Sports Apparel Fabric Basics

Update:30 Jun
Sportswear refers to the clothing worn during exercise, which means that there are more requirements for the performance of the fabric, such as sweat absorption and wear resistance. At present, the proportion of polyester fabric sportswear on the market is larger.
Features that sportswear needs to have:
Quick-drying is an essential feature of sportswear, because people will produce a lot of sweat during exercise. If the sweat cannot evaporate quickly but stay in the clothes, it is likely to cause discomfort or even catch a cold. Cotton sportswear can absorb sweat, but sweat cannot evaporate, so it is not suitable as a raw material for sportswear.
Polyester fabric can just make up for the shortcomings of cotton. Polyester has better air permeability than cotton, so sweat can evaporate quickly, and clothes will not be too "sinking". Moreover, polyester is a chemical synthetic fiber, which will be better than natural fibers such as cotton. Better abrasion resistance, polyester sportswear will last longer than other fabrics.
Sports clothing washing precautions:
Sportswear can be washed by machine. Sportswear made of polyester fabric is more wear-resistant. If there is dirt on the clothes, you can rub it hard, because the clothes are thin and can be dried naturally after washing. Be careful not to soak the clothes for a long time, otherwise it will Causes damage to the fibers, if the garment will fade, be sure to wash it separately.
Common fabrics for sportswear:
1. As mentioned earlier, general sportswear will use polyester fabrics. Of course, some businesses will also use polyester blended with other fibers (cotton and linen), which can diversify the functions of clothing.
2. Although the breathability of cotton fabrics is not as good as that of polyester, many cotton sportswear can still be found in stores, and some well-known brands such as Anta Li Ning and other sportswear use cotton fabrics.
3. Nylon is also often used in the production of sportswear. It was popular a few years ago and was mainly used for the production of sports pants. However, since the popularity of polyester sportswear, the market share of nylon sportswear has become smaller and smaller.
