Performance Fabrics We Work With

Fabric selection is the most important decision in activewear. Here's what we use most โ€” and why.

Polyester / Spandex 80/20
The workhorse. Moisture-wicking, durable, colourfast. Most gym wear and leggings use this blend.
Nylon / Spandex 80/20
Softer hand feel than polyester. Premium leggings and yoga wear. Higher cost per metre.
Recycled Polyester
GRS-certified recycled content available. Suitable for sustainability-positioned brands. Same performance as virgin poly.
Bamboo / Spandex
Natural, soft, breathable. Popular for yoga and studio wear. Not ideal for high-intensity sweat.
Supplexยฎ / Lycraยฎ
Premium branded fabrics available on request. Requires higher MOQ from fabric supplier.
Chlorine-Resistant Nylon
Specifically for swimwear and aquatic activewear. Resists chlorine degradation for 200+ swim hours.
Stretch Mesh
Ventilation panels, linings, and overlay details. Available in power mesh and open-hole mesh.
French Terry / Fleece
Warm-up layers, hoodies, sweatpants. Cotton-poly blends for casual athleisure.

Our supply chain covers most performance fabrics: four-way stretch nylon/spandex, recycled poly/spandex, quick-dry polyester, seamless knit, chlorine-resistant swimwear fabric, and technical wovens. If you have a niche fabric requirement, our sourcing team can find it.

Can NewWay source recycled or sustainable activewear fabrics?

Yes. NewWay holds GRS certification and supplies GRS-certified recycled fabrics across the sportswear range. Recycled nylon, bio-based spandex, deadstock โ€” our sourcing team can locate what you need.

Can NewWay produce plus-size activewear?

Yes. Plus-size sportswear is available across all categories with performance-fit grading for each size range โ€” not just scaled from standard patterns.
