Fabric guide for sports suits

The manufacturer, shape, cut, combination of elements and, of course, the color of sportswear — all this plays an important role in choosing sportswear.

Just 15 years ago, the concept of "playing sports" included: training in a sports or fitness room, jogging, boxing or swimming. In recent years, the range of types of physical fitness development has expanded significantly. So-called "street sports" appeared. Active, fit young people with universal skills have become fashionable. It has become prestigious to be beautiful and healthy. Eat right, count calories, constantly take care of your internal energy levels. In the spirit of the times, slogans appeared: "Be on sports" and "I'm on a healthy lifestyle."

In parallel with these fresh trends, sportswear has also received a new round of development. A large number of varieties of forms have appeared, which take into account the characteristics of the load and the trajectory of the athlete’s movements.

The manufacturer, shape, cut, combination of elements, and, of course, the color of sportswear—all play a significant role in choosing sportswear. But the most fundamental criterion is the material used to make this essential item of an athlete’s wardrobe. A significant portion of a sportswear manufacturer’s success depends on the fabric they choose.

A conscientious manufacturer, committed to the health and comfort of its customers, will begin their work by first finding suitable materials that meet a comprehensive set of requirements. A fabric sample must be tested for stretch, wrinkle resistance, and deformation, and subjected to heat and steam testing.

All experts agree that, first and foremost, the fabric must meet safety requirements.

Существует масса примеров, когда после первого круга любитель утренней пробежки сходит с дистанции из-за «целлофанового» эффекта своей одежды. Как результат — дискомфорт, недовольство и недополученная нагрузка для спортсмена, такая желаемая и важная для него.

Другое дело, когда материал, наоборот, активно участвует в физиологическом процессе организма и дышит вместе с ним. При возникновении сквозняка надежно защищает спортсмена от воздействия ветра на взмокшее тело, а при активном солнце или нагрузках впитывает излишнюю влагу, при этом быстро испаряя ее излишки.

These fabric properties, called hygroscopicity, are primarily necessary for sportswear. A striking example of such a material is foam cotton — environmentally friendly, breathable and very comfortable to use. So, six years ago, when launching a new production, the Rusich Sport company made its choice in favor of high-quality fabric. Today the brand has a huge number of fans who prefer comfortable and versatile tracksuits made of decent material. In reviews, customers note that such suits are not hot in summer and not cold in winter. They are comfortable for any workout and comfortable at home, on a trip or for a walk.

Speaking of versatility, three years ago, activewear became fashionable. Ties and heels belonged only in the office. The rest of the time, people strive to spend their time in clothes that allow them to rest and relax as quickly as possible. A stroll through a park or a square, frequent commutes, the frantic pace of our lives, and the search for the slightest opportunity to take a break. Thus, athletic shoes and suits have become even more integral to modern life, simultaneously fulfilling the function of activity-style clothing.

Consequently, the list of fabric requirements has expanded.

The pandemic and self-isolation have further secured the first position in the wardrobe for a tracksuit, raising them, of necessity, above jeans. Footers are very popular: one, two and three threads. Products made from this fabric can be seen on almost every person today. The material meets the needs of a comfortable fit to the body, creates coolness or warmth depending on the season, stretches well and, after stretching, quickly restores its original shape, easily tolerates washing without losing color. Therefore, more and more often, in sports products made from fabric of the footer variety, you can see a whole sports family during training or on a hiking trip. Even children like the comfortable properties of such materials.

Looking at our increasingly fast-paced lives, it’s easy to assume that the role of sports and active leisure will continue to grow. Consequently, fabrics will inevitably evolve to improve comfort due to rising consumer demands. Those manufacturers that can most flexibly and quickly adapt to the demands of the times will benefit from a rapid response to these demands.
