Winter has gone and spring is springing a new tune of activities. The temperature is soaring and your workouts seem more strenuous than other wise. The heat quotient is on a rise and doing your normal run, jog or daily fun workout may be a task. Why don’t your do some good for yourself, your skin and your nature as well. You like being eco-friendly? If yes, then you can do that while opting for your workout clothes as well this spring. Instead of opting for the standard cheap clothing that does no one good try choosing eco-friendly clothing!
Organic Cotton
Organic cotton feels smooth and is porous. It is sweat absorbent while at the same time it is porous enough for your skin and clothes to breathe. Buy yourself a fancy pair of singles, spaghettis or may be some tank tops. Organic cotton looks rich and feels wonderful on the skin. Most workout wear of the organic cotton range has a mix of spandex in it which adds stretch-ability to the clothing assisting easy movement during workouts. It is a sustainable material that will last long and is easily washable. Being high in quality it lasts longer and is often worth your money in the process.
Look out for companies and workout manufacturers who lay emphasis on eco-friendly clothing and do keep the environment in mind while making sports and athletic clothes. There are many companies who are catering to the needs of the eco-friendly clients who put the environment ahead of their goals and ambitions in life. Most Non-Governmental Organisations do that. These companies source their cotton from organic cotton farms that naturally grow high quality cotton in their field along the country side. Thus, gauge the company before opting for one of them.
Cotton, Water and Organic Cotton
Go to one of the small sports clothes shop and ask for the blended cotton fabric clothes. These blended cotton clothes are different from organic cotton. There is a new trend that has taken the textile industry by surprise and is becoming an increasingly adopted fabric for eco conscious companies. It uses organic cotton, normal cotton and blends it with water to produce a new fabric.
Fabric from Plastic Bottles
Heard of your hoodie being made from recycled bottles? Yes, that is a possibility and it has been adopted by many companies world over. Clothes are made of recycled plastic bottles that are transformed into polyester. This polyester made from used bottles is further processed to make some of the finest clothing. As the material becomes thick it is often used to make hoodies and jackets that one can use for an early morning chilly jogs or team it up with the basic yoga wear.
Bamboo Clothing
Clothing from Bamboo is not a fake story. It is real. In fact bamboo has always been used for making fabrics. The bamboo has been used to make bamboo lyocell which is used for bamboo clothing. This process is less harmful than making clothes from bamboo viscose treatment that used to be used earlier.
Wool
Australian wool is used to make terry pants. These pants are extremely light and easily wearable. They are breathable and absorbent adding to the utility during workout sessions. The fabric is super soft and malleable and hence excellent for yoga and other flexing activities.
Thus, it’s not that there eco-friendly clothing is not available. It is available! It is available at all times and at most stores around you. All you need to do is take an effort to ask and request for fabrics that will keep you and your environment safer.
