The characteristics of swimsuit fabrics mainly include breathability, waterproofness, quick drying, elasticity and durability.
Nylon fabric: Nylon (nylon) fabric is usually used for racing swimsuits. It is light, strong and durable and can dry quickly. However, it has a high degree of fit to the body and is not comfortable to wear. It is suitable for competitive swimmers.
Polyester fabric: Polyester fabric is soft, comfortable, breathable and not easy to deform when wet. However, its durability is poor and it is easily weakened by chlorides and light. It is suitable for ordinary swimmers. Polyurethane fabric: Polyurethane fabric is highly elastic, breathable, waterproof and wear-resistant, which can effectively reduce water flow resistance and increase swimming speed. However, it is sensitive to humidity and needs to be cleaned and maintained in time. DuPont Lycra: Lycra is a man-made elastic fiber with excellent elasticity. It can be extended to 4-6 times its original length. It is suitable for blending with various fibers to enhance the drape and wrinkle-proof effect. Lycra fabrics with chlorine-resistant ingredients have a longer service life.
Polyester-spandex fabrics: Combining the advantages of polyester and spandex, it has durability, lightness and good elasticity, suitable for consumers who pursue cost-effectiveness and easy care.
Nylon-spandex fabrics: Nylon-spandex fabrics have excellent elasticity, reduce movement resistance, and improve swimming efficiency, especially suitable for indoor swimming venues.
