Men’s Motion Mesh T-shirt, Men’s Motion Zipped Long Sleeve Top, and Men’s Motion Tights are all part of the Motion line and are available in black and volcanic grey. The Women’s Motion Sports Bra is part of the women’s line.

The Motion line from PANGAIA has received such a positive response, according to Claire O’Neill, Hyosung’s European Marketing Manager. “It is a clear indication that people are choosing to buy clothing made from more environmentally friendly materials. We look forward to working with a brand this inventive and committed to giving back more to the environment in the future.
