Before buying a sports suit, you need to determine for what purpose it is needed:
- for training in the gym;
- for home;
- for everyday use;
- for traveling.
The choice of cut and material depends on this. Many clothing manufacturers and well-known brands have developed clothing for specific activities, taking into account all the features.
For the hall
A comfortable sports suit increases the effectiveness of training, does not restrict body movements and allows the skin to breathe. Intense loads contribute to profuse sweating, so it is extremely important that the fabric allows moisture to pass and wick away well, and also promotes air ventilation. Particular attention should be paid to the quality of the seams. They should be smooth, neat and strong so that training does not cause discomfort.
Give preference to synthetic or semi-synthetic hypoallergenic materials. They are able to maintain a comfortable temperature and have high wear resistance.
For home
The least requirements are put forward for clothing for the home; the main thing is comfort. No tight elastic bands, bristling seams, or pressing fasteners. It is better to choose models made from natural fabrics such as linen and cotton, which are most pleasant to the body.
For traveling
Items from your everyday wardrobe do not work well enough when traveling and hiking. Your favorite sweatshirt doesn't warm you well, your T-shirt takes too long to dry, your pants restrict your movement, and your city windbreaker quickly gets wet.
In tourism, the process of movement is replaced by regular stops. While you are walking, you are warm, but if you stop, your body instantly cools down. Weather conditions, which are quite difficult to predict, also contribute. Therefore, to avoid hypothermia and overheating, tourists need to choose membrane and windproof suits. It effectively removes moisture from the skin and significantly reduces the risk of overheating and hypothermia.
For everyday life
Summer, demi-season and winter walking suits for the street should be present in the modern men's and women's wardrobe, regardless of figure and age. High-quality cut and materials, comfortable length, sealing gasket - two-piece suits are great for shopping and a morning run. They do not cause friction and allow you to move freely.
How to choose the size of a tracksuit?
Sports items should not be small or large in size, so as not to cause discomfort during active physical activity. The exception is women's tops and tank tops, which must effectively support the breasts.
When choosing clothes, the best decision will be to be guided by your feelings. However, you should follow simple rules:
- choose a model and color - this way you will avoid unnecessary fittings;
- the top of the suit should not be too loose or narrow;
- a jacket without buttons and zippers should be easy to put on and take off without causing discomfort;
- the length of the sleeve with the arm bent at the elbow should reach the wrist;
- the belt of the pants should not squeeze the waist, and their style should not restrict movement;
- the optimal length of the hem is not lower than the heel, to the end of the shin.
Having tried on the item, walk in it with long strides, squat, swing your arms and legs. This is the only way you can understand whether the new thing is comfortable.
