The following points should be noted when choosing sportswear fabrics:
1. Sports type: Choose the right fabric according to different sports types. Such as outdoor sports with high wear resistance requirements can choose polyester or nylon fabrics, and sports that need soft and breathable can choose cotton or spandex fabrics.
2. Breathability: The body is prone to sweating during exercise, and the breathable fabric can help the sweat to evaporate quickly, keeping the body dry and comfortable. Fabrics with poor air permeability tend to make the body uncomfortable.
3. Hygroscopicity: During exercise, the body will produce a lot of sweat. Choose fabrics with good hygroscopic properties, which can quickly absorb sweat and disperse it, reducing the feeling of sticky clothing.
4. Flexibility: A variety of actions are needed when exercising, and the choice of fabrics with good elasticity can provide better freedom of activity and comfort.
5. Wear resistance: Some sports may have contact with the ground or other objects, choosing fabrics with good wear resistance can extend the service life of the clothing.
6. Cleaning and drying performance: sportswear needs to be cleaned during use, and choosing fabrics that are easy to clean and dry can improve the ease of use.
7. Textural comfort: Textural comfort affects the exercise experience. Choose soft, smooth fabrics to provide greater comfort.
When choosing sportswear fabrics, the above factors can be considered according to different sports needs and personal preferences.
