Nowadays, sports are closely related to our healthy life, and sportswear is a must for our home life and outdoor. Of course, all kinds of professional sports fabrics, functional fabrics and technical fabrics are born for it.
What kind of fabrics are generally used for sportswear? What kinds of sportswear fabrics are there?
Actually,the polyester is most common fibre uesd in active or sportswear cloths. Other fibres are used for active wear cloth like cotton, cotton-polyester, nylon-spandex, polyester- spandex, polypropylene and wool blend.
Since humans began to pay attention to sports, but at the same time, clothing fabrics have affected the normal performance of athletes, so people have begun to explore, develop, and research new fabrics to minimize the influence until it can be ignored, and continue to expand and make progress, nylon fibers, artificial polyester The emergence of high-molecular polymers has sounded the horn of formal change in clothing fabrics. Compared with the traditional nylon, it has great advantages in reducing weight. The jacket made of nylon and the lining of artificial polyester have a good thermal insulation effect. Therefore, sportswear began to use chemical fibers to replace natural fibers, and gradually became the mainstream. The early nylon clothing had many defects, such as non-wearability, poor air permeability, easy deformation, and easy pulling and cracking. Then people researched new materials while improving nylon, and many new materials and synthetics have been born. At present, there are the following high-tech fibers in the field of sportswear:
It has properties far superior to earlier nylons.It is stretchy, quick-drying, and mildew resistant. It’s also incredibly breathable. The fabric allows cool air to reach the skin and also wicks sweat from your skin to the fabric’s surface, where it can evaporate safely – leaving you comfortable and temperature controlled.
2) PTFE waterproof and temperature permeable laminated fabric
This fiber type is becoming a big selling point in the market. The cross-section of this fiber is a unique flat cross shape, forming a four-slot design, which can discharge sweat more quickly and volatilize. It is called a fiber with an advanced cooling system. It is worth mentioning that the Chinese Table Tennis Corps won the gold medal in Sydney, wearing clothes woven from Coolmax fibers.

It is also a material we are very familiar with. Its application has long exceeded the scope of sportswear, but it is an indispensable material in sportswear. This man-made elastic fiber, its anti-pulling properties and the smoothness after being woven into clothing, its closeness to the body, and its great stretchability are all ideal sports elements. The tights and one-piece sportswear worn by athletes All contain Lycra ingredients, and it is precisely because of the use of Lycra that some sportswear companies have proposed the concept of "energy maintenance"
5)Pure cotton
Pure cotton is not easy to absorb sweat. With your polyester cloth and a pure cotton cloth, you will find that the polyester cloth can easily dry anyone, and the polyester is very breathable; The only advantage of cotton is that it has no chemicals and will not cause damage to the skin, but with the development of science, polyester products are also environmentally friendly and have no side effects on the skin.
