Better use of raw materials and technology in manufacturing reflective sportswear
There is an increased demand for improved sportswear such as reflective sportswear because it provides a high level of security that is one of the preference factors by most consumers. Key competitors use lycra, mesh, neoprene, reflective fabrics, water-resistant fabrics, microfiber fabrics, and waddings. The fabrics used in such sportswear are reflective in nature and include films, yarns, and trims. They contain many tiny glass beads to refract light. The beads act like mirrors to reflect the light back to the original source. When light hits the glass beads on reflective sportswear, it becomes highly visible even in the darkest place. Such fabrics are not only visible but also resistant to water and environmental agents.
"Activewear, sportswear, children's wear, and even pet wear is being enhanced by the safety features of reflective materials. With the use of technology, designers and manufacturers are making safety more fun and fashionable. In several situations, the safety features are not visible during the day as colors mask the reflective material. The technology used in designing such products permits reflective materials to come in different varieties to meet the requirements of an active lifestyle," says a senior analyst at Technavio for research onoutdoor gear
