2 Layer Softshell Fabric

As a reliable China fabric supplier, we offer customizable fabric solutions for bulk orders, supporting key product procurement keywords such as "2 layer softshell fabric," "cooling knitted fabric," and "high-elasticity textile for garments." Produced in our advanced textile factory in China, this fabric combines nylon-spandex blend, double-sided matte finish, and a cooling touch to serve both apparel and home textile applications.

What makes this fabric different from single-layer or shiny softshell textiles?

2 Layer Softshell Fabric uses a 40D nylon-spandex structure with a double-sided matte finish. Unlike single-layer fabrics that lack structure or shiny finishes that create glare, this material provides a balanced combination of softness, stretch, and support.

From a buyer's perspective, this textile solves three common problems:

For sportswear brands – fabrics that lose elasticity after multiple washes. This product maintains shape recovery.

For home textile buyers – bedding materials that feel warm or rough. This fabric offers a cooling touch suitable for pillowcases and cooling sheets.

For casual wear manufacturers – materials that pill or fade. The textile resists pilling and retains color.

This fabric also works with dyeing, cutting, laminating, and printing processes, giving manufacturers flexibility across different product lines.

Technical reference sheet

How does the cooling touch perform in real use?

The cooling sensation of this fabric is not a chemical treatment but a structural property of the nylon-spandex combination with the double-sided matte knitting method. When skin contacts this textile , heat transfers away faster than with standard cotton or polyester fabrics.

This makes this product suitable for:

• Summer bedding (cooling sheets, pillowcases)
• Close-to-skin apparel (base layers, yoga tops)
• Warm-environment clothing (summer pants, lightweight jackets)

Independent testing on this material shows that the cooling effect remains after multiple washes, as it does not rely on surface coatings that wash off.

Elasticity and recovery: what buyers should know

This fabric achieves high elasticity through its 40D nylon-spandex yarn system and knitted construction. The spandex content (28%) provides stretch, while the nylon content (68%) provides strength and recovery.

Key performance indicators for this textile :

• Stretch ratio – comfortable expansion without over-stretching
• Recovery rate – returns to original shape after repeated use
• Resistance to bagging – does not develop loose knees or elbows

For manufacturers producing leggings, yoga wear, or fitted casual wear, this product reduces customer complaints about sagging or loss of shape after a few wears.

Durability factors: pilling, abrasion, and washing

This fabric resists pilling at grade 3-4 on standard testing scales. The double-sided matte finish reduces surface friction, which is a common cause of pill formation.

In abrasion tests, this material maintains surface integrity without excessive fuzzing. After repeated washing (tested up to 30 cycles), this textile retains color fastness at grade 4 or above.

This product does not require special laundering instructions. Standard machine washing at 30°C and low-heat drying is sufficient, which matters for end consumers who prefer low-maintenance fabrics.
