Meet our Naste team.
Created by active people for active people.
At Nonaste, we run, bike, swim, do yoga and have (smelly) kids who play sports. So basically, our lives stink! Because we like to sweat it out, our gear is full of sweat, funk, germs, and, you guessed it, stench. On the bright side, the "grossness" associated with our chosen activities served as motivation to create a best-in-industry line of products to help other active lifestyle enthusiasts live stink-free, germ-free lives.
