FlyQuest's 'Women’s Flightwear' apparel line is female-focused and features activewear that is both comfortable and modern. The line consists of graphic tees, leggings, sports bras, crop tops and baseball tees and aims to fill a gap within the predominantly male-dominated eSports industry. While many eSports merchandise lines are geared toward male gamers, this female-focused collection offers versatile and wearable garments that consumers can wear both to the gym and on a casual day out.
Owning teams in popular games like Fortnite and League of Legends, FlyQuest aims to empower women both with its clothing line and partnership with Women for Women International. The brand's COO Tricia Sugita recently announced that FlyQuest "will support 5 women in a yearlong training. The training will teach them different skills and help raise awareness about their rights" alongside the charitable organization.
