Our Fabric

Premium Performance Fabric

Every EQL piece is built from technical performance fabric — engineered for athletic output with the soft, refined hand of luxury ready-to-wear.

EQL activewear is made from 75% recycled nylon and 25% spandex. The nylon is reclaimed from fishing nets and ocean-bound plastic waste, which cuts CO₂ emissions by up to 80% compared with virgin nylon. Every piece is knitted at 220–280 gsm with 4-way stretch, is fully opaque under squat-test conditions, and carries UPF 50+ sun protection — built for training outdoors in Malaysian heat. Designed in Asia, built in Vietnam, cut true to size for Asian body proportions.

Anti-pilling icon

Anti-Pilling

Compact yarns and a specialised finishing process keep the fabric looking new through hundreds of wash cycles.

High-density weave delivers UPF 50+ sun protection, ideal for outdoor training and runs.


Our Sustainability Commitment

The nylon in the EQL Performance line is recycled from reclaimed fishing nets and ocean-bound plastic waste — reducing CO₂ emissions by up to 80% compared to virgin nylon.

Packaging is recyclable kraft paper printed with soy-based inks. All offcut fabric from our factory is collected and reprocessed into new yarn.


Care Instructions

  1. Machine wash cold (≤ 30°C / 86°F) inside a mesh laundry bag for fitted pieces.
  2. Skip fabric softener — it coats the fibres and reduces wicking and stretch.
  3. Hang dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
  4. No tumble drying on high heat. Do not iron or bleach.
