Activewear

Activewear fabrics are known for their durability, wicking resistance, and comfort properties, offering breathability and comfort to wearers. To integrate these features into garments, designers typically opt for tricots, interlocks, jerseys, mesh, and double-knit fabrics made from polyester or nylon materials, often blended with spandex and available in recycled versions.

The fabric you choose depends on the type of activewear you want to create. For example, interlock and jersey will be perfect for leggings and sports tops, and mesh can be used as paneling on sports garments to provide breathability. 

Key Features of Quality Activewear Fabrics:

• Moisture-Wicking: Draws sweat away from the skin, keeping the wearer dry during workouts or competitions.
• Breathability: Regulates body temperature during intense activities.
• Durability: Capable of withstanding frequent washes and rigorous activities.
• Compression: Supports muscles, boosting stretch performance and aiding recovery.
