What material is best for activewear?
The majority of all activewear will have an elastane fabric blend to ensure movability.
This is usually teamed with polyester which works perfectly for gym wear.
Perks of polyester fabric include it being lightweight, durable and non-absorbent meaning the moisture from your skin will evaporate rather than being drawn into the material.
