Company details
Written by the company
It all started with a simple idea of getting a bunch of athletes together and creating a brand to fit all the Monsters of the fitness industry. We wanted to create clothing that would last through rigorous training and suit strongman and Bodybuilders who like wearing BIG sizes during training. The designs had to be something more too, we wanted to go further then just simple adding our logo to everything, we wanted designs that reflected the mind set, the positive attitude, all with a gritty backdrop of the basic animal instinct to just lift stuff! We started XplosiveApe in April 2014 - and by end of the year we covered all the major strongman markets. We have grown quickly due to our support from you. We are probably one of the only brands who supply all our clothing from Small to 5XL and even 6XL-7XL on requests. XplosiveApe continues to support many major competitions and athletes within the strength world, and with growing success we plan to expand into other areas of fitness and help support and clothe althetes in many different walks of life.

Pants with hole in stitches
Pants with hole in stitches, after first wash half size shorter.
Hoodie baggy shape. Not too impressed to be honest.

We’re really sorry to hear you’re disappointed with your order. That’s certainly not the standard we aim to provide.
A hole in the stitching and noticeable shrinkage after the first wash isn’t something we’d expect, and we understand how frustrating that must be.
Please feel free to contact us directly so we can look into this properly for you. We’re more than happy to review the issue and arrange a suitable resolution.
Thank you for your feedback — it helps us improve our quality control moving forward.

I ordered the dark brown tracksuit
I ordered the dark brown tracksuit, the same design I have previously ordered in grey. Both sizes large however the dark brown jumper is smaller than the grey large and would be better labelled as a medium. Maybe the wrong label was attached from manufacturing but it doesn’t fit

We’re sorry to hear that your dark brown tracksuit doesn’t fit as expected. It sounds like there may have been a sizing inconsistency during manufacturing.
Please contact us to arrange a return or exchange for the correct size. We’ll make sure the replacement matches the sizing you’re used to. Your feedback is appreciated and will help us improve quality control.

Not a fan.
Ordered a tracksuit in a large it was too small, ordered a tracksuit in xl it was way too big. Sizeing is terrible, printing bubbles and peels off, items are not worth the prices. Very disappointed.

Bought 2 tracksuits all sizes are wrong…
Bought 2 tracksuits all sizes are wrong the 2 hoodies are suppose to be 3XL but are a large at best can’t even get it over the shoulders, the joggers are supposed to be a 5xl but came around an XL at bare minimum, sizes can be slightly off but 3-4 sizes smaller is a joke the sellers expect you to pay postage for them to be delivered and then postage again to return wrong sized clothes, they don’t reply to emails unless you comment on socials it’s a shambles of a company , for principle I have forwarded all my info to trading standards as they are just ripping people off!

I’m very sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced with your order — it sounds extremely frustrating, and I completely understand your disappointment. It is never our intention for items to arrive so far from the advertised sizing.

We aim to provide fair service, and your feedback will also be shared with our team to prevent issues like this in the future.

Good prices however the sizing seemed off. Some items came larger and some smaller despite being the same size. I also had to contact the seller for tracking information after a few days as this was not shared.

Awesome company!
Just made a second order with xplosive ape as really love the quality and fit of their clothing! Good designs, range of colours and quality of the prints if great. There's not many places you can get decent cotton t shirts in these sizes and designs for such low prices. Loved the free beanie hat too. Many thanks!

Looked like a great product the first order was nice the cutting on the bottoms were not as expected. My second order of the same sweatshirt in a different colour came smaller despite being the same size. The cuff details at ok. I guess it’s ok for the price

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear your first order was nice overall, but we’re sorry to hear the cut of the bottoms wasn’t as expected and that your second sweatshirt came up smaller despite being the same size.
Occasionally, slight size variations can occur between different colours or batches due to manufacturing tolerances.

Not correct size
Not correct size extremely short for xl especially when advertising as a top suitable for strongman/ gym goers, sizing didn’t match listings either

Reply from Xplosive Ape
We’re really sorry to hear the sizing wasn’t right for you. We understand how frustrating that must be, especially when you were expecting an XL suitable for strongman/gym wear. That’s definitely not the experience we want our customers to have. We do provide size guides on our listings, but we appreciate that fit can still vary depending on body type and style.
Please feel free to reach out to our customer service team so we can look into this properly and arrange a suitable resolution for you. We’re always happy to help with exchanges or returns where needed.
Thank you for your feedback — it helps us improve.
