Q-Skin fabric is treated with silver ions, which help reduce bacteria and odor. This means that when you wear clothing made from Q-Skin, you can stay fresher and more comfortable, even during intense workouts or long days of activity.

Nylon is a strong and durable synthetic fabric that is lightweight and dries quickly. This makes it an excellent choice for activewear, as it can withstand wear and tear while keeping you comfortable and dry during your activities.

Elastane, also known as spandex or Lycra, provides stretch and flexibility to fabrics. When blended with other materials, it allows your clothing to move with your body, ensuring a comfortable fit that supports your movements, especially during workouts.

Lightweight fabrics are designed to be easy to wear for extended periods without adding bulk. This is particularly important for activities like cycling or commuting, where comfort and ease of movement are essential. Choosing lightweight clothing can enhance your overall experience during physical activities.

In athletic wear, "cushion" refers to the padding or support provided by the fabric. If an item has "none" in terms of cushion, it means it is designed to be sleek and minimalistic, which can be preferable for those who want a more natural feel or who engage in activities where extra padding may not be necessary.

To maintain the quality of these fabrics, it’s best to wash them in cold water and avoid using bleach. Air drying is recommended to preserve the elasticity of elastane and the properties of Q-Skin. Following these care instructions will help ensure your activewear remains in great condition for longer.
