2019 is seeing the launch of Janji’s Cambodia collection, and the first item we tested is pretty dang sweet – the Orbital Singlet H2O Racer.
By doing all the stuff listed above, it’s easy to see that Janji has a commitment to water. Running is probably the great worldwide unifying sport, where any developed, developing, or other country can compete and win. However, as we know, hydration is a necessity, and over 780 million people still lack this across the world today. Janji believe sin the right to clean water and want to do their part to this need. That’s why it’s no surprise that the Orbital Singlet in Midnight has this message emblazoned vertical on the back – “Water is a Human Right” (the floral version does not have this – its color scheme busy enough as it is). That graphic is actually not just a random design – it is directly inspired by the neon signs of Cambodia’s electric night markets.
The singlet itself is unisex, but I can absolutely see this fitting quite well on either females or males. It may be the lightest top I’ve ever worn, due to their stretchy, lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking AFO fabric -otherwise know as AirFlatOut. I mean, it feels like it’s not even there. Add in the bonded seams around the neck and arms and it feels like this thing was just somehow miraculously cut out of a singular piece of fabric. And that means less (if any) chafing opportunities along the way. The back of the top is actually a little wider by design, as the thin fabric lays better across the shoulders so it won’t have the sensation that your sweat is weighing the top down and you have to keep tugging it to keep in place.
I have been absolutely in love with this top over the past few weeks. I have only worn in the gym and on the treadmill, but can’t wait to rock this once the warm weather hits. It’s also an ideal top to take on a relay or “runcation” due to the lack of space and weight it takes up. HIGHLY recommended (and worth the investment with the amazing local work they are doing).
Overall, Janji has nailed it with their new Cambodia collection. The price and quality are definitely there and I am happy to add these to my rotation. You can feel good knowing that 5% of the proceeds from your purchase go back to their selected nonprofit organization to fund clean water projects and they collaborate with local artists in the collection designs.
