Materials and craftsmanship are crucial for yoga wear selection. The latest guide points out that core fabrics must meet four needs: elasticity, breathability, sweat absorption, and skin-friendliness.
- Nylon-spandex blend is the most mainstream, such as the fabric used in Lululemon's Align series.
- Polyester-spandex blend offers cool feel and quick-drying, ideal for hot yoga.
- Natural fiber blends are skin-friendly but less wear-resistant.
In terms of craftsmanship, brushed treatment reduces skin friction, micro-porous structure accelerates sweat evaporation, and inner fleece in autumn-winter styles provides warmth without bulk. Additionally, details like 3D chest pads, silicone anti-slip strips, and seamless joints significantly enhance practice comfort, which consumers should focus on.
