What Characteristics Should the Fabric of Sportswear Have?

In modern times, the sportswear market is flooded with a variety of garments suitable for various sports activities and environments. So it's natural to get overwhelmed when trying to choose the best fabric for your sportswear embroidery project.

So, what do we look for in performance sports apparel? What characteristics should the fabric of sportswear have? Take a look at some of the biggest considerations:

Design - When choosing a material for embroidery, its ability to hold the embroidery stitch is a key factor. Otherwise, some designs will not be possible. Furthermore, sportswear doubles as a fashion statement, especially in this age of sports branding - so how the material performs in terms of appearance and aesthetics is an important consideration.

Comfort - When you're exercising, the last thing you want is your clothes to be uncomfortable. It distracts you and takes you out of the area. You want something that's soft but stretchy and stretch-resistant for full mobility when engaging in strenuous activities.

Weight and durability - Functional garments must be resistant to wear as the material is subject to a lot of stress during sports and physical activity. The weight of your clothes is also very important because, in many sports, every ounce you wear unnecessarily robs you of energy and worsens performance and results. 

Moisture regulation - Functional sportswear must be breathable in order to transport moisture such as sweat from the body to the outside of the material without problems. If clothing doesn't do this, anyone wearing it can quickly become too hot or too cold, which can lead to injuries such as muscle strains and cramps.

Weather protection - With the advent of waterproof and windproof materials, this has become an even more important feature. In some climates, this has to be near the top of the list, as unprotected conditions 

Price - Of course, the price of the material is always the most important. If something costs significantly more than its competitors, it has to perform better or have a unique selling point that makes it more appealing when making activewear. Especially in today's buyer economy where consumers have all the power and profits are constantly being squeezed.
