In today's FittBite, we explore the world of sportswear compression, from its historical roots to modern innovations. Learn how elastane (spandex) revolutionizes fabric engineering, allowing for a close fit that retains shape and stretchability over time.

Discover the key elements of compression: tightness of fit and elastane content. We differentiate between comfort stretch and power stretch, tailored for various athletic wear needs.

We also explore different levels of compression achieved through diverse fiber blends and yarn types, providing options for athletic apparel.

While elastane enhances performance, we address sustainability concerns related to its petroleum-based composition.
