The Definitive Guide to Living in the Capital , Cairo , Egypt

Sportswear isn’t just limited to gym bros anymore. Athleisure has become one of the biggest (and most comfortable) trends of the past few years. From lounging around in sweats to throwing on your workout leggings to walk around campus, sportswear is now a fashion essential. Plus having some cute new gym clothes might finally inspire you to actually go. 

Brands like Nike or Adidas have dominated the global market for years, but our own local brands are giving them some serious competition. If you’re looking for some stylish new gym fits or just want to add a few more comfortable options to your wardrobe, then check out these Egyptian sportswear brands. 

Sigma Fit @sigmafitegypt

Sigma Fit is giving us some of the most cutting-edge designs for sportswear on the market. Owned by three engineers, this tech-wear company incorporates smart technology into your clothes for the optimal workout gear. They’ve integrated hydrophobic technology into the fabric keeping any liquid from soaking in, and any odour from leaking out. Their products also have cooling, heating, anti-bacterial and more.  Most products range from about 200 to 400 EGP.
