Sportswear

Having recently done some work with sportswear manufacturers it occurred to me that most of these companies are starting from ex-sportsmen or women, passionate about their sport and looking to improve their kit. However a lot of these people have no experience in fabric or garment technology.
I coming from the other direction. I have nearly 30 years experience in textiles technology and only about 5 years in amateur sport, namely cycling and swimming. I want to bring to the table the best fabrics for their sport so these new companies can go to the market safe in the knowledge that what they're offering is right up there with the best if not better than their competitor.
