AI Technical Summary
Existing sportswear lacks a systematic sweat-guiding structure, causing sweat to accumulate in localized areas, affecting athletic performance and comfort, especially in high-temperature and high-humidity environments, where it is difficult to provide effective pressure support.
The garment employs a microcavity moisture-wicking compression structure, using seamless one-piece molding technology to form a regularly distributed network of microcavities in the chest and back areas. Combined with polypropylene yarn, this creates unidirectional moisture-wicking textile channels, enabling rapid transfer and diffusion of sweat. A lightweight compression support layer with gradient pressure distribution is also formed on the back.
It achieves efficient sweat collection, diffusion, and wicking, providing a quick-drying experience and close-fitting warmth to meet the needs of high-intensity exercise, while also providing ergonomic muscle support to enhance athletic performance and comfort.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sportswear technology, and in particular to a sportswear with a zoned pressure support structure. Background Technology
[0002] Sportswear refers to clothing specifically designed for sports competitions. In a broader sense, it also includes clothing worn for outdoor sports activities. Sportswear is typically designed and manufactured according to the specific requirements of each sport. It is mainly divided into nine categories: track and field apparel, ball sports apparel, water sports apparel, ice sports apparel, weightlifting apparel, wrestling apparel, gymnastics apparel, mountaineering apparel, and fencing apparel. The core purpose of sportswear is to enhance athletic performance, ensure safety, and provide comfort. Depending on the specific needs of different sports, sportswear can be categorized into tight-fitting, loose-fitting, and compression styles, suitable for different activities such as running, basketball, and yoga.
[0003] When using existing sportswear, although traditional sportswear fabrics have a certain degree of moisture absorption and some sportswear uses mesh or breathable designs, they lack a systematic sweat-guiding structure, making it impossible to achieve efficient and targeted sweat wicking. Sweat tends to accumulate in localized areas and cannot quickly spread to a larger area to accelerate evaporation, resulting in clothing that clings to the skin and feels sticky. This is especially noticeable in hot and humid environments, where sweat retention can easily cause skin discomfort, increase the burden of exercise, and make it difficult to provide effective pressure support to local muscles, thus affecting athletic performance.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a sportswear with a zoned pressure support structure to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sportswear garment with a zoned pressure support structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution to the aforementioned technical problems: a sports garment with a zoned pressure support structure, comprising a sports top and sports pants. The sports top is provided with a micro-cavity moisture-wicking compression structure, which is made using seamless one-piece molding technology. The micro-cavity moisture-wicking compression structure is composed of a three-dimensional fabric system consisting of finely porous units. A regularly distributed network of micro-cavities is formed inside the fabric, and the cavities are connected by precisely arranged compression channels. The micro-cavity moisture-wicking compression structure is located in the chest and back areas of the sports top.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this invention, the microcavity moisture-wicking and compression structure includes a gradient microcavity group formed by a yarn loop structure, with cavities of different sizes working in conjunction with the flow-guiding and compression channels to form a rapid sweat transport path.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this invention, the microcavity moisture-wicking compression structure is constructed using polypropylene-covered yarn to form a one-way moisture-wicking textile channel, creating a micro-one-way moisture-wicking effect from the inside out.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this invention, the microcavity moisture-wicking compression structure in the back region forms a lightweight compression support layer with a gradient pressure distribution.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this invention, the microcavity moisture-wicking compression fabric is integrally woven using a circular knitting machine.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this invention, the microcavity moisture-wicking compression fabric is woven using a two-color yarn-adding process.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this invention, the microcavity moisture-wicking compression tissues in the chest region and the back region are respectively equipped with different cavity densities and channel arrangement parameters.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the cavity units of the micro cavity network are arranged in a honeycomb pattern, the sports top is provided with sleeves, and the shoulders of the sports top are provided with patterns.
