Analysis of the applicability of lightweight and heavyweight Polyester Spandex Rib in sportswear

1. Advantages of lightweight Polyester Spandex Rib
Lightweight Polyester Spandex Rib usually has a lower fabric density and thinner thickness. The main features of this fabric include:

Superior breathability: Lightweight fabrics allow air to circulate freely due to their thin thickness and high breathability, effectively wicking away sweat and keeping the body dry and comfortable.

Excellent flexibility: Due to the strong elasticity of lightweight fabrics, they can provide greater freedom and comfort, allowing athletes to perform various movements freely without feeling restrained. For example, lightweight rib fabrics with 1x1 and 2x2 textures are particularly suitable for tight sportswear and running equipment.

Comfort: Lightweight fabrics are usually softer and have less friction on the skin, reducing discomfort during exercise. Its light texture can bring higher wearing comfort, especially suitable for sports in high temperature environments, such as summer running or fitness training.

Suitable for next-to-skin use: Due to its light weight and good elasticity, this type of fabric is very suitable for use as a sports bra or tights, which can fit the body curves while providing sufficient support and comfort.

2. Advantages of Heavy Polyester Spandex Rib
Heavy Polyester Spandex Rib has a higher fabric density and thicker thickness. Its main features include:

Excellent warmth retention: Heavy fabrics can provide better warmth retention and are suitable for exercise in cold environments. Heavy rib textures such as 4x2, 7x3 and 18x4 can effectively block cold air and keep body temperature stable due to their thicker structure. This is especially important for winter sports such as skiing or winter training.

Enhanced support: Heavy fabrics can provide better support and stability due to their thicker structure and strong elasticity. This makes it suitable for making sportswear that requires strong support, such as strength training clothing and compression clothing.

Durability: Heavy fabrics are generally stronger and more wear-resistant, suitable for use in intense exercise or high-intensity training.

Comfort and protection: Although heavyweight fabrics are thicker, their good elasticity and comfort can still ensure the wearer's comfortable experience during exercise. At the same time, it can provide additional protection and reduce impact and friction on the body during exercise.

3. Applicable scene analysis
High-intensity sports (such as running, fitness): Lightweight Polyester Spandex Rib is suitable for clothing used in high-intensity sports due to its good breathability and flexibility, such as running shorts, sports bras and tights.

Low-temperature environment sports (such as winter sports, skiing): Heavy Polyester Spandex Rib is suitable for sportswear in cold weather, such as ski suits, heavy training jackets and thermal pants due to its warmth retention and support.
