When you browse around the market, you can find multiple ranges of clothing items for all sorts of sports activities. But the key to finding the right choice of sports apparel should be whether it is able to withstand immense stress and strains. This means it should be made from high-quality materials.
So, which material is best for you?
Well, it depends upon your priority –sweat absorption, or heat protection, or wind resistance.
Here are the 5 top materials for your sports uniform needs:
Cotton Blends
Sports uniform made from cotton blends has the ability to wick away sweat readily and provide you maximum flexibility. It is also durable and stronger and a more cost-effective selection, which is why cotton blends are popular among garment manufacturers. Such fabrics are easy to maintain and do not shrink much like pure cotton do.
Miracle Microfiber
Miracle microfiber is one of the highly durable synthetic fabrics that is gaining popularity in sportswear. This synthetic material is usually constructed of nylon or polyesters or both. This long-lasting material can easily wick away moisture and retains its shape for a long time than other fabrics do.
Spandex
Spandex, also known as lycra or elastane, is a stretchable material that can stretch more than 500% its original size, without any damage. Spandex blend fabrics are a popular choice for sportswear because it provides flexibility, maximum comfort, and is durable. It is an ideal fabric choice for workout garments and other close-fitting active wear, like leggings and cycling gears like BMX Shirts. It is highly handy, lightweight, and fast drying.
Calico
Calico is a natural material made from half-processed and unbleached cotton fibres. This soft, breathable fabric is extremely absorbent and environment-friendly. Because calicos are sturdy and durable, it is the choice of many athletes who play in the harsh heat and prickly summer bay.
Mesh Polyester
Polyester is the most common fibre used in sportswear. It is a loosely woven or knitted fabric, with closely spaced holes. This type of fabric is popular because it withstands higher temperatures due to its higher melting point, and is resistant to most types of solvents. It also allows air to pass through the garment, providing maximum cooling comfort.
Basically, you need to choose such materials for your athletic wear which makes you comfortable and energetic. Avoid clothes that are too tight or too loose, because it simply distracts you from giving your 100%. Such materials also help in determining how well the designs can be sublimated on the sportswear.
