I’m surprised there aren’t synthetic clothes like aluminium that you can flip for a different heat effect. That one would also probably sell well. One side would be for pre-training, when it’s cold, the other after you are hot but still have to overheat in it in order to not catch flu from wind.
Unfortunately in this topic i’m not an expert so i can’t roast them properly or be 100% sure i’m right, but i still scratch my head when i see that synthetic garbage in waaaaaaay too many places. it’s not really cheaper or more breathing. Cotton is premium only in suits.
One thing however, is always 100% cotton and it never changed. socks. Explain to me why the most breathable material in the whole universe isn’t used on socks? Interesting.
And pajamas too. In theory the most comfy clothes that need to be good for sweating are made out of cotton, do we tell them about that?
Type of weave and quality makes a big difference of course. With cotton it’s simpler usually.
Some clothes aren’t that bad, and 80% cotton isn’t bad. 20% cotton 80% polyester is stupid. I even wore some “safety” clothes and the one with more cotton was less stiff and more comfortable. But it’s mostly random cases and my experience, not some scientific research.
But maybe i don’t understand it because i don’t wear special clothes for running/cycling and i think it’s weird to run on a treadmill.
It looks like there are no benefits to using polyester in literally all clothes except that it’s cheaper but the price is the same lol. There may be benefits for swimming suits or something, but that’s a different story. I’m not for banning it, but it’s not better than cotton. Follow what is premium if you want to know.
But there are benefits to cotton and it’s better for environment. You don’t create microplastics and get sweaty.
Really, i’m annoyed a lot by synthetic clothing.
