaged product is sent to The Renewal Workshop, where it is recycled and repurposed.

Myles Apparel Quality

Myles Apparel isn’t super specific on how materials are sourced but I did find that most items are sewn in San Francisco.

What the company is specific about is the technology in its fabric. Myles Apparel uses high-quality materials and added features like Storm Cotton, Polygiene Biostatic, and Polartec Power Dry to name a few. Nearly every clothing item on the website features innovative tech to help optimize your workouts.

Is Myles Apparel Worth It?

In short, Myles Apparel is absolutely worth it!

Myles Apparel’s prices are comparable to most premium activewear/outdoor brands. I prefer the look and feel of Myles Apparel clothing to any workout gear I’ve owned in the past.

Everyday Performance Wear

For how long I think these clothes will last, and how well they perform during physical activity, I think you get a major bang for your buck with this brand.

I do wish Myles Apparel was more transparent with how materials are sourced. I only found one article that gives a bit of detail regarding fabric selection and factory practices.
