Nylon activewear fabric
Nylon blends are often chosen for a smoother hand feel, premium touch and good stretch recovery. Many mid-to-high-end leggings and yoga sets use nylon and spandex blends.
Polyester activewear fabric
Polyester is widely used for printed leggings, training tops, quick-dry products and cost-controlled collections. It performs well for sublimation printing and color consistency.
Spandex ratio matters
Spandex affects stretch and recovery. Too little can feel restrictive, while too much may affect stability and cost. The right ratio depends on support level and garment type.
GSM and opacity
GSM is not the only quality signal, but it helps estimate thickness and coverage. Leggings usually need enough opacity for squat-proof performance, while tops may require lighter fabric.
How to choose fabric for sourcing
Start from product use. Yoga and premium athleisure may need soft nylon blends. Printed products may suit polyester. Plus-size activewear may need stronger recovery and better coverage.
