Why performance apparel?
Performance apparel represents one of the fastest growing sectors of the
international textile and clothing industry. Market growth is being fuelled by
the emergence of new fibres, new fabrics and innovative process technologies.
The market is also being boosted by changes in consumer lifestyles. People are
living longer and spending more time on leisure activities. New high-tech
fabrics are being developed for a wide range of active sports such as
aerobics, athletics, running, cycling, hiking, mountaineering, swimming,
sailing, windsurfing, ballooning, parachuting, snowboarding, and ski-ing.
Exciting innovations are emerging in fire retardant materials and those which
protect against extreme temperatures. Added to that is the growing market for
corporatewear - which, in some cases, is becoming increasingly
fashion-oriented.
And, increasingly, high-tech fabrics and apparel designed for high performance
wear are crossing over the boundary into everyday fashion.
