Recovery and care

Personal care

What to bring in a gym bag?

Body wash:
A body wash designed for recovery and care can be particularly beneficial after intense physical activities, workouts, or when you want to relax. Body wash cleans skin and moisturizes it.

Ultra light towel:
These towels are typically made from lightweight, quick drying materials that are gentle on the skin and easy to carry. Depending on your needs, you may prefer a compact hand towel or a larger body towel. A smaller towel is easier to carry in a gym bag or backpack.

Hand gel:
Hand gel is a liquid substance that is used for cleaning your hands and killing bacteria. Hand gel is easier to use than soap. It removes common pathogens from hands.

Shower gel:
The shower gel is a liquid product that is used for cleaning the body during showers. You can buy shower gel from Gymstick, Softee, Sea to Summit, Salewa, and VAUDE.
