A deep dive into the science of sports textiles, helping you choose the perfect fabric for your team's specific athletic requirements.
The foundation of any great athletic garment is its fabric. With advances in textile technology, brands now have access to materials engineered for highly specific athletic environments. Today, we're breaking down two of our most popular premium fabrics: Micromesh Pro and Supreme Tech Fleece.
Micromesh Pro: The Ultimate in Ventilation
Micromesh is a lightweight, porous polyester fabric designed specifically for high-exertion sports in warm climates.
Key Benefits:
- Moisture Management: The open-hole structure allows heat to escape rapidly while drawing sweat away from the body to the fabric's surface where it evaporates.
- Feather-light Feel: It provides athletes with maximum agility without weighing them down.
Ideal Applications:
Micromesh is the gold standard for basketball uniforms, soccer jerseys, and 7v7 football gear where maximum airflow is required.
Supreme Tech Fleece: Engineered Warmth
Tech Fleece represents the evolution of athletic outerwear. Unlike traditional heavy cotton fleece, Supreme Tech Fleece is a synthetic blend engineered to trap body heat without adding bulk.
Key Benefits:
- Thermal Regulation: It features a smooth face for weather resistance and a brushed interior that creates micro-pockets of insulating air.
- Aerodynamic Profile: It provides athletes with a sleek, tailored fit rather than a baggy appearance.
Ideal Applications:
Sideline jackets, warm-up hoodies, and travel wear. It provides athletes with a sleek profile while maintaining optimal muscle temperature before competition.
Making the Right Choice
Your choice of fabric should be dictated by the sport, the climate, and the garment's primary function. Whether you need the cooling properties of Micromesh or the lightweight warmth of Tech Fleece, Costur Industries sources only the highest grade textiles for your custom orders.
