Clothing for fitness has long stood out in a separate line with a wide range. But if you are a beginner and have not yet decided which kind of material in sportswear suits you, SNO is here to guide you;
Fabrics For Sportswear
The modern market offers so many natural and specialized synthetic materials that it is difficult for the buyer to navigate among several characteristics.
Here we’ll guide you on different kinds of fabric used in sportswear.
Natural Cotton Or Quality Synthetics?
There is an opinion that top fabric for sportswear is natural cotton because it is pleasant to touch, breathable, and has a hypoallergenic effect. But for active physical exertion, such clothes are hardly suitable. Cotton is very hygroscopic; after 10-15 minutes of intensive training, it will be completely saturated with sweat.
To level out such shortcomings, most of the fabrics for sportswear are made with the addition of synthetic fibers:
Polyester
It does not absorb moisture, does not wrinkle, and dries quickly.
Elastane (lycra)
Elastane gives the fabric resilience, elasticity, and fade resistance. The addition of Lycra fibers increases the wear resistance of sportswear. Lycra fabrics do not restrict movement. They can stretch 4-5 times and instantly return to their original shape.
Nylon
Nylon has very high wear resistance. This garment is made from a nylon weave and keeps an attractive look during the most intense workouts. Nylon does not wrinkle and dries quickly.
Polyamide
Clothing made of polyamide fabrics attracts with its relatively low price and good wear resistance. It is pleasant to the touch, easily breathable, does not fade in the sun, and can withstand more than 200 washes.
The New Fabric In Sportswear
Special requirements are placed on modern sportswear fabrics, making them wear-resistant, wrinkle-resistant, and breathable.
Supplex
Cotton provides good breathability, polyester protects the creasing, and elastane fibers help maintain shape. But Supplex's high elasticity tops all. The composition of this fabric may include polyamide, lycra, and nylon. Supplex is used for sewing sportswear, gymnastic, and circus tights. The fabric stretches well and easily restores its original shape.
Stretch Cooler
Knitted cotton fabric with lycra threads woven into it. This material has hypoallergenic properties and is pleasant to the touch. Stretch cooler clothing does not lose color and shape with intensive use.
Stretch Cotton
Moderately dense cotton fabric with the addition of elastane fibers. Suits made of stretch cotton have sufficient elasticity and high strength, are easy to wash, and almost do not wrinkle. In addition to the usual tracksuit fabrics, specialized materials with specified properties provide comfort when mountaineering, diving, or doing sports activities.
Thermobiflex
Made from polyester, elastane, and polyamide fibers. It stretches well in all directions, follows the body's contours, and reliably protects from the cold. Suitable for figure skating, clothes for climbers and skiers.
Diving
The fabric was developed specifically for underwater sports - clothes made of it are very close to the body and are ideal as linen under a wetsuit. Diving consists of a mixture of artificial and synthetic threads. The basis of the fabric is viscose - a fiber made from cellulose (recycled wood).

Wrapping Up
Fabrics for sportswear should provide maximum comfort during wear, be durable and wear-resistant. At the same time, the sportswear material for its intended purpose plays an important role. So, for athletics, yoga, acrobatics, or day-to-day workout, elastic and durable fabrics that are resistant to stretching are preferred. For mountaineering, skiing, and snowboarding, you need suits that retain heat well, with additional moisture protection.
