Why Softretch® Just Feels Better

We didn’t set out to invent a new fabric. We set out to perfect how premium activewear feels and performs on real bodies, all day.

Softretch® starts with a super-premium polyamide/nylon blend (with elastane for stretch) sourced from the same world-class mill that supplies the global category leader. Then we apply our own enhancement process—light brushing inside and out for a cloud-soft handfeel—followed by strict, batch-wise QC. The result is a fabric that’s reassuringly soft, gently supportive, and built to move: Soft That Holds You.

We don’t claim to “invent.” Others can market “innovative tech.” Our promise is simpler: the best mill, refined finishing, and uncompromising quality control to deliver a feel you can trust, every single wear.

5 Reasons Softretch® Feels Different

1) Velvet-soft handfeel—without the heat

A micro-light brush on both sides lifts the surface just enough to feel plush while keeping airflow open. Translation: cozy to the touch, never stuffy mid-workout or on airport days.

What you’ll notice: no scratch, no cling, no “plastic” shine—just a matte, modern finish.

2) Holds you gently, lets you breathe

Engineered with 4-way stretch and high recovery, Softretch® offers light compression that smooths without squeeze. It moves with you, then bounces back—so knees, waist, and seat don’t bag out by evening.

What you’ll notice: a “hug” fit that supports runs, reformer days, and coffee runs alike.

3) Sweat-smart comfort

The yarns are selected for fast moisture pickup and quick dry-down. Pair that with the dual-brush finish and you get a surface that doesn’t feel clammy—just quietly dry and comfortable.

What you’ll notice: less micro-cling, fewer sweat shadows, and faster post-session cool-down.

4) Built for real life: pill-resistant & color-true

From lab rub tests to crocking and wash fastness, we QC each dye lot so your blacks stay deep and your colors stay confident. The surface finish is tuned to resist pilling from everyday friction (bags, benches, barbells).

What you’ll notice: your favorites keep looking premium—wash after wash.

5) Second-skin smoothness

Softretch® is designed to play beautifully with construction: stitch-light seams, clean hems, and smooth waistbands. That means less rub on skin and a cleaner line under tees and jackets.

What you’ll notice: no scratchy edges, no bulky seams—just a sleek silhouette.


What makes Softretch® Softretch® (not just “another nylon blend”)

  • Sourcing at the top: polyamide/nylon from the same factory as the global leader, chosen for yarn quality, consistency, and compliance.
  • Dual-side, micro-light brushing: adds tactility without trapping heat.
  • Tight spec controls: GSM, stretch %, recovery, pilling, shade consistency—tested lot by lot.
  • RYZ enhancement process: our finishing + make standards elevate the base cloth into Softretch®.
  • Responsible longevity: fewer replacements, more wears—better value and less waste.
Subtle truth: buzzwords don’t keep leggings from pilling or colors from fading. Fabric quality + finishing + QC do. That’s the Softretch® difference.

FAQs

Is Softretch® the same as polyester?

No. Softretch® uses a polyamide/nylon base with elastane, finished to our spec. It’s softer to the touch and recovers beautifully.

Does it get hot?

The dual-side light brush is breathability-friendly. Expect cozy touch without trapped heat.

Will it pill?

We test for pilling and abrasion and tune construction to minimize it. Avoid rough Velcro and harsh dryers to extend life.

Is it squat-proof?

Yes—coverage and recovery are part of our QC gates. Choose your correct size for best results.

How does it compare to “innovative tech” fabrics?

We don’t posture about invention. We rely on elite sourcing + careful finishing + disciplined QC to deliver feel, hold, and longevity you can measure in wears.
