Sports are trending, and more and more people are exercising. It is very important to choose a casual sportswear fabric that suits you. At present, the sportswear on the market is mainly composed of cotton and polyester. What are the characteristics of these fabrics?
- Durability
Cotton sportswear is easy to deform after wearing for a long time, and thread ends are easy to come out. After many washes, the surface of the clothes is prone to a depreciation feeling. The polyester component, its fiber strength is stronger, so it is not easy to deform after repeated wearing and washing. In terms of durability, polyester performs better.
- In terms of thermal insulation
Cotton fibers have good hygroscopicity, and under normal circumstances, the fibers can absorb moisture into the surrounding atmosphere. But the heat resistance of cotton fiber is average. Therefore, it is more comfortable to wear cotton sports clothes in the spring and autumn. After modification of polyester, there is a kind of cool silk, and its composition is polyester. In hot seasons, it is very comfortable to wear sports T-shirts made of this material.
- Comfort
Cotton is a natural fiber that feels more comfortable on the skin when worn. Polyester is a chemical synthetic fiber, and the comfort is not as comfortable as cotton. However, with the improvement of technology, the wearing comfort of some modified polyesters has been greatly improved.
- It is not easy to take care of
Cotton clothes are easy to wrinkle, so they should be ironed every time they are worn, while polyester has better wrinkle resistance, and generally does not wrinkle on clothes. In this regard, polyester sportswear is easier to care for.
- Cost
The last point is cost. Cotton fiber is the product of natural growth, and the annual output has a lot to do with the weather. Polyester is refined from petroleum, and its output is easier to control.
