ProLaps



"You want to take up sports? Maybe you just like hanging out at the mall. Either way, you need expensive designer sports wear. And there is no better than ProLaps. Unless you like Eris more, but that is a matter of taste, for people with no taste."

- GTA San Andreas Website

ProLaps is a sportswear and sport equipment manufacturer which appears in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V.

Description
ProLaps stores in San Andreas are accessible to the player, however they're inaccessible in GTA IV. It is based on the real-life clothing brand Reebok. The company's slogan is "Train Hard". On many billboards in San Andreas, an "S" is spray-painted in front of the 'Train' making the motto "Strain Hard".

The owner of the store in GTA San Andreas is implied to be a homosexual. This is apparent based on the comments he gives the player such as, "You're welcome anytime, honey buns" or "We have a wide range of thongs, too".

In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, the Biker gang members in a couple of missions are seen wearing t-shirts with the ProLaps logo on them and an advertising billboard for the store is in Chinatown, Portland.

In Grand Theft Auto IV, ProLaps still exists though is not interactive to the player as a store; the game's rendition of ProLaps is depicted during The Ballad of Gay Tony with an expanded product line, including fighting gloves (as seen in Momma's Boy), parachutes, and golf carts. In The Lost and Damned, ProLaps appears on a banner in the basement of the Angels of Death HQ in the mission Action/Reaction. In all three IV titles several pedestrians can be seen wearing ski jackets manufactured by ProLaps.
