Performance Activewear, Measured on the Body

Leggings, shorts, training tops, sports bras and running layers in stretch and recycled fabrics, where recovery and opacity decide the review.

Product Detail

Recovery, Opacity, Seam Comfort

Activewear is returned for three reasons: it goes see-through under stretch, it bags out after a few wears, or a seam rubs. None of those show up on a measurement table.

We test opacity under stretch and recovery after repeated extension on bulk fabric, specify flatlock or bonded seams where the garment moves most, and approve fit on the body in movement rather than flat - because that is how the customer will judge it.
