Top 5 Fabrics for Activewear | Multypros

🧵 Top 5 Fabrics Used in Activewear and Custom Sportswear Manufacturing

Choosing the right fabric is one of the most important steps in sportswear and activewear manufacturing. Whether you’re creating leggings, sports bras, tracksuits, or yoga sets — the performance, comfort, and durability of your garments depend heavily on the fabric you choose.

At Multypros, we work with a wide range of high-performance textiles to help brands create stylish and functional activewear. Here are the top 5 fabrics we use in custom sportswear manufacturing:

✅ 1. Nylon (Polyamide)

Nylon is soft, lightweight, and extremely durable. It's ideal for leggings, gym wear, and compression garments. Nylon blends well with spandex for 4-way stretch and flexibility.

✅ 2. Polyester

Known for its moisture-wicking and quick-drying qualities, polyester is perfect for t-shirts, tank tops, and tracksuits. It resists shrinking and keeps shape after repeated washes.

✅ 3. Spandex (Elastane / Lycra)

Used mostly as a secondary fiber, spandex adds stretch and comfort. It’s often blended with nylon or polyester to give garments better movement and fit — ideal for yoga and fitness wear.

✅ 4. Cotton-Spandex Blend

This blend combines the softness and breathability of cotton with the stretch of spandex. Great for gym tops, sports bras, and loungewear where comfort is key.

✅ 5. Ribbed & Seamless Fabrics

Seamless fabrics provide a smooth finish and are trending in modern activewear sets. Ribbed knits offer both structure and style — perfect for matching sets and casual athleisure wear.

🧵 Fabric Selection Tips for Brands:

• Always consider the purpose: intense workouts need breathable, durable fabrics

• For comfort, use cotton blends

• For trend-driven designs, explore ribbed or seamless options

• Multypros provides custom sourcing & suggestions based on your target market
