Active Outdoor

Activewear manufacturers and consumers especially appreciate the comfort stretch or ‘freedom of movement’ benefit provided by Sorona® fiber. It also resists fading from harsh UV light and repeated washings (a necessity in activewear), extending its useful life. Fabrics made with Sorona® provide comfort from the inside out and from top to bottom — depending on the end use and application of the Sorona® fiber. Some of these benefits include:
