Sports fabrics are fabrics that are specifically used to make sportswear and have a range of advantages and disadvantages. The following is a detailed explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of sports fabrics.
Advantages:
Strong air permeability: Sports fabrics are usually made of fiber materials with good air permeability, so that the skin can reveal sweat and moisture, and maintain a dry and comfortable state. This is important for sweating and maintaining body temperature balance during exercise.
Good hygroscopic: Sports fabrics often use materials with good hygroscopic properties, which can quickly absorb sweat on the surface of the skin, reduce the impact of moisture on the body, and also keep the body dry.
Fast drying: Due to sweat during exercise, sports fabrics have fast drying, which can quickly transfer sweat from the surface of the fabric to the inside of the fabric, accelerate water evaporation, so that the fabric can dry quickly and reduce discomfort.
Good elasticity: Sports fabrics are usually made of elastic fiber materials, with good stretchability and elasticity, which can provide enough comfort and flexibility to adapt to various actions during sports.
Strong wear resistance: Sports fabrics need to withstand frequent friction and pulling, so wear resistance is one of its important qualities. Sports fabrics are usually made of fiber materials with better wear resistance and can withstand the test of long-term movement.
Good antibacterial: due to the easy production of sweat and moisture during exercise, it is easy to breed bacteria, resulting in body odor and other problems. Sports fabrics are usually treated with antibacterial technology, which can inhibit bacterial growth, reduce odor production, and keep the fabric clean and sanitary.
Lightweight: Sports fabrics are usually made of lightweight materials, which can reduce the burden of the wearer, increase the comfort of wearing, and will not limit the range of activity during exercise.
Cons:
High price: Because sports fabrics need to have a variety of functions such as air permeability, moisture absorption, fast drying, elasticity, etc., the production cost is relatively high, so the price is also high.
Relatively few color choices: Because sports fabrics mainly focus on its functionality, pay attention to breathability, moisture absorption and other characteristics, so the color choice is relatively less, generally simple and practical.
Relatively low durability: Although the sports fabric has a certain wear resistance, due to friction and pulling during the movement, the durability of the fabric is relatively low, and it is prone to wear and damage.
Limited UV protection: Sports fabrics usually do not have good UV protection and are vulnerable to UV damage. Therefore, it is necessary to take additional UV protection measures when exercising outdoors for a long time.
