Winter or summer, do you want to keep in shape? Now it’s up to your sports equipment to keep up with the times and the seasons. Comfort and performance, choosing your sportswear for the summer requires taking into account technical criteria , Edgard delivers them to you in stride.
The 3 criteria to take into account for your sportswear:
Sporty in the high summer heat , nothing could stop you except a sports outfit that does not conform to the weather! And because your performance goes hand in hand with a breathable outfit , make sure your sportswear for the summer meets 3 key criteria:Â
- Light color: Dark shades will absorb heat from the sun’s rays, while light shades will reflect light without accumulating heat . The feeling of lightness is up to you by adapting your choice of colors.
- Breathability: Essential in summer, to avoid overheating, pay attention to breathable materials , which incorporate ventilated inserts to evacuate moisture in your workout session .
- Good support:  For the shorts, as for the rest of your sportswear , it is important to have a stretch lining that offers good support and avoids friction, which can cause burns.Â
The materials to favor for your sportswear in summer:
Good to know… All the technicality of a sports outfit for the summer lies in the materials that compose it. Not to be overlooked, they are intended to improve your performance in a frantic race towards freedom of movement.
What underwear and accessories to complete your summer sports outfit?
Choose high-performance accessories to complete your sports outfit!
Underwear, socks, cap and sunglasses with good UV protection , no accessory is to be left out of the photo-finish.
In order to avoid poor blood circulation and excessive sweating, choose lycra and microfibers  for your underwear . Regarding your socks, choose them  without spandex  and as low as possible  so as not to compress movement and reduce heat!
Having a cap will help you avoid sunstroke and dehydration . And unlike your clothes: opt for dark tones ! The goal: for your cap to absorb the heat rather than your skin.
Also, avoid choosing a cotton cap , which by absorbing sweat, would increase your body temperature and promote sunstroke . So opt for synthetic fibers that filter the sun better!
Technical and breathable sneakers for your sportswear!
In summer, your feet tend to swell with the heat, especially if you do your running session at the end of the day. This is the natural phenomenon of water retention . Caused by a reaction of the body to maintain its body temperature.
Water retention increases blood flow and dilation of vessels by circulating water on your vein walls. Reinforced by the compressed effect of sports shoes , it is better to choose summer sports sneakers with a classic, non-elastic lace tie.
Also, it is not surprising to say that your feet also sweat during physical exertion . To avoid increasing the risk of friction, irritation and overheating on your feet with each step, select lighter and machine-washable materials that will prevent the proliferation of bacteria.
