Find out moreSports fabric is any fabric that is specifically designed to be worn for exercise or as part of a sport's kit. The type of material you choose can affect many factors; the thickness, warmth, durability, style, as well as the way it enhances your performance. Sportswear fabric is technical fabric, in that it has absorb sweat rapidly and move it to the surface where it can evaporate and dry. The idea is that you can wear sports fabric during your activities and remain cool, allowing you to excel. This includes everything from running to swimming.
It's important to find a fabric that is both form fitting to offer support and also stretchy enough so you can move freely without restriction. Wearing loose fitting garments for exercise and sports isn't practical, as you need to be as streamlined as possible, however you could say that basketball jerseys are an exception. Aside from exercise, sportswear is also a fashion in itself, consisting of tracksuits, jackets and hoodies that can be worn as everyday apparel. Thicker, more textured jerseys, like the Diamond Jersey or Quilted Stretch Jersey are great for outerwear or a more warming top in colder climates.

Combining polyester with other materials like elastane or cotton, give each sportswear fabric a distinct handle.

All sports materials are breathable, however due to the individual manufacturing processes, this will vary slightly between them.
Because there are so many different choices when it comes to sportswear fabric, there are also many properties associated with them. Here are just a few favourites:
