The Blisset High Waisted Capris are constructed using a 4-way stretch interlock knit made of polyester and spandex. The material density is approximately 220 to 240 GSM, providing a soft feel that is less restrictive than medical-grade compression. The high-waisted band uses a double-layer design to provide support for the midsection during daily tasks.
The side pockets are dimensionally stable and suitable for holding standard smartphones, making them a functional addition for organizers on the move. A gusseted crotch is built into the design to reduce localized stress on the central seams. To ensure the material remains opaque, it is helpful to select a size that does not require the fabric to stretch beyond 125% of its resting state.
Longevity and Care
The synthetic fibers are sensitive to high temperatures; using a dryer on a high-heat setting can cause the elastane to snap. For a projected lifespan of over six months, air-drying is the best method to maintain the waistband's memory. As with many synthetic blends, exposure to abrasive surfaces like velcro or rough gym mats can cause the surface to pill over time.
Maintaining proper laundry care will help keep the elastic fibers supportive for longer.
