Sportswear pants come in various materials, including moisture-wicking fabrics, cotton, spandex, and polyester, and are designed to optimize athletic performance. The choice of fabric depends on the desired qualities, and the type of sport or exercise performed determines the style of pants. Prices vary depending on features and brand.
Sportswear, sometimes also known as sportswear, is a type of clothing specifically designed to be worn during sports or exercise to help optimize performance. The term “pants” refers to any type of clothing worn on the lower half of the body, whether by men or women. Sportswear pants may include, but are not limited to, long pants, capri or three-quarter pants, shorts, skirts, skirts, and leggings. These bottoms come in many types of materials, including moisture-wicking fabrics, cotton, or blends of cotton, spandex, and polyester. Sportswear bottoms are generally as lightweight as possible so that they do not impede the wearer’s movement, which is essential for athletic performance.
The type of fabric used in sportswear bottoms can vary, depending on the qualities that are desired. Fabric treated to wick away perspiration prevents sweat from being trapped between the skin and the fabric, allowing it to evaporate so it doesn’t soak into the fabric and in turn chafe or irritate sensitive spots. Fabrics that contain or are treated with polypropylene, a thermoplastic polymer, are generally good for this function.
Fabric made from cotton or cotton-blend tends to absorb sweat, making cotton exercise gear feel clammy and heavy as your workout progresses. Cotton sportswear pants may make sense for someone doing a short or light exercise routine. Most cotton activewear tends to have a looser fit than spandex or polyester.
Spandex is a commonly used material for tighter-fitting workout clothing. It can be combined with an absorbent substance to allow a close and dry fit. Spandex alone will not wick moisture away from the body. Similarly, polyester can be treated with polypropylene to help wick moisture, but untreated polyester won’t have the same effect.
The type of sportswear chosen depends on the sport or exercise that is performed. Basketball players, for example, wear baggy shorts to give them room to maneuver on a basketball court. Cyclists and runners generally wear tight pants or shorts that offer the least wind resistance. Long distance runners can wear compression shorts to prevent cramping that comes from such long periods of activity.
Previously used primarily for tennis, fitness skirts have become more versatile. They are worn by women during many types of physical activity, from running to lifting weights. Training skorts usually include built-in shorts or briefs with inverted seams to prevent chafing.
The price of sportswear bottoms ranges from very inexpensive to expensive, depending on the desired features. For example, plain cotton workout pants generally cost less than bottoms treated to wick away sweat. The brand of sportswear bottoms is also a factor in how expensive they are.
