INKnBURN’s Robot Capris are handcrafted in the USA. The waistband can be worn up or rolled down to reveal art that complements the rest of the design. With great stretch and quality
construction, Robot Capris also feature a thigh pocket to hold your phone or keys. Art is applied before sewing so each panel is treated like a canvas. INKnBURN’s unique construction
means you can’t feel the design and it stays vivid and vibrant over time. The stretch fabric wicks away moisture to keep you cool and dry as you work out.
