What Are The Common Fabrics for Yoga Clothes? What Are The Advantages and Disadvantages?

Yoga clothes belong to the category of close fitting clothing, and yoga exercises leave a lot of sweat during exercise, so the material of yoga clothes is crucial. There are many fabrics for yoga clothes, and today I will introduce some common ones to you.

Quick drying fabric

Quick drying fabric is a common fabric for sportswear, belonging to a double-layer structure fabric. The intimate layer is made of non absorbent but porous synthetic fibers, and the outer layer is made of absorbent cotton blend. Generally, there are more synthetic and Polyester Fibers, and this type of fabric will not stick to the body after sweating, making it more comfortable.

Advantages: Strong volatility and water absorption, good moisture dissipation and warmth retention, keeping the skin dry and fresh, and can play a better role in windproof, rainproof, and moisture-proof aspects. When you sweat, the inner layer has no affinity for sweat and is directly transmitted to the absorbent material of the outer layer through micro pores, so that your intimate inner layer never feels the presence of sweat. The characteristic is to quickly guide the body's sweat to the outer layer of the clothes, on the one hand, the inner layer is dry, and on the other hand, sweat is easy to evaporate on the outer layer.

Disadvantage: If the quick drying fabric contains 100% polyester fiber, it is not comfortable for human wearing experience.

Lycra

Lycra fabric is a fabric made of spandex fiber (short for spandex polyurethane fiber), sometimes directly referred to as "Spandex Fabric".

Advantages: Adding Lycra to the fabric can enhance its elasticity, allowing it to move freely during exercise and maintain its shape for a long time. It has good elasticity and is not easily deformed, providing a comfortable fit. Lycra can be combined with various fibers without changing the appearance and texture of the fabric. The fabric has good softness.

Disadvantage: Lycra fabric must be blended with other fibers to produce finished products.

O'Dell

Odell fabric is a high-end fiber made by weaving plant protein fibers through special processes, and then weaving this plant protein fiber with cotton to form a fabric. It belongs to an environmentally friendly textile fabric.

Advantages: Good moisture absorption and conductivity, high elasticity, soft and breathable, with hanging and flowing properties, lightweight and smooth texture, not easy to shrink, easy to wash and dry quickly.

Disadvantage: This fabric belongs to natural fiber fabrics and is expensive.

Modal 

Modal fiber is a type of cellulose fiber, which, like artificial cotton, belongs to the same category of cellulose fibers and is a pure artificial fiber. After being made from shrubbery grown in Europe and processed through specialized spinning techniques, it is now mostly used in the production of underwear.

Advantages: Soft to the touch, strong moisture absorption, bright color, good drape, the fabric has natural wrinkle resistance and no ironing properties.

Disadvantages: The fabric has poor stiffness, is prone to pilling, and is relatively expensive.

Bamboo fiber

Bamboo fiber fabric is a new type of fabric made from bamboo as raw material through special processes, and then spun. It is a truly natural and environmentally friendly green fiber.

Advantages: Smooth, soft, warm, moisture absorbing, breathable, antibacterial, UV resistant, warm in winter and cool in summer, with the natural beauty effect of bamboo, natural anti mite, anti odor, anti insect negative ion properties, natural health care, green and environmentally friendly.

Disadvantages: Short service life, after a period of use, the cotton thread loop is prone to falling off, losing its previous smoothness, softness, and warmth, and becoming dry and hard; The breathability and instant water absorption gradually decrease after use.

Nylon

Nylon, commonly known as polyamide fiber, is a collective term for polyamide fibers produced in China. Nylon fabric is very wear-resistant and durable, with good moisture absorption, making it a lightweight fabric.

Advantages: Excellent elasticity and elastic recovery, with wear resistance ranking first among all types of fabrics, many times higher than other fiber fabrics in the same category, therefore, its durability is excellent.

Disadvantage: It is prone to deformation under small external forces, so its fabric is prone to wrinkling and poor heat and light resistance during wear and use. It is necessary to pay attention to washing and maintenance conditions during wear and use to avoid damaging the fabric.
