Japanese Big & Tall Clothing for Men

An Introduction to Phiten: Revolutionary Sports & Lifestyle Wear


For big and tall men who like to stay active, looking after your heftier frame while playing sports or exercising can at times become a bit of a pain—literally. On top of dealing with unsightly bouts of excessive sweat, the pressure on your joints is often the gateway to inflammation or other injuries that could have otherwise been avoided.

Phiten, a Japanese sports and wellness brand that was founded in 1983, looks to not only combat these common calamities particularly faced by big and tall sportsmen, but also support and improve the body’s overall power and wellbeing through their broad range of sports and lifestyle products.

What Makes Phiten Unique?

Phiten’s offering of T-shirts, shorts, socks, tights, and more are all produced with high-quality materials that are both lightweight and quick-drying, but the main selling point of their products is the inclusion of their patented AQUA-METALS technology. The most common, AQUA TITAN, is microscopic titanium that is embedded into the items fabric for the purpose of enhancing the wearer’s performance.

Researchers have shown that by wearing clothing or accessories infused with AQUA METAL technology, users are said to experience a heightened sense of relaxation and regeneration, making Phiten products ideal for use both during and after sports or exercise to maintain a steady mind and boost the healing of muscles, joints, and ligaments.
