We often say that fabric is the key of a garment, so how do we look at the fabric composition when making or choosing sportswear?
# Cotton cloth is easy to deform, if you wear pure cotton clothing exercise with fierce movements once or twice, the shape of a garment is not durable ,meanwhile the cotton garment is good in water absorption but not easy to dry
# Polyester is a poly cool fiber, with high strength and elastic recovery speciality , so it is fast and durable, wrinkle-resistant and easy-iron, the fabric is crisp, but easy to static electricity and hair balls.
#Nylon, also known as nylon fiber fabric, is known for its intentional wear resistance, is the main fabric component of many sports tights, with its excellent wear resistance, light texture, high elasticity, strength and wear resistance. Spandex, also known as elastic fiber, has very high elasticity, can be stretched 5-8 times, and is not easy to aging and degeneration. Spandex can not be used as a fabric piece alone, and is usually blended with nylon or polyester. The famous “Lycra fiber” is a kind of spandex.
Generally speaking, the higher the spandex content, the less easily the fabric is deformed and the more wrapped. A higher proportion of elastic fiber is more durable, strong elastic , comfy and sweat wicking .
[Fabric mixed composition ] The above list of some common fabric matching, the fabric ratio is slightly different, for example, 81% nylon and 19% spandex or 24% nylon and 76% spandex.
In the current market , one of the most recommended ratio is 2080 and 2575 .
The ratio of 8020 is more common in low-intensity exercise products, such as yoga, walking, archery, Pilates and other sports scenes.
The ratio of 2575 can satisfy medium and high intensity exercise, with better resilience and wrapping sense, which help to build the shape more effectively during exercise.
Why do fabrics with the same composition feel very differently ?
The fabric composition only determines the characteristics of the fabric, the wearing experience will be affected by the thickness of the product, the workmanship process (such as the grinding process), the quality of the yarn and so on. For example, spandex mainly has single 6 and double 6 yarns, double 6 yarns with abnormal fibers enhances the moisture absorption and sweating function ,fluffy-softness ，and color is more light.
