Sports Skirt
A sports skirt is a skirt designed specifically for athletic activities. It combines the comfort and flexibility of shorts or leggings with the aesthetic and perceived freedom of a skirt.
Material
Sports skirts are typically constructed from performance fabrics that prioritize moisture-wicking, breathability, and stretch. Common materials include:
- Polyester: A durable, lightweight synthetic fiber known for its moisture-wicking properties and resistance to wrinkles. Often blended with other fibers.
- Spandex/Elastane/Lycra: Provides stretch and compression, allowing for a full range of motion. Usually incorporated in blends with polyester or nylon.
- Nylon: A strong, lightweight synthetic fiber that offers good durability and a smooth feel. Often used in compression layers.
- Mesh: Used for ventilation and layering, often found in side panels or as an overlay.
- Compression Fabrics: Provide muscle support and improve circulation.
Purpose & Function
The primary purpose of a sports skirt is to provide comfort and performance during athletic activities while offering the coverage and style some athletes prefer. Key functions include:
- Moisture Management: Wicking away sweat to keep the wearer dry and comfortable.
- Freedom of Movement: Allowing for a full range of motion without restriction.
- Coverage: Providing a modest and comfortable level of coverage during activity.
