Meet the New Bela Apparel Collection. Padel Clothing for the Modern Athlete
Discover our latest apparel collection for padel, co-designed with the legendary Fernando Belasteguin, offering comfort and performance for the modern athlete.
How to Dress for Playing Padel
When it comes to playing padel, your top priorities should always be comfort and performance. Padel is a dynamic sport that involves quick movements and frequent changes in direction, so your clothing should be functional and comfortable.
Here are some key factors you might consider when selecting your padel apparel: material, fit, comfort, protection, and durability.
Your clothes should enable you to play comfortably, move freely, stay dry, and remain cool during intense matches. Look for clothing with flat seams or seamless construction to prevent irritation during play and opt for stretchy fabrics for enhanced flexibility. Depending on the weather, consider moisture-wicking pieces for cooler days and lightweight, breathable materials for warmer conditions. Additionally, prioritize quality and durable pieces that maintain their shape and withstand repeated use and washes.
All these factors have been carefully considered in the design of the Bela Apparel Collection.
Breaking Down the Bela Padel Collection
When it comes to understanding the needs of padel players, few are as knowledgeable as Fernando Belasteguin. The Argentinian padel legend and Wilson Padel Ambassador, who held the title of the world's best padel player for an astounding 16 consecutive years, has made a significant contribution to designing a collection engineered to offer the perfect blend of design and functionality for the modern padel player.
It reflects his deep passion and dedication to padel while catering to the needs of today's padel players. This collection is designed to enhance your concentration on the court, free from distractions, and take your comfort to the next level.
Let's take a closer look at some of the remarkable properties our designers have incorporated into this apparel line, making it the ultimate choice for padel enthusiasts.
Garment Properties In our Padel Apparel Collection
Moisture-Wicking: Don't let water or sweat hold you back. Our technology efficiently wicks moisture away from your skin, ensuring a quick-drying, weightless feel.
Quick-Drying: Imagine a single drop of moisture hitting the surface of our Quick-Drying items. With topical, inherent, or fabric treatments, moisture spreads across the surface, allowing for quicker evaporation and faster garment drying.
Our Zip Henley Polo, for instance, keeps you cool and sharp even in the heat of the court.
Stretch: Any material can stretch, but our two- and four-way stretch materials, whether knit or woven, retain their original shape even after multiple wears. This means your clothes move with you, offering flexibility and comfort.
Try our high-stretch and sweat-wicking polo for a workout without limitations. This piece has a seamless construction that enables you to move freely and easily without feeling resistance, friction or pull from it. Discover how the polo looks in motion in the following video:
Or opt for the crew tee version if you’re not a polo guy.
Compressive: Our Compression fabric offers a snug fit, keeping your muscles warm and providing the support needed for padel. It's ideal for leggings and undershorts, enhancing your performance and recovery. We know just how much compression to provide and in what pieces so that your garment feels like a warm hug.
Anti-Odor: Say goodbye to unpleasant odors. Our Anti-Odor fabric prevents the multiplication of odor-causing bacteria, ensuring your clothes stay fresh.
Ventilating: Certain fabric items have cooling features knitted or woven into them, lowering your body temperature, and enhancing comfort.
Breathable: Our Breathable fabric is designed to allow air to pass through, keeping you dry, comfortable, and cool. This is important for garments in which you're likely to heat up.
Now that you're familiar with the technologies behind our padel apparel, don't forget to consider accessories like wristbands, headbands, and caps to manage sweat and keep it out of your eyes during play.
Bela Padel Shoes
No padel look is complete without the right footwear. And, when it comes to playing padel, footwear is crucial to feel comfortable, prevent injuries, and enhance performance. Padel-specific shoes are available and are designed for the unique demands of the sport. They typically have a good grip, lateral support, and cushioning to help you move and pivot efficiently on the court.
To round-up your padel ensemble, we’ve e co-designed the first signature shoe for padel together with Fernando “Bela”. Wilson’s Bela Pro Padel Shoe combines the freedom of rotation, torsion control, and all-over stability to empower you to make game-changing moves.
