About polyester & performance
Performance polyester and poly-spandex blends are engineered for movement — they wick moisture, dry fast, and (with spandex) deliver the 4-way stretch that activewear and sportswear depend on.
Polyester is also the ideal canvas for all-over dye-sublimation, giving vivid, permanent prints for jerseys, kits and gym ranges with no cracking.
