Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a double-bed interlock knit means identical faces on both sides, so the fabric stays opaque under tension, and that structure is what allows the fabric to blocks ultraviolet radiation for outdoor training under the conditions Yoga Sets actually face.
