Plenty of fabrics to choose from when ordering sports apparel in Australia.
We customise apparel for a lot of sports and are often asked what is the best material. While some materials do work best for some sports, you really can’t go wrong with most of the popular materials in the current sport apparel landscape. All sport fabrics are designed to be durable while allowing maximum circulation of air and quick drying of perspiration, also called “wicking.”
Here are some general guidelines.
Medium Weight Polyester
Benefits: resistant to ripping, close-fitting due to stretch characteristics, excellent wicking, dries fast when laundered and fade resistant.
Common uses: contact sports such as rugby, AFL and cricket due to sliding.
Sports Mesh
Benefits: Great ventilation to promote airflow and wicking to get rid of perspiration, quick dry “wash and wear,” resistant to fading, good protection from sun.
Common uses: polos, t-shirts, shorts and singlets.
Lycra
Benefits: molds to body, light weight, low friction, fade resistant.
Uses: bicycling netball, sport singlets.
Extra Life Lycra
Benefits: extremely long-lasting, forms to body most efficiently of any material, extremely low friction, protection from UV rays, great breathability, quick drying.
Uses: Gameday clothing, compression garments, high-performance sports.
Polyester Microfibre
Benefits: extremely light weight, great ventilation and air circulation, soft feel, quick wash and dry, resistant to fading.
