Gymnastics

Fabrics for gymnastics apparel must offer comfort, flexibility, and resilience to ensure athletes can move freely while also featuring sparkling and dazzling elements to engage the audience.

The essential features of materials for performance wear are:

• High Stretch: Ensures gymnasts optimal flexibility and freedom of movement.
• Durability: Withstands the rigors of training and performance.
• Comfort: Soft against the skin to prevent irritation during routines.
• Breathability: Keeps the body cool and dry.

Gymnastic garments such as leotards, acrobatics costumes, tops, and leggings are typically made from durable materials such as polyester, nylon, and spandex, available in varieties like tricot, jersey, interlock, and stretch velvet.
