What is Hijood?
Hijood is a piece of sportswear for Muslim women who are designed to help them adapt to the standards of Muslim modesty while staying active and maintaining their comfort and freedom of movement. Hijoods produces Australian company Ahiida Sportswear, which specializes in sportswear for Muslim women, including Burqini ™. The name is portmanteau "hijab" and "hood". While in public, modest Muslim women cover all their bodies with exceptions from their hands, legs and faces. Details of hijab differ worldwide and, depending on the personal beliefs of the wearer, but many women wear a modest scarf, also called hijab, to a minimum. Hijab may seem confusing or strange for some non -Muslims, but for many Muslims it is an important part of religious faith.
Aheda Zanetti, the Hijood developer, realized that Muslim women need a hijab version to wear during a sport that would keep their hair covered and allow them to move freely. YouShe wrapped the hood that fits comfortably around her face and chin, with a pocket at the back to keep her hair tucking her hair. When wearing hijood, women can participate in a number of active sports without worrying that their hair could show up.
Hijood made subtitles around the world in 2006, when Burqini ™ was released into a large fanfare among Muslim women. Hijood does not interfere with the ability of a woman to do sports and remains safe on his head so that the wearer can focus on the task than to worry about her modesty. Hijood is an integral part of Burqini ™ and ensures that the wearer's head is covered and can also be used with other sportswear.
Female Muslim athletes often have struggled with a conflict between their religious beliefs and standards in sportswear. Clothing like Hijood allows them to participate in sports at a competitive level and at the same time insist with the principles of their faith. Ahiida also puts inElky emphasis on high quality fabrics and stylish cuts, which ensures that the wearers look good and feel good. Given that some Muslim athletes were mocked or teased for their sportswear, this is an important design function.
