Why is sportswear made of polyester fabric?

In today’s fitness-conscious world, we tend to take more time and energy for ourselves, giving fitness and sports a priority for personal growth, mental calmness, fun, and physical stability. We are particular about what sports or fitness measures we are taking, but also what clothes we are wearing, from material to quality to colours to their properties. We do not wish to have anything like chalk and cheese; we want to have a perfect outfit for any particular choice of sports/activities.

We believe that Polyester is well suited for sportswear, and here are a few reasons why Polyester is used for sportswear.

1. Polyesters are durable.

The molecular structure of polyester is commendable. Polyethylene Terephthalate [PET] has alternate aliphatic and aromatic compounds which makes the fibre more durable and flexible. Moreover, Polyester is often blended with Lycra elastane fibres to enhance its elastic properties. Clothes made of polyester don’t tear up quickly and can take on strong forces while coming out without a scratch. It is a robust and sturdy fibre that can effortlessly resist solid and repetitive movements. It is also breathable and lightweight. Moreover, if the cloth is made out of polyester, it has the tendency to retain its colour and not fade quickly.

2. Keeps the structure intact

Polyester is a type of fibre that will not lose its shape, unlike other fabrics that tend to flatten out over time. Polyester is often used in sportswear because of its high resistance and longevity. It is a super soft and flexible material that provides ease and comfort while exercising, hence it also falls under the wrinkle-resistant property.

3. Wicking Nature of the fibre

“Wicking” means the ability through which sweat is transferred from the body and evaporates quickly. Polyester is a hydrophobic fibre which has a moisture regain of 0.4 %. Because of its low value, the fibre won’t absorb or hold any water molecules. Thus, the sweat generated by our body would not be absorbed by the clothing, which prevents clothing from sticking to our body. However, cotton absorbs sweat and the same will be retained in the garment, thereby making it heavy and unpleasant. Therefore, polyester has a quick-drying property that makes it preferable for sportswear.
