you Apparel in Sports
play sports?
In sports, previously a traditional apparel textile was used. For that the player
has to face so many problems such as:
• Sweating – which stick the fabric with body
• Feeling hot during run
• Improper stretch ability
• Extra weight of the fabric
• Poor protection to body skin during fall on the ground
• Resistance for swimmer Windproof, waterproof fabric for sailor
• Extra weight of the shoe with poor strength & air permeability
• Improper tenacity & resistance to abrasion for the skiwear uniform
• Improper gripping of the shoes during run etc.
Required
Required Properties for Sportswear
• Optimum heat and moisture regulation.
• Rapid moisture absorption and conveyance capacity
• Good air and water permeability
• Prevention of a long term feeling of dampness
• Water absorption of the layer of clothing facing the skin
• Quick drying of fabric to prevent catching cold.
• Pleasant to skin, soft, non-abrasive and non-chafing.
• Dimensionally stable even when wet
• Durable, Lightweight, Soft and pleasant touch
• Easy care, Smart and functional design
Required Functions On Different Sportswear
Sportswear Required Function
1. Shirts for tennis, volleyball, golf, Sweat absorption, fast drying, cooling
football, rugby, base ball uniform, track suits
2. Skiwear, windbreaker, rain wear Vapor permeability, water proofing
3. Skiwear, windbreakers, track suits Sunlight absorbing and thermal retention
4. Swimming race and skating costume, ski Low fluid resistance (for water and air)
jump and downhill skiing suits, cycling costumes
• Lumiac - polyester filaments (0.5 - 2.0 denier per filament) with irregular cross sections
• Dryarn – Recyclable polypropylene micro fibre
Textile Fibres Used For Sportswear
• Killat N - Nylon hollow filament, the hollow portion is about 33% of each
cross section of filament which gives good water absorbency and warmth
retentive property.
• Roica and Leofeel N – roica is polyether type spandex and Leofeel is soft
nylon66. Combination of Roica and Leofeel N in mixed knitted tricot fabric
gives soft touch and excellent stretch. Suitable for swimming wear.
Types of Fabric used for Sportswear
• The following fabrics are commercially available for sports wear. such as
• Knitted fabric
• Woven fabric
• Nonwoven fabric
But These fabrics differ in their structure such as entrapped air, pore shape and size,
bulk and surface properties etc. For sportswear, knitted fabrics are preferred as these
fabrics have greater elasticity and stretch ability compared to woven fabric, which
provide unrestricted freedom of movement and transmission of body vapour to the
next textile layer in the clothing system.
Layered Fabrics:
• Layered fabrics became common for active sportswear. Two layer or three layer
fabrics are most commonly used for thermos physiological regulation and give
better performance than single layer fabric.
Types of Fabric used for Sportswear
Inner layer next to the skin is to wick away the perspiration rapidlyprovides comfort by keeping
the skin dry. In this layer, a synthetic material with good moisture transfer properties, e.g.
polyester, nylon, acrylic or polypropylene is used.
outer layer, which absorbs and dissipates it rapidly to the atmosphere by evaporation. A
material which is good absorber of moisture, e.g. cotton, wool, viscose rayon or their blends
can be used in this layer
Types of Fabric used for Sportswear
Mid layer provides warmth. Also called insulating layer. The use of superfine or micro fibre yarn
enables production of dense fabrics leading to more effective capillary action, with better
thermo-physiological regulation
Outer layer protects from wind and water and also works protection over other two layer.

SPORTS ACCESSORIES
Efficient and durable sporting items providing designated playing conditions for the
targeted sports, viz. Artificial turfs, Sport nets, rings etc.
ARTIFICIAL TURF
• Manufactured from synthetic fibres, and made to look and perform
like a natural grass surface. Pile fibres of polyethylene, polypropylene,
nylon-6 or nylon-6, 6 are knitted as backing using flat-bed knitting
machine
• It was named as ChemGrass and as it was first installed in 1966 at the
indoor baseball stadium, the Houston Astrodome in Texas, US

DIFFERENT TYPES OF NET
• Dimensional stability is important - Heat stabilized nettings
• Aesthetic is very important
• Resistance to UV
• Indore nets – F. R. is important
• Antifungal property is often asked

Cricket Gloves
• Batting gloves are made of PU laminated
fabric.
• Wicket keeping gloves are made of PVC
coated fabric as they are subject to more
wear and tear.
Helmets

edge of which are taped to the foam
material which is polystyrene & PU.
Textile Material Used For Sports Goods
Sports shoes
• PVC and PU fabrics are the most widely used material for sport shoes. They are also known as
artificial Leather.
• PU fabrics have the advantage of higher breathability over PVC fabrics.
• The shoe uppers and linings account for 90-95 % of the technical textile components.
