Softretch® — The Fabric Platform Behind RYZ
The Fabric
Softretch®: Performance that feels like luxury
Softretch® is RYZ's proprietary dual-brushed blend (approx. 82% polyamide / 18% spandex), engineered to blur the line between studio performance and street polish — our definition of Active Fashion. Every property below is there for a reason: it's what makes the fabric work for the way you actually move through a day.
What Softretch® does
- 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.
About Softretch®
What makes Softretch® different from regular activewear fabrics?
Softretch® is dual-brushed for a luxe hand-feel, offers true 4-way stretch, and is engineered for moisture management, colour stability, and pill resistance — so it performs hard and looks refined.
