Sportswear

When it comes to quality sportswear, you should look for technical fabrics that offer breathability, stretch and moisture management. At RAG Tailors, we use premium materials such as antibacterial microfibres and fibres with quick-drying technology that wick away sweat during physical activity. Reinforced seams and ergonomic design are key to ensuring freedom of movement, while details such as anti-friction finishes prevent skin irritation. For specific sports, additional features such as UV protection, thermal properties or compression can be decisive in performance and comfort during training.

The choice of fitness leggings varies depending on the type of exercise you’re doing. For yoga and Pilates, opt for models with high elasticity and a high waist that stay in place during inverted postures. For high-intensity activities like HIIT or running, look for fabrics with compression and quick-drying technology. For weight training, leggings with reinforced panels and strong seams are ideal. Also consider the density of the fabric—opaque leggings are essential for squatting movements. At RAG Tailors, we develop technical leggings with different densities and finishes, adapted to the specific needs of each type of exercise, always ensuring comfort without unwanted transparency and with superior durability after multiple washes.

The main difference lies in the functionality and materials used. Technical training clothing is specifically designed to optimise sports performance, incorporating advanced fabrics that offer moisture management (wicking), quick drying and breathability. These garments often include features such as flat seams to prevent chafing, strategic ventilation zones and antibacterial properties. Casual sportswear, known as athleisure, prioritises comfort and aesthetics for everyday use, maintaining a sporty look but without the advanced technical specifications. At RAG Tailors, we offer both categories with high quality, developing sports t-shirts and tracksuits that can easily transition from the gym to everyday life, always maintaining a commitment to comfort and durability.

To prolong the life of your sportswear, we recommend washing it immediately after use to prevent the proliferation of bacteria and persistent odours. RAG Tailors technical fabrics such as antibacterial microfibres can be washed at temperatures up to 90ºC and are bleach-tolerant, ideal for garments that are used intensively in professional settings. For more delicate fabrics, opt for gentle cycles at lower temperatures (30-40ºC) and always avoid using fabric softeners, which can compromise the technical properties of the fibres. Dry your garments preferably in the shade and avoid high-temperature dryers which can damage elastane. In the case of fitness leggings and stretch training shorts, do not hang them for too long to avoid deforming the fabric. These simple practices ensure that your sportswear maintains its performance and appearance for much longer.

Fabrics that best combine sustainability and performance include recycled polyester, which offers excellent moisture management and durability while reducing environmental impact. Regenerated nylon, sourced from fishing nets and industrial waste, provides superior strength and elasticity. At RAG Tailors, we use sustainable fibers combined with advanced technologies, such as antibacterial fabrics that require less washing, saving water and energy. For specific sports, eucalyptus and elastane tencel blends offer a soft touch and breathability for yoga and pilates, while technical microfibers with quick-drying treatment are ideal for high-intensity activities. These advanced materials not only ensure superior performance, but also a conscious choice for athletes who value sustainability in their training gear.

Choosing the right size for sportswear requires considering not only your body measurements, but also the level of compression you want and the range of motion required for each activity. For compression garments such as fitness leggings and compression t-shirts, a tighter fit is recommended, but should allow for comfortable breathing and full movement. For upper garments such as sports t-shirts, make sure the length is adequate to stay in place during overhead exercises. RAG Tailors offers detailed sizing charts and a consultancy service to help you choose the right size, as some technical garments may require different sizes than the usual casual wear. For high-intensity workouts, we recommend trying out movements such as squats and lunges to ensure the garment can handle all your movements without restriction.

Customizing sportswear offers numerous advantages for teams and events, creating a unified visual identity and strengthening team spirit. At RAG Tailors, we specialize in advanced customization through high-quality embroidery, printing and screen printing that withstand multiple washes without fading.
