Squash waistcoats on offer in the sports shop
SportanoIn the world of racquet sports, where every piece of equipment is crucial, squash waistcoats are gaining in popularity. They are not just a fashion accessory, but an important part of the sports wardrobe, providing comfort and support during the game.Materials and properties: thermal insulation vs.
breathability at the same timeSquash waistcoats, like other pieces of sportswear, have to meet the specific demands of intense physical activity. The main aim is to provide warmth and thermal insulation, but it is equally important that the material "breathes" and allows the skin to naturally thermoregulate.
Advanced manufacturing technologies have made it possible to create fabrics with special properties that combine the ability to retain heat with high air permeability. As a result, even during intense exercise, when the body produces more heat, the waistcoat does not cause the body to overheat. In practice, this means that when playing on colder days, the player feels warm, but at the same time his skin is not wet with sweat.
It is also important that the waistcoats are made of quick-drying materials. Sweat that collects on the surface of the skin can cause a feeling of coldness, especially after the game is over. Moisture-wicking materials ensure that sweat is 'sucked' away from the surface of the skin and spread over a larger area of the material, speeding up evaporation.
Many squash apparel manufacturers are investing in research and development, resulting in new developments on the market that enhance the comfort of waistcoats. For example, technologies based on microfibres or special membranes that stop wind and cold on the one hand, and allow the skin to breathe on the other.
When choosing a squash waistcoat, it is worth paying attention to the materials from which it is made. The ideal waistcoat should be warm, but at the same time breathable and quick-drying. Modern technology makes it possible to combine these properties in a single product, which significantly affects the comfort of the game.Cut and ergonomics: how does the waistcoat support the player's movement on the court? Squash is a sport requiring fast movements, manoeuvrability and precision. Therefore, the clothes in which squash is played should be designed in such a way that they do not restrict the player's movements. The waistcoat, although at first glance it may appear to be a somewhat 'luxury' accessory, can play a key role in supporting the player's movement, provided it is properly cut and tailored to the player's needs.
The ergonomic cut of squash waistcoats ensures that they do not cause unnecessary resistance during movement. This allows the player to focus solely on the game and not on customising the garment during play. Elements such as elastic panels or inserts made of stretch materials in strategic areas can significantly increase the range of movement and improve comfort.
Another important aspect is the length and width of the waistcoat. The fit is crucial so that the waistcoat does not interfere with movement, "fall out" from under trousers or shift during play. A waistcoat that is too loose can cause friction and irritation, while one that is too tight can restrict the range of movement.
Some waistcoats are also equipped with additional features, such as special compartments for squash balls or small pockets for small items. While these may seem like a minor addition, for many players they are an important part of their equipment, allowing them to keep essential accessories within easy reach.
