    So glad you guys are back in the US! Even with the recent quality issues Virus was always better than other fitness apparel companies and I look forward to stocking up.
    PS. more 5in shorts!

    Why the hate commenters? Welcome back VIRUS, you've been missed. Yes, I had a couple of poor customer service experiences. but over all your product and people were always professional. Thanks for getting things together and good luck moving forward. Desert Dragon Yoga

    My first virus tights are probably 8 years old. 8 years of weightlifting first and CrossFit abuse. I still use them.

    Welcome back, missed you guys! Been buying virus since I started CrossFit in 2014 and no other compression comes close. Also love the color/designs, my favorite is the hunter green! Here’s to more to come! 🎉🍻

    I am so excited that you are back. I have been buying your product for 7-8 years and probably more items than any other single person. At 1 point I had over 30 virus shorts hanging in my closet.
    I would agree that the quality has been going down for the last 3-4 years and look forward to checking out the new releases.

    I truly love my VIRUS Products,…you’ve never failed me in delivery, service, or quality. I am super happy that VIRUS is back on its feet. Hey shit happens,..but a community which has the balls to time out, step back, analyze, refocus, and relaunch a better company/community/products proves a hell of a great business model. I’ll stick with VIRUS because of this culture and great products. Looking forward to the new line of gear. As a Trail Runner, your compression shorts simply WORK!!! Keep kickin ass VIRUS.

    Stoked! Stoked! Stoked to hear this news! I recall talking with the female marketing team at Hanohano in San Diego in 2023 about some gear that was no longer available. PLEASE bring beck the “Stay Warm” gear (or the new stay warm technology that was being researched when we talked last). Loved this gear for paddling in cooler weather and getting wet. Welcome back VIRUS.

  • @MythicM14
    @MythicM14 7 місяців тому

    It sucked to hear you all pull from America at the time but I got it. I bought most of my gear from you all in 2016 for Spartan Racing and I only saw stitching issues in 2021 after MULTIPLE wears and races beating them up. Hell the thermal compression kept me from hypothermia in the world championship race. So happy you all are still around and making more.

    Loveee that y’all are back in the US. I hope you’ll be brining back the ranked rash-guards as those are and will always be my absolute favorites. I’ve owned every color in rank through to brown belt. And the black high waisted contour leggings!

    I'm very happy to hear this news! I've been wearing Virus since the start. Before the shipping had any cool graphics designs haha loved to see the growth. I miss the black and white tanks. I still have all my original gear. Stay warm. Stay cool series, and all the T-shirts. I don't wear anything besides Virus in the gym. Lol

    @scoobiesnatches 7 місяців тому

    Glad to see you’re back. A lot of the lifters at my gym lamented when the shop closed down in the US.
    Also, please bring back the Iconx Joggers but with a reinforced inseam/crotch area. A lot of the lifters (including me) loved those but the crotch can area where thighs rub would wear through too quickly.

    So glad you are back. My son got his first singlet from y’all before you closed and he’s growing and will probably need to get another one before the year is out. Plus he wants more of your gear so we are looking forward to being able to shop VIRUS again.

    I didn’t ever experience anything negative from the brand. I love Virus, I have ordered multiple spats for bjj and running. Love the designs and durability. So I’m stoked for the return. Hopefully the men’s spats stay within the same style, color pattern.

  • @fitclub856
    @fitclub856 7 місяців тому

    Was really sad you went away... and also that I didn't take advantage of the blowout deals :(
    I have been wearing VIRUS gears ONLY for so long now (since your partneship with Muscle Pharm Apparel) and have disposed of NONE of my garnments. They last forever. Absolutely love the IconX and EcoCloud Tech. Bring It On!

    Glad you're back, because I love your products! And, hopefully, no weird religious emails and lateral website pages from non-team players this time? I'm not looking to join a cult.

    • @scQue
      @scQue 7 місяців тому

      Also, if you're going to do smaller runs of each product... please produce more of the most-ordered sizes. Very frustrating to go to a site and only find size XXL and XS and nothing in between.

    I am excited for revamped shirts. The older models smell so bad despite meticulous cleaning, so I’m looking forward to ‘odor protection’ technology.

    I’m glad you had such a great year in 2023. Unfortunately you kind of left your US customers hanging. I tried to purchase from you out of Europe but the shipping cost were just way too high. I am looking forward to seeing what the new lines consist of however, you will have to earn my business back.

    • @virusintl
      @virusintl  7 місяців тому

      That's understandable Matt, moving forward, we are going to be hard pressed to make sure the small details of everything such as customer service are better than they were before. Hopefully, we do have a chance to earn your business back, until then, we wish you the best of luck in your weightlifting career!
