From Activewear to Active Fashion—RYZ® Fabrics for a Sports-Lifestyle
At RYZ® (pronounced RISE), fabric is where our design story begins. We build pieces that perform in the studio, look elevated on the street, and last in your wardrobe. This page breaks down our two core pillars: our proprietary Softretch® and our RYZ Basics poly-spandex series with advanced N95 coating—both crafted for movement, comfort, and daily wear.
Softretch®: Performance that feels like luxury
Softretch® is our proprietary dual-brushed blend (approx. 82% polyamide / 18% spandex) sourced from elite mills that also power the world’s top luxury sports-lifestyle brands. It’s engineered to blur the line between studio performance and street polish—our definition of Active Fashion.
- Luxe hand-feel: dual-brushed, cloud-soft against skin.
- 4-way stretch: unrestricted movement with sculpted hold.
- Moisture-wicking & quick-dry: built for demanding workouts and hot days.
- Low maintenance: anti-wrinkle finish; pill-resistant; colour-stable.
- Lightweight & breathable: comfort from warm-up to wind-down.
- Built to last: quality-checked lot-by-lot for consistent performance.
Softretch® turns technical fabric into everyday polish—so you can train, travel, or head to a coffee meet right after.
RYZ Basics: Not so basic—poly-spandex with N95 coating
Our Basics collection proves essentials can be exceptional. We use a high-grade poly-spandex base and enhance it with our advanced N95 coating—a premium finish formulated for everyday performance and easy care.
- Colour-locking: resists fading for richer, longer-lasting hues.
- Anti-odour: keeps you feeling fresher between washes.
- Shape retention: maintains form and recovery wear after wear.
- Smooth, structured feel: versatile for workouts and daily dressing.
If it carries our name, it carries our care—meticulous finishing, consistent quality, and thoughtful design.
Why it matters: from activewear to Active Fashion & sports-lifestyle
We’re building RYZ® as a sports-lifestyle brand. That means our fabrics must perform like the best training gear and present like modern, minimal fashion. Softretch® delivers the luxe hand-feel and mobility you crave; RYZ Basics brings day-to-day reliability with smart finishing. Together, they enable outfits that move from studio to street—effortlessly.
It’s how we elevate everyday motion into a lifestyle: clothes you don’t just work out in—you live in.
