About activewear
Activewear should do more than just keep up – it should enhance performance, comfort, and sustainability. At Lenzing, we offer premium cellulosic fibers designed to bring moisture regulation, flexibility, and softness to a wide range of activewear applications.
From comfortable sports shirts to supportive sports bras, outdoor apparel, and flexible yoga pants, our fibers help create fabrics that move effortlessly with the body. Their natural moisture management properties support a drier, more comfortable feel, making them an ideal choice for activewear.
BENEFITS
How activewear benefits from Lenzing fibers
Effective moisture control
The structure of cellulosic fibers allows the absorption and release of moisture. In the final fabric, these moisture controlling properties support a drier microclimate on the skin.
Unfavorable to odor-causing bacteria
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers absorb sweat efficiently, resulting in reduced moisture on the fiber surface. This creates a less favorable environment for the growth of odor-causing bacteria.
Natural softness
Our TENCEL™ fibers give activewear fabrics a natural softness, making the fabrics feel pleasant against the skin.
Versatility
With their wide range of fiber types and blending options, TENCEL™ fibers offer an almost endless variety of product designs and functions.
