    I genuinely don’t understand why this isn’t trending and doesn’t have millions of views I feel like no one even knows what polyester even is!?!

    thanks for this video! Very informative, and easy to understand. What really sucks is that athletic clothes is often made with polyester blends, and because you sweat wearing it, those microplastics are going to be washed in washing machines more often! yikes!

      Pleasure! Exactly, on point.

      Polyester doesn't make you sweat. Sweating is a function of the human body and it's temperature control mechanism. What some polyester fabrics don't do well, is wicking the moisture away. It depends on the structure of the filaments in the yarn and the weave of the fabric. Cotton is comfortable. The fibres absorb moisture, but they also hold on to it for hours, and they lose heat hundreds of times more quickly when wet... which is why sportswear isn't made of cotton.

    Not to be forgotten that there are different type of polyesters, nowadays bio-polyesters are also commercially available.

    The worst thing is most of the time polyester is used to make clothes!

      True! Polyester is everywhere!

      You could argue that cotton isn't renewable either since it destroys ecosystems and requires over 10x more water,

    The breathability or lack thereof correlates more to the density of the weave and than the polyester itself, I’ll tighter weave means less breathability/air permeability

    • @BeateMyburgh
      @BeateMyburgh  4 года назад

      I completely agree that wovens vs knits vs interlock knit vs jersey knits makes a difference in the breathability of almost all fabrics and textiles. However, synthetics do not score high on the breathability scale in comparison to their counterparts.

    I love to wear Suits out of Polyester fabrics. As you say: does not wrinkle to much, easy to clean. Not to sweat in them, i am wearing shirts and underwear out of cotton. That solves the problem of sweating. Cleaning is easy: i leave suits on, when having a shower, or have a nice relaxing foamy spa in them on sundays.
    They dry easy look like new afterwards and smells good (comes from bathing lotion). I remember commercials in TV beginning 1960s, that you can even jump in the swimming pool in these Suit and have a swimm (what i´m frequently doeing). Tons of fun ....

      Try smartwool underwear, quite pricey but worth it. Try them for a week and you won’t go back to cotton

    I just heard Polydex fabrics? Are they the same with Polyester 😅

    • @BeateMyburgh
      @BeateMyburgh  3 года назад

      I see it is a new sports fabric. Yes they will share many properties, but seems like an improved version.
      You can have a look at this video as well:

    Is it healthy to wear? Does the fibers get in your skin? Cause cancer? Toxic chemicals?
    Thank you for your video!

    • @BeateMyburgh
      @BeateMyburgh  2 года назад

      I don't like wearing it and I know some people with sensitive skin also have trouble wearing it. This Doctor also talks about natural fibers over synthetic for people with sensitive skin: ruclips.net/video/915JRfH-Jsk/видео.html
