What the activity actually needs
Compression, swim, next-to-skin training and retro-sport knits are different briefs. A stretch woven with recovery is not a substitute for a mesh, and a cotton jersey is not automatically an activewear cloth.
Look for documented stretch, construction and Best For activewear. If those fields are absent, do not fill them in from a lifestyle photo.
- Name the activity before choosing the cloth.
- Documented stretch beats assumed stretch.
Where to compare on FabStitch
The Performance collection groups technical and next-to-skin constructions. Best For activewear collects fabrics whose applications include that use. Open a fabric, read composition and construction, then send an inquiry with the quantity and the product — for example a legging, a polo or a swim brief.
- Use Performance and Best For activewear together.
- Inquiry notes should name the end product.
Questions this guide answers
- Is every polyester fabric suitable for sport?
- No. Fibre alone does not define activewear. Construction, stretch and finish decide whether a cloth belongs in that brief.
