In this new decade of boycotting Nike, if anyone is looking to branch out and try a new brand, look into JOLYN!!
I have been a runner for 14 years now and I’ve run in SO many different brands. I know that I have my favorite brands to run in, as do most runners, so trying a new brand can be scary. Once you find that perfect sports bra or those spandex that don’t make you chafe and help you feel comfortable while running, it can be hard to ever want to try anything new.
If your brand was Nike, but you don’t want to continue buying their products, here are a few reasons why you might want to consider supporting JOLYN:
1) JOLYN clothing is all made in North America. This means that they don’t burn as much fuel into the atmosphere because they don’t have to ship their products across the ocean.
2) JOLYN started as a competitive swimwear brand and the owner created the company because of the lack of diversity in style, color and pattern in the suits everyone was wearing. (Pretty much everything that women were wearing to swim was boring) JOLYN’s mission since day one was to make swimwear and activewear that was as cool and fun as the women who wear them. 🏃🏾♀️⚡️💃🏼🌈🧜🏽♀️💥💪🏼🌺
3) JOLYN activewear is ACTUALLY designed FOR WOMEN!!! Most of the larger brands don’t create new designs for their women’s clothing, they just size it down from the men’s clothes. (Which is why you see a LOT of baggy and poofy running shorts out there) JOLYN actually takes into account what women’s bodies look like and how they move and design accordingly.
4) all of JOLYN’s clothes are product tested on real women of all different shapes and sizes. They then alter their designs based on how the women look and feel in them. The products don’t get released until the design is PERFECT. (I’m talking the spandex shorts have that little curve in the back of the legs to cup and hold your booty in tight)
5) JOLYN supports athletes of all different sizes, ethnicities, and abilities. They recently partnered up with Haven Faith Shepherd, who is a 16 year old Paralympic hopeful swimmer and cross fitter! She survived a bomb as a baby, and is living her best life with double below the knee amputations.
6) JOLYN stands up for women and for what is right. They did a spotlight on Breckynn Willis, a teenager from Alaska who won her race only to be disqualified afterwards because the referee ruled that her TEAM ISSUED Nike swimsuit was inappropriate for competition.... (so much I could go on about for this one, but I’ll keep it short for everyone’s sake)
7) JOLYN partners with non-profit organizations throughout the year. Most recently they partnered with the surfrider foundation, which helps clean up our oceans, by donating $1 from every purchase and by giving their customers the option to round up their purchase if they wanted to donate more. Before that, they created a special pink flowery print that they called “tatas.” 50% of every purchase of the tatas print went to the breast cancer angels foundation, which is a non-profit that gives financial assistance to women with breast cancer.
So basically, JOLYN is doing a LOT of cool stuff!! At the beginning of this past year I started working for them as their running/activewear rep and The more I learn about the company, the more proud I am to be working for them!! If anyone is interested in JOLYN but has questions about how the clothes fit, please don’t hesitate to ask me!! I would love to help anyone find their new perfect running outfit :)
