We get emails everyday from new fans of RIPS underwear and the praise for a great product keeps rolling in! We, at RIPS. appreciate all comments and pass them along to our design and manufacturing teams . Now we bring to you RIPS Performance! This is a new line of sexy underwear and high performance activewear; we are beginning to take preorders and we are very excited about being able to offer these garments in some of our most popular silhouettes. RIPS Performance Garments (tencel/spandex) are a GREAT new addition to our RIPS Underwear product line and made of the softest premium performance fabric, Tencel®. RIPS Performance Underwear looks GREAT on – is fantastic at wicking moisture away from the body – and anyone who has touched or worn it loves the luxurious feel of this soft, environmentally-friendly fabric.

We will offer select 6 silhouettes in silky-smooth Tencel® fabric with a touch of spandex that drape for the ultimate body-enhancing fit and the moisture-wicking breathability of a premium performance fabric. The modern styling and soft fabric create garments that are infused with comfort and support in superb clean lines. Tencel® fibers are arranged to create unique moisture management and absorb 130% more vapor than cotton. Tencel has a cooling effect when temperatures get hot and a warming effect when it’s cold. Tencel is a natural cellulose performance fiber that is ideal for activewear whether worn during summer OR winter. Our new RIPS Performance garments retain their color wash-after-wash due to the unique characteristics of the Tencel® fibers. These PERFORMANCE styles have a sensational touch and will definitely win a spot in your “favorites” – whether you save them for special occasions or wear everyday!
