Materials sportswear

In sport, the benefits of synthetic sportswear have been proven for years. Natural materials such as cotton, often consist of hollow fibers, and maintain sweat easily. Thus you can quickly get the feeling of a wet and sweaty body. This feeling is not exactly pleasant while working out intensively.

Hence the success of synthetic sportswear.
We give you a summary of different synthetic fibers which are often used for cycling gear and give a brief explanation of their specific properties:

Coolmax Lycra:

This material keeps the body dry and cool, and is recommended when you exercise in hot weather.
