OISELLE FABRICS
LUX
Classic Lux
SOFT
LIGHT-STRETCH
MIDWEIGHT
89% polyester/ 11% spandex, bluesign® approved
When polyester met spandex, they created the Goldilocks (or should we say Goldilux?) of running fabric: Classic Lux. It’s warm without being too hot, light but still substantial, thick but not too thick. It’s so soft that it’s easy to forget how hardworking it is, and that beautiful juxtaposition has led to it being an absolute Oiselle staple for many years. It works beautifully in tops and bottoms, and we’re always finding new ways to use it. We (and you!) love its wicking capability and how easily it breathes, and the spandex provides the right amount of stretch that stays durable after washing…and somehow continues to get even more soft. Also available in Light and Heavy versions.

Its airy, not-too-absorbent knit dries quickly, keeping you comfortable on the hottest days.

Made for the most discerning athletes, Plya is our pinnacle compression fabric, designed for high performance during the highest-intensity workouts. Plya is a second skin made of bluesign®-approved polyester and spandex, hugging your body while providing the utmost stretch – and recovery. High support doesn’t mean heavy —compression fabrics are often thicker but that isn’t the case here; it’s lightweight with a cool handfeel. Thanks to interlock construction, it works as hard as you do and still provides supreme coverage.

The reflective version of our high-performing Plya compression fabric is a result of research, innovation, and an unmet need in our community — running in the dark. Our Firecracker line helps women achieve their running goals safely with our high performance, reflective tonal print fabric that shines in the dark to make those early morning or evening runs more safe. Everything we love about our original Plya fabric still applies (light weight, cool handful, compressive, soft) and the high-quality reflective print is stable, washes well, and resists fading.

78% Polyester/22% Spandex, bluesign® approved
As a by women, for women brand, we’ve experienced exercising in a high-impact bra that’s nothing of the sort. That doesn’t fly for us — it’s why we created Power Plya. Power Plya is our thicker high-performance interlock knit designed for the most intense workouts. It provides major support and doesn’t give an inch when it comes to coverage. You’ll find it in our highest-support bras that we designed to work as hard as you do.

Designed to hold up to the longest runs, HoverFit™, a blend of polyester, lyocell, and spandex made by Polartec® is one of the most adaptive and technical fabrics we offer. When it comes to running gear, the best pieces are the ones so comfortable, and so optimized for your unique body and needs, that you forget they’re there altogether. As lightweight as they come, Flyout HoverFit™’s one-of-a-kind fiber structure skims the body as it moves, bringing moisture to the fabric’s surface and helping regulate drying in hot-weather conditions. Specialized knit construction, using both hydrophobic and hydrophilic yarns, gives more advanced wicking control to reduce wet-cling and increase airflow breathability for evaporation to dissipate heat, enhancing your body’s own cooling processes. Light as a cloud, and hardworking as armor, Flyout HoverFit™ will be your go-to secret weapon when major miles are ahead.

Pieces in our Flyout Chill Collection are made with innovative Brrr° Triple Chill Effect® technology that utilizes cooling minerals within the fabric that kick into action once you start heating up for a continuous cooling effect. That means washing and wearing will never ruin the effect, since it’s integrated directly into the fibers.

Float is unlike any other seamless, boasting anti-microbial properties powered by real silver integrated directly into the fibers.
