About Baleaf
Are you someone who likes to follow fitness trends or discover new sports and outdoor activities? Or are you perhaps one of those people who could never choose between the Summer and Winter Olympics because your sporting activities know no seasonal boundaries?
While it’s great to stay adventurous and keep your workout routine varied, a wardrobe that can keep up with your active lifestyle can quickly become expensive and take up valuable space in your closet if you don’t shop smart. If you’re looking for a brand that can help you optimize your athletic wardrobe with versatile pieces, read this Baleaf review.
Baleaf is a brand of affordable, high-quality athletic wear with simple designs that are suitable for a variety of fitness, sports, and outdoor activities. They ship throughout the US and carry a wide range of clothing for men, women, and even children, so the whole family can enjoy their favorite activities together.
Although its presence cannot yet compete with established brands with well-known logos, Baleaf has built up an impressive fan base with its functional approach to sportswear. The brand has 1,000 Facebook followers and 12,700 followers on Instagram. It has also been featured in travel and fitness media such as Shape, Travel + Leisure, and Runner’s World.
If you’re looking for new clothes that will take you from yoga to the baseball field to a few extra miles on your bike, my review will give you the lowdown on the brand’s history, best-selling products, promotions, and customer feedback so you can decide if this brand is right for you.
Let’s get changed and take a closer look at Baleaf!
Overview of Baleaf
Baleaf was founded by Lefee Xu, the current CEO of Xiamen Dream Supply Chain Co. and an experienced e-commerce entrepreneur who is passionate about providing people with high-quality sportswear.
According to their website, Baleaf’s affordable, versatile sportswear line launched in 2015. Baleaf is built on the principles of inclusion, accessibility, and functionality through optimized designs and affordability. The brand’s mission encompasses four elements:
- “Creating a better active lifestyle together!”
- “Free your mind, body, and soul.”
- “Create a better active lifestyle for 99% of people.”
- Improve the carbon footprint of the manufacturing industry.
They also realized that they could help reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing by making fewer products that met more needs, keeping costs low for both the wallet and the planet.
Baleaf also recognized that there was not enough size diversity in the sportswear market. To remedy this, they make all their garments in sizes XS to 3XL for men and women, as well as petite, tall, and extra tall options.
Now that I’ve covered a little more about the basics of the brand in my Baleaf review, let’s take a look at some of the highlights of shopping with this inclusive activewear brand.
Highlights
- Comfortable, functional, and well-made sportswear.
- Simple designs and multifunctional fabrics allow for versatility in various activities.
- Affordable prices and reduced carbon footprint due to production.
- Free shipping on orders over $59.
- Free returns for incorrect or damaged orders.
- Good customer reviews.
Although the brand also manufactures sportswear for children, in this Baleaf review I will focus primarily on the best-selling garments for adult women and men.
Let’s take a closer look!
Baleaf Women’s Review
Size, color, function—there’s a lot to consider when buying the right workout clothes. Fortunately, you’ll have no shortage of choices when you opt for one of Baleaf’s women’s styles.
To give you an idea of what I’ll be covering in this Baleaf review, here are the bestsellers I’ll be looking at: the Laureate 28“ Thermal Leggings, the Triumph 28” Thermal Water-Resistant Pants, and the Laureate Jacquard Thermal Pullover.
Baleaf Laureate 28″ Thermal Leggings Review
Whether you’re going to a Pilates class, jogging, or doing any other activity that requires a flexible yet durable material, the Laureate 28″ Thermal Leggings are just right for you.
The polyester and spandex blend adapts to your movements, wicks away moisture, allows your skin to breathe, and is still water-repellent.
These leggings from Baleaf keep you warm thanks to their brushed fleece lining and have been tested by the manufacturer to ensure that they don’t tear or show through when you move and squat.
The gusset in the crotch and the flat seams that adapt to the contours of the body, together with the high cut, ensure a secure yet comfortable fit. There is also a zippered pocket on the back where you can store small items you want to have with you.
These leggings are 28 inches long and reach to the ankles. They are available in sizes XS to 3XL.
For $33, you can get the Laureate 28″ Thermal Leggings in black, green, red, brown, and various shades of blue and gray.
Baleaf Laureate Jacquard Thermal Pullover Review
If you expect strong winds and cold temperatures during your leisure activities, try the Laureate Jacquard Thermal Pullover.
Like many other thermal garments from Baleaf, this long-sleeved shirt is made from a breathable, moisture-wicking polyester-spandex blend, but features a comfortable brushed fleece lining that keeps you warm and protects you from the cold and moisture.
This balance between warmth and breathability is also reflected in the high collar and half zip. They ensure that the sweater fits comfortably and stays secure, but can still be easily adjusted, opened, or removed when you need some air.
Equipped with two zippered side pockets and available in sizes XS-3XL, it’s the perfect everyday outdoor garment.
You can get the Laureate Jacquard Thermal Sweater for $37 in black, white, gray, red, or purple.
Baleaf Men’s Review
Who says you can’t sweat and look good at the same time? Baleaf not only has great women’s clothing, but also a wide selection for men!
In this review of Baleaf, I’ll be looking at the best-selling Triumph UPF50+ Sun Shirt, the Laureate Thermal Water-Resistant Tights, and the Laureate Ultra Light 5″ 2-in-1 Shorts.
Baleaf Triumph UPF50+ Sun Shirt Review
If you’re out in direct sunlight and want to protect yourself without sweating, the Triumph UPF50+ Sun Shirt is a great solution.
The polyester fabric of this shirt blocks most harmful rays with its UPF 50+ protection, yet is breathable and keeps moisture away from your body. And if you’re exposed to rain or water, or just sweat a lot, it dries very quickly.
With a crew neck and long raglan sleeves that offer plenty of stretch and flexibility for your acrobatic activities, you’ll look great. It’s available in many different colors, including blue, gray, green, black, and white.
The Triumph UPF50+ Sun Shirt is available for only $19 in sizes S-3XL.
Baleaf Laureate Ultra Light 5″ 2-in-1 Shorts Review
You should never underestimate the importance of quality when it comes to simple fitness shorts. The Laureate Ultra Light 5” 2-in-1 Shorts are simple shorts for every day and every place, which are durable and suitable for almost any activity imaginable.
Like most other items in this Baleaf review, these shorts are made from a blend of polyester and spandex that wicks away moisture and dries quickly. They also feature a built-in mesh brief (hence the name “2-in-1”) for cooling and support. Best of all, they’re very lightweight, so you can move freely.
These knee-length shorts have two side pockets and a zippered back pocket for your phone, as well as an elastic waistband with drawstring for a secure fit.
These Baleaf shorts are available in a wide range of colors, from warm reds, oranges, and yellows to cool blues, greens, and purples, as well as neutral blacks, grays, and whites. They also feature a reflective stripe so you’ll be visible even on a midnight run on the road.
The Laureate Ultra Light 5″ 2-in-1 Shorts are available for only $22 in sizes S through 3XL.
Who Is Baleaf For?
Anyone who plays sports or enjoys exercising outdoors or indoors can benefit from high-quality clothing at a good price.
Baleaf clothing has been deliberately designed so that it can be worn by 99% of all active people. Whether you are currently focused on one activity (but may want to add others), are looking for an affordable way to build a wardrobe for all your active hobbies, or want to take multiple classes without having to change between workouts, Baleaf offers comfortable, affordable clothing that you can use.
Baleaf clothing is ideal for customers who prefer to devote their energy to their activity—rather than to getting dressed or shopping! They are looking for functional, attractive, high-quality clothing that is ready to go at any time.
Baleaf clothing is also great for customers whose sizes are often not catered for in conventional sportswear. The brand manufactures its clothing in sizes XS to 3XL and in “tall,” “extra tall,” and “petite” cuts.
