We talk about the cuts, colors and logos that make our favorite sportswear special when we talk about sports clothes. But what about those sportswear fabrics? The type of materials used to produce sportswear, unlike any other category of clothing, is essential to the way we feel and how efficiently we can perform our training or sports activities.
Historically, sportswear was created from simple fabrics such as cotton and wool. These were comfortable fabrics, but when athletes were working hard, they didn't always keep them dry and cool. As sports and technology improved, so did the fabrics used in sportswear.
A kind of watershed moment in fabric technology was the invention of synthetic materials like polyester and nylon, which first appeared in the 1940s. These fabrics are lightweight and durable and wick sweat from the body. Athletes can stay dry and comfortable with this moisture wicking material through tough workouts or a tough game.
The fabric used in performance sportswear may seem mundane, but it is very valuable to exercise. The right material can help an athlete perform better during practice or competition. Stretchy fabrics such as spandex or similar materials are usually common in performance-specific sportswear as they allow the athlete to move freely without feeling restrictive in any movement.
In sportswear, blended fabrics have recently seen increased prevalence. Well, those blends combine various materials to make some excellent fabrics. So a blend of polyester and spandex can provide the stretchiness of spandex along with the moisture-wicking power of polyester.
Sunfeng's moisture-wicking sportswear is crafted with quality fabrics that will not only keep athletes comfortable, but also help them do better. Sunfeng's sportswear will support you every step of the way, whether you are running a marathon or going to the gym.
There has been increased scrutiny on sportswear as well, in terms of sustainability in recent years. Now, Sunfeng has jumped on the bandwagon by using sustainable fabrics, such as recycled polyester and organic cotton, in its sportswear collections. Such materials are more planet-friendly as well as healthier for the athletes who wear them.
