Product Categories Are Converging — What Does This Mean for Fabric Sourcing?

As the boundaries between activewear, loungewear, shapewear, and outerwear continue to blur, brands are looking for multi-functional fabrics that can meet diverse performance and comfort needs in a single material. This convergence is driving a new era of fabric sourcing — one that demands versatility, innovation, and adaptability.

Leading the way are materials like:
- Cocona® / 37.5® Technology, which regulates temperature, wicks moisture, and controls odour

- Schoeller® ecorepel® Bio, a breathable, soft, and water-repellent finish derived from renewable sources

- DYNTEX® Hybrid Stretch, which offers lightweight weather protection with mechanical stretch for dynamic movement

As categories merge, these innovative textiles are reshaping how we design, source, and think about performance wear.

Natural vs. Synthetic Innovation in Fabrics

The debate between natural and synthetic fibres continues to drive innovation in the textile industry.

Natural fibres, like cotton and wool, offer sustainability and breathability, while synthetic fibres, such as polyester and nylon, push the boundaries of performance, durability, and moisture management. Both have their strengths, and the future of fabrics lies in the fusion of both — blending the best of nature with high-tech functionality.

At Performance Days, we’re exploring how these fibres are evolving and working together to create fabrics that are not only eco-friendly but also high-performing. Ready to see the future of textiles? Get your tickets to the next Performance Days event!

Smart Fibres for Thermal Regulation in Performance Wear

When it comes to staying comfortable during high-intensity activity or shifting climates, smart fibres are transforming performance wear. Designed to adapt to body temperature and environmental conditions, these next-gen textiles actively regulate heat and moisture, keeping you cool when it’s hot — and warm when it’s not.

Whether it’s phase-change materials (PCMs) that absorb, store, and release heat as needed, or infrared-responsive fibres that improve circulation and energy return, smart textiles are pushing boundaries beyond traditional layering systems. Brands are now integrating these technologies into everything from base layers to outerwear, ensuring enhanced performance without compromising on comfort.

Curious to see how innovation meets wearability? Head to the Performance Days website to get your tickets for the next show — and experience the future of smart textile technology firsthand. You can also check our The Loop - our online fabric catalogue for all of your material needs! Link in bio.

Textile Testing Explained: The Key to Performance Wear

In the world of performance wear, textile testing is crucial for ensuring that fabrics meet the highest standards of strength, durability, and functionality. From strength tests that measure the fabric’s ability to withstand tension and abrasion, to durability assessments that ensure long-lasting wear, every test plays a vital role in delivering products that perform under pressure.

These rigorous tests help identify the right materials for different applications, ensuring comfort, flexibility, and resilience in every garment. In a market that demands both performance and sustainability, testing is essential for developing textiles that can keep up with athletes and everyday wearers alike, while withstanding the test of time.

At Performance Days, we delve into the latest in textile testing, pushing the boundaries of what fabrics can do. Ready to learn more? Get your tickets for the next Performance Days show and discover the future of performance wear. Link in bio!

The Lifecycle of a Textile in Performance Wear

Every high-performing garment starts long before the first stitch — and continues long after it’s worn.

From fibre to finish, here’s what the journey looks like:
1️⃣ Raw Material – Bio-based, recycled, or synthetic origins
2️⃣ Fibre Production – Engineered for stretch, breathability, or moisture control
3️⃣ Fabric Manufacturing – Knitting, weaving, bonding, or lamination
4️⃣ Garment Construction – Cut, sewn, bonded or seamless innovation
5️⃣ Wear & Performance – Endurance tested, designed to support movement and climate
6️⃣ End-of-Life – Recycled, repurposed, composted… or landfilled

At Performance Days, we’re spotlighting how innovation can extend a textile’s usefulness, reduce waste, and close the loop, from smarter sourcing to responsible recycling. Circularity isn’t a trend — it’s a transformation.

Innovation vs Greenwashing: What’s the difference—and why does it matter for performance wear?

Not all “sustainable” claims are created equal. In performance wear, where function meets fabric, true innovation goes beyond buzzwords. It means measurable impact—think circular design, low-impact dyeing, and next-gen fibres engineered for longevity and recyclability.⁠

Greenwashing, on the other hand, hides behind vague claims and recycled marketing lingo without the substance to back it up. ⁠

⁠At PERFORMANCE DAYS, we spotlight the technologies and suppliers who are changing the game for good. Because real progress is made when transparency, performance, and sustainability align.⁠
