How to Choose Fabrics and Colors for Your Custom Activewear?

At CozyActive, we are proud to offer China’s largest selection of recycled fabrics in the season’s trending colors, ensuring our clients always have access to the latest fashion designs. Our high-quality fabrics are sourced from Power-Fit® in Korea, ECONYL® and Carvico® in Italy, and REPREVE® in the USA. These fabrics are certified recycled and sustainable by GRS (Global Recycled Standard) and U Trust, ensuring their environmental and sustainable credentials. We not only use these materials, but also use moisture wicking fabric to custom activewear.

These fabrics not only excel in functionality, including body-enhancing, super soft hand feel, sweat-wicking, and squat-proof properties, but they also offer various levels of compression and flexibility. Whether you are selling yoga wear, running gear, or gym clothing, we provide the most suitable fabrics to meet all kinds of athletic needs.

All our fabrics are produced from salvaged fishing nets, plastic bottles, or post-consumer waste. This means that by choosing our fabrics, you can proudly claim that your brand is committed to sustainability and eco-friendly production. This not only enhances your brand image but also aligns with modern consumers’ demand for environmentally friendly products.

Moreover, using recycled fabrics over new ones can reduce carbon emissions by up to 80%. By opting for our recycled fabrics, you can offer high-quality activewear while contributing to environmental conservation, reducing pollution, and promoting green and sustainable development.

Activewear Fabric Selection for Start-Up Brands

Start-up activewear brands often choose their colors from our extensive stock. These stocks are not remnants; they are regularly flown in via weekly flights to ensure fresh, trendy colors are always available as production demands. With over 80 trending colors to choose from and no minimum order quantity (MOQ) per color, this provides an ideal starting point for your sustainable activewear journey.

As your brand grows, you may find it beneficial to request specific colors to be imported in larger quantities. We offer the option to import colors in 70-meter roll-based lots, which are used in your production purchase orders (PO). One roll can produce approximately 50 sets of leggings and sports tops. Importing a 70-meter roll takes several weeks from order to delivery, so planning ahead is crucial to ensure your production timeline remains on track. Larger orders may extend the production time, so it’s essential to factor in these additional weeks when placing bulk POs.

This approach allows start-up brands to maintain flexibility and responsiveness to market trends while also scaling up efficiently as demand increases. By choosing our recycled and sustainable fabrics, you not only enhance your brand’s environmental credentials but also contribute to significant reductions in carbon emissions, making your production process both eco-friendly and forward-thinking.

Different Fabrics for Different Activities

Our fabrics are meticulously crafted with a range of compression and flexibility, ensuring you can confidently choose the most suitable one for the activity you’re engaging in. Each fabric is designed to meet specific needs, whether you’re practicing yoga, running, or lifting weights, providing the perfect balance of support, comfort, and performance.

Eco-Olympus is a top choice for gym addicts and brands seeking superior compression. Made with Creora® Power-Fit from Korea, this fabric offers unparalleled support where it’s needed most. Creora®, the world’s largest spandex/elastane brand, ensures that Eco-Olympus provides excellent elasticity and durability. This fabric is ideal for high-intensity workouts and weight training, where maximum support and flexibility are crucial. Its superior compression helps enhance muscle performance and recovery, making it a favorite among serious athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

For brands requiring less compression, Comfort Lux is the perfect choice. It offers the same luxurious hand feel and flexibility as high-end brands like Lululemon. Comfort Lux is ideal for jogging, everyday athleisure wear, and less intense workouts. It’s our most popular activewear fabric because it combines excellent body-enhancing properties with exceptional comfort. The fabric’s sweat-wicking capabilities ensure you remain cool and dry, no matter how hard you work out. Its versatility makes it a great option for those who want stylish and functional activewear for various activities.

All our fabrics are not only high-performing but also sustainable. Eco-Olympus and Comfort Lux, along with other options in our range, are crafted with environmentally friendly practices and materials. This ensures that while you get the best performance out of your activewear, you’re also contributing to a greener planet. By choosing our fabrics, you support sustainable fashion and help reduce the environmental impact of textile production.

Adding Prints to your Collection

Contrary to what most people think, printing fabrics is far easier & faster than dying in plain colours. We usually handle print requests overseas using Italian MS print machines. This is due to the superior colour saturation on softer fabric than anything printed in China. Alternatively, if you’re short on time, we print in China on REPREVE® PL (polyester).
