We want to be straight with you rather than make claims we can't back up. Fitera Sport is a small online retailer, not a manufacturer, so here is honestly where we are.
What we do today
-
We prioritise durability. Replacing kit that wears out early has an environmental cost, so we remove products from the range if they fail early.
-
We don't hold large stock. Products are ordered from our suppliers when you order, so there's no warehouse of unsold stock to be discounted or thrown away.
What we're working on
- Getting clearer material information from suppliers so we can publish it on product pages.
- Reducing split shipments, so one order arrives as one parcel more often.
What we're not claiming
We're not carbon neutral, we don't hold environmental certifications, and we don't describe our products as "eco-friendly" or "sustainable" unless a supplier can evidence it. If we ever earn those claims, we'll say so and show the evidence.
Helping your kit last
- Wipe down equipment after sweaty sessions. Salt degrades foam, fabric and metal.
- Store resistance bands away from direct sunlight and heat, which makes rubber brittle.
- Air apparel before storing it, and wash it cool to protect elastic fibres.
- Check straps, seams and fastenings now and then, and stop using anything showing wear.
If something fails earlier than it should, tell us. You're covered by your statutory rights, and it tells us to stop stocking it.
