4 Tips of choosing comfortable sportswear

Choosing sustainable suitable sportswear doesn't have to be a headache. It's about asking the right questions and making smart, simple changes.

Here are some practical tips to get you started: 

I. Fabric Material Selection (Top Priority)‌

‌‌Avoid pure cotton fabrics‌: Cotton absorbs sweat but dries slowly, causing a clammy sensation during exercise‌; in summer, it feels like wrapping in a wet towel. Opt for moisture-wicking quick-dry fabrics (e.g., nylon/polyester + spandex blends).
‌‌

Focus on blend ratios‌:

· ‌Nylon content ≥78%‌: Enhances skin-friendliness and softness while maintaining elasticity.

· ‌Spandex (Lycra) 10%-20%‌: Provides moderate stretch, prevents restriction, and supports high-intensity movements.
‌‌Functional fabrics for special needs‌:

· High-temperature environments: Choose "cooling technology" fabrics (cooling coefficient ≥1.6× national standard).

· Outdoor sports: Prioritize UV-protective materials (UPF50+) or wind/water-resistant outer layers.

‌II. Fit and Cut Adaptation‌

‌‌

Select fit based on activity‌:

· ‌High-intensity‌ (running, ball sports): Slim-fit reduces wind resistance; compression design supports muscles.

· ‌Low-intensity‌ (yoga, hiking): Loose-fit ensures joint mobility and minimizes chafing.
‌‌

Key design features‌:

· High-waisted pants prevent slipping; elastic cuffs avoid tripping.

· Sports bras should match support level to activity intensity (low/medium/high).

‌III. Practical Purchasing Tips‌

‌‌

Try-on verification‌:

· Test range of motion for pinching/looseness; ensure no pressure in armpits or waist.

· Avoid designs with excessive seams to reduce friction.
‌‌

Layering for temperature shifts‌:

· Base: Moisture-wicking (synthetic) + Mid: Insulation (fleece) + Outer: Windproof (breathable).
‌‌

Prioritize return-shipping insurance‌:

· Simplify returns for ill-fitting items and reduce trial costs.

‌

IV. Care and Safety Tips‌

‌‌

Change wet clothes promptly‌: Replace within 30 minutes post-exercise to prevent chills or skin issues.
‌‌

Proper washing‌:

· Use gentle machine cycle, wash inside-out to protect elastic fibers, and ‌avoid fabric softeners‌.
