8a Performance, a premier Filipino sports apparel brand founded by Kagay-anon professional rock climber Arman “Maman” Salada, has just opened on the 2nd level of Ayala Malls Centrio in Cagayan de Oro City. Among its best-sellers are the Epic Pants, Enduro Bike Shorts, Impact Tactical Pants, and Rushmore Jackets, all praised for their comfort, durability, and high performance. Opening day shoppers enjoyed a 20% discount on selected items.
8a Performance was born out of a need for high-quality, affordable sportswear. Maman’s journey through local and international climbing competitions highlighted the scarcity of cost-effective, comfortable sports apparel, motivating him to create a brand that caters to the needs of athletes like himself. Named after the ‘8a’ grade in sport climbing, which signifies advanced performance, 8a Performance embodies the spirit of pushing beyond limits and achieving excellence.
8a Performance prides itself on offering:
- Top Quality: Gear that meets the highest standards for any adventure.
- Affordability: Making premium sportswear accessible without breaking the bank.
- Durability: Products built to withstand the toughest conditions.
“We’re not just a local brand; we compete globally,” asserts founder Maman Salada. “Our products are meticulously crafted to offer world-class performance—Use your gift. Master your craft—enabling athletes to #BreatheAdventure and #GetActive with confidence.”
With a mission to provide high-quality, affordable sports gear to Filipinos, 8a Performance aims to become the leading sports apparel brand in the country. The brand’s core values—God-fearing, direct and intentional communication, honesty and fair play, integrity, optimism, rationality, and continuous improvement—guide its commitment to excellence in product experience and customer service.
