fabric of sportswear

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.

The key role of fabric choice in performance 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.
