Gaaha designs performance apparel for sports brands - running, golf, training, team and protective gear - where every panel, vent and pocket has a functional reason and is documented for manufacture.

The basics
Design that starts with the sport
Performance apparel is designed around what the athlete does: a golfer’s swing, a runner’s heat and sweat, a rider’s impact zones. We start by defining those requirements, then translate them into construction - ventilation, articulated panels, liners, reflective and protective elements - that a factory can reproduce consistently.
What we design
Two-layer running and training shorts
Golf dresses, polos and skorts
Performance tees
Soccer and team hoodies
Running caps
Protective riding apparel
01Functional requirements
Define what it must do.
We turn the sport’s demands into a feature brief - ventilation, mobility, protection, storage, liners - before any drawing starts.
What you receive
Performance feature brief
Material approach
Silhouette and mobility notes
02Engineered construction
Build the function in.
Articulated panels, vents, concealed pockets, armor placement and bonded details, drawn and specified so function survives production.
What you receive
Technical flats
Feature and protection detail
Construction specification
Bill of materials
03Fit & visualization
See it before sampling.
Graded measurement specs plus 3D renders and color CADs, so you can approve the product - and start marketing it - before the first sample arrives.
Running, training and golf apparel, team wear such as soccer hoodies, headwear like running caps, and protective riding apparel. See our case studies for performance shorts, a golf dress, a motorcycle hoodie and a Kickstarter-validated running cap.
Can you provide 3D renders for pre-launch marketing?
Yes. We produce 3D renders and color CADs so you can validate designs, pre-sell or crowdfund before production - the Matofa running cap campaign reached nearly 8x its Kickstarter goal.
How long does a tech pack take?
A complete tech pack typically takes 10–15 working days and fashion flats take 5–10 working days, depending on the complexity of the garment and the clarity of the design brief. We confirm the timeline before work starts.
How much does it cost?
Every project is quoted individually. The quote is based on your brief, the actual scope of work and how urgently you need it, and is clearly communicated and agreed before any work begins - no surprises.
Do you work with US brands?
Yes - most of our clients are US-based founders and brands. We work remotely in English, write measurements in inches (or centimeters if your factory prefers), and deliver tech packs any factory worldwide can build from. We work with brands all across the globe.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. We sign NDAs before you share design details, and we never publish client names or unreleased products without your permission.
How quickly do you reply to enquiries?
Within one working day. Tell us what you are building and we will come back with questions and the most useful next step.
Can you help find a manufacturer?
Yes. Beyond design and tech packs we introduce vetted factory partners matched to your category and MOQ, coordinate sampling and validate samples against the spec.
