Active Wear

Highly breathable, lightweight and soft fabric are recommended for comfort and to aid movement. The Empreinte Initiale collection is made from a spacer fabric which is a soft and comfortable fabric ideal for wearing when exercising. The coolmax fabric used by Freya helps take the moisture away and keep you fresh.

Good Features Of Active Wear

As well as using the best fabric, other features of active wear that make your sportswear comfortable are flat seams, invisible wires padded straps and wide waistband. Flat seams on sports bras, briefs and leggings, make the underwear and clothing comfortable. When exercising you want to avoid chaffing and flat seams can prevent this. Some sports bras are non wired with soft cups. Manufacturers are now making more underwired sports bras. The underwires are flatter or invisible, to avoid wires digging in as you move around during exercise. Padded straps on sports bras provide added comfort, support and help take the weight off the shoulders. T-back or cross back straps also help to support the back and stop strap slippage which can be annoying during exercise. Wide waistbands on sports leggings help to give support to the lower torso and tummy area. It also gives a slimming silhouette and we all want to look good when we are out running or cycling and doing our yoga or aerobic movements.

How To Wash Active Wear

Just like we want to take care of our body with exercise, we also want to take care of our activewear when washing it. Always follow the care labels on the clothing. Elastic clothing and lingerie do not like high temperatures so wash your active wear on low temperatures. Alternatively hand wash your sportswear so you can keep the water temperature cooler but also scrub the areas that might have lingering odours from exercising. We would recommend air drying your sports bras and activewear or use a cool drying drying cycle.
