Describing test fabrics

This elastic fabric consists of 6% spandex, if it isn’t elastic enough a fabric with a bigger percentage spandex will be used.

The next few fabrics will be tested for the rougher material:

Cotton: chosen because it absorbs water and for that is good against sweat

Water resistance: when uses outside this fabric may have an advantage

Satin: know to feel real nice on the skin

Polyester viscose: synthetic cotton, a bit rougher than the first cotton presented

Rip test:

For the first selection filter the fabrics where damaged with a sharp object to see how it reacts. By doing this we noticed that the satin and the water resistant fabric aren’t ideal because they rip very fast.
