Testing and technical support services for textiles and finished garments in the athleisure, functional, comfort and leisure wear sectors.
The athleisure trend has blurred the boundaries between functional wear and leisurewear. Functional wear is no longer a niche market, but in the rapidly growing apparel market it is now seen as a sector in its own right.
Consumer awareness and claim substantiation
When purchasing an item of functional wear or athleisure wear, consumers consider garment function, performance, comfort, value for money and brand reputation in their buying decisions. Brands should ensure the functional claim(s) of the product in the marketplace must meet the performance requirements for which they are designed and therefore fulfilling client expectations.
