Why eltee sydney?
1. won’t ride up or fall down.
It's hard to perform at your peak when you're yanking up your shorts or pulling your crop down.
We’re lucky to have two fit models at home but we also trial our designs on girls of all different ages and sizes to ensure we achieve a cut that stands up to their needs. We know that one of girls’ pet peeves with sportswear is when their shorts or leggings fall down or ride up, or when they're crop tops rolls up and moves around.
The combination of the fabrics and elastics we use, coupled with our carefully curated design process has resulted in a range of girls sports shorts and leggings that we can confidently say won’t ride up or fall down.
2. All about expressing youthfulness and energy
Girls just want to have fun, right?
Our prints and colourways are all about expressing youthfulness and energy – with a healthy side serving of making mum a little jealous that it doesn’t come in her size... but there's a serious side to our design too.
By working in consultation with female athletes and sports-minded girls, Lava Tribe has become the go-to for top young female national and international athletes for our high-performance construction and functional design.
In the five years since we launched, the youth sportswear industry has boomed but Lava Tribe continues to stand out for our commitment continually evolving fabrics, fit and technical elements.
3. STRIKES THE PERFECT BALANCE
We also know that many tween and teen girls feel more confident when they’re clothing offers some coverage.
Our bottoms are higher on the waist and a mid-thigh bike length leg, and our crops are higher on the neck with a little extra length for coverage that more revealing fashion-inspired brands.
We've work hard to achieve the perfect balance between style and age consciousness.
As a brand we also resist any imagery, designs or associations that are or could be perceived as provocative, and we promote diversity and body confidence in our workplace and in our advertising.
4. stay cool and dry when the heat is on
Approaching puberty can be a tricky and tenuous time for girls, and a common reason why tween and teen girls ditch training or drop out of sport all together is embarrassment.
One of the causes of this embarrassment? Sweat. Incredibly, in a survey by Women In Sport, 48% of girls agreed that ‘getting sweaty is not feminine’.
We integrate sweat wicking properties into our fabrics to help girls stay cool and dry when the heat is on.
The primary criteria we consider when choosing fabric for our activewear is that there is nothing rough about it. It must be soft to the touch, feel like a hug to wear and give her the freedom to move however she wants to.
