1.1 Polyester

Polyester is an important variety of synthetic fibers. Yoga clothes made from it have the texture of a swimsuit, which is light and cool. But the shortcomings are also obvious.

It is easy to smell of sweat after the yoga practice.

Viscose fiber, also called rayon and ice silk, is mainly cellulose fiber produced from cotton or wood fiber. It has very good moisture absorption, breathability and antistatic properties. It has the essence of cotton and the quality of silk. It is an authentic plant fiber.
However, traditional viscose fabrics have poor resilience. Such fabrics are easy to stretch after being worn for a long time, and their dimensional stability is very poor. However, in recent years, there is a kind of high-crimp and high-wet modulus viscose fiber, which has good curling and resilience, but the dyeing degree is slightly poor, and the color of the made yoga sets fitness will not be bright and beautiful.

1.3 Ice silk

Ice silk is an extension of viscose. Its moisture absorption and air permeability are better than ordinary viscose, and it has better shape retention and drape. yoga sets fitness made with it can not only bring a refreshing ice experience, It can also modify the body curve to facilitate various movements and high-intensity training.

The only disadvantage of ice silk is that it is hydrophilic, so it is easy to contaminate dirt, and some dirt can penetrate into the fiber. Therefore, yoga sets fitness made of ice silk fabric should not be worn for too long. If it is dirty, it should be cleaned with neutral softener in time. , Otherwise it will affect the wearing life.

1.4 Milk shreds

Milk silk is milk protein obtained by skimming and dewatering liquid milk, plus softener to make milk slurry, and then through wet spinning technology and scientific treatment, textile city milk protein fiber is a pure and healthy green fabric , Good skin-friendly, comfortable to wear.

1.5 Lycra

Lycra cotton is currently one of the most widely used and best fabrics for yoga clothes. It is different from traditional pure cotton. It has a stretch of up to 500% and can be restored to its original shape. It can cope with various difficult and difficult yoga practices. Range action.

yoga sets fitness are generally in solid colors. If you want to choose yoga sets fitness with patterns, it is recommended to avoid printed patterns. With the increase in the range of body movements, the patterns will be distorted and distracted during the exercise. It is also inconvenient for everyone to observe the direction of their muscles and it is difficult to ensure that the movements are standard.

If you want to decorate, you can choose small patterns such as lines, polka dots, squares, etc., which are fashionable and slim, and more importantly, they won't cause visual errors like large prints. Of course, when choosing a pattern, you should pay attention to the line not to be too thick, so that it will look very unsightly when stretched.

When developing new products for yoga sets fitness in the US market, it is necessary to grasp the psychological needs of women, such as color, style, and price, as a key consideration.
