Apparel

Tennis Apparel Superstore! Tennis apparel is about more than looking good on the court. Today's athletic apparel fabrics do it all, from range of motion to comfort to keeping you cool and dry. Fabric materials come in a few basic varieties that we've summarized below. Another important consideration is size. Whether it's a tennis top, shorts or skirt, fit is your first concern because no hi-tech fabric can overcome a poor fit. Use our apparel size charts in our Buyer's Guide if you have any doubts. Plus, we feature plus size ladies tennis apparel from In-Between Sportswear.

Hi-Tech Tennis Fabrics
Here is a brief summary of the types of synthetic fabrics used in Yonex, Prince, Balle de Match and other brands you'll find here.

Lycra® - When you hear Lycra® , think shape retention and tight fit. Many tennis clothes blend Lycra® in small percentages (less than 10% typically) with other materials to get good stretchiness and durability with a touch of sheen.
Coolmax® - With Coolmax® you stay, well, cool to the max! This fabric is a champ at managing moisture and wicking it away from your body.
Spandex® - Another popular fabric used in ladies tennis apparel is Spandex®. Typically used in a blend with other materials, Spandex gives stretch and shape to an item, much like Lycra®.
Yip-Dry® - This proprietary fabric is found in most Balle-de-Match apparel. It is a fast-drying, moisture-removing material.
