Training Wear Stretch Fabric

At 170 GSM, this mid‑weight textile occupies the “sweet spot” for performance apparel: sufficiently robust to withstand rigorous use, yet breathably light for extended wear. The matte surface eliminates unsightly gloss, lending a refined, contemporary aesthetic that pairs effortlessly with minimalist sportswear silhouettes. Its 75D+40D filament construction ensures tensile strength without compromising drape, allowing garments to flex and return with the body’s natural biomechanics.

Engineered for Real‑World Intensity

This knit excels under dynamic training loads:

• Elastic memory – superior recovery prevents bagging or sagging, even after repeated deep squats, lunges, or cycling sprints.

• Moisture management – rapid wicking and quick‑dry technology actively transport perspiration away from skin, maintaining a cool, dry microclimate.

• Surface durability – high abrasion resistance and anti‑pilling properties ensure a “like‑new” appearance through frequent washing and friction against equipment.

• Skin‑centric comfort – the soft, smooth hand feel minimizes irritation, making it ideal for compression fits and second‑skin layers.

From compression tights and base layers to ergonomic training tops, this fabric supports natural freedom of movement while preserving garment structure—eliminating the trade‑off between stretch and support.

Technical Data Sheet

Versatile Applications Across Seasons

This stretch fabric shines particularly in spring/summer collections, where breathability and lightness are paramount. It is widely adopted for:

• Yoga & Pilates – offers freedom for deep stretching with a non‑restrictive feel.

• High‑intensity training – withstands explosive movements while maintaining compression.

• Running & cycling – aerodynamic fit with moisture control for outdoor or studio environments.

• Athleisure – transitions effortlessly from workout to street wear, thanks to its low‑glare matte finish and clean drape.

The fabric’s low‑reflectance surface also performs favourably under varied lighting—whether indoor studio spots or bright sunlight—while its breathability ensures thermal regulation across diverse training settings.

We aim to be more than a supplier—we are a reliable technical partner for brands seeking consistent, high‑grade stretch fabrics.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How well does the fabric retain stretch after repeated laundering? Exceptional. The 12% spandex, combined with our specific knitting parameters, ensures outstanding elastic recovery even after 30+ industrial or home wash cycles—compression garments maintain their original fit and support.

2. Can this knit accept sublimation printing? Absolutely. The high polyester content provides an ideal substrate for vibrant, long‑lasting sublimation prints with excellent colour fastness and detail definition—perfect for bold athletic graphics.

3. What is the MOQ for custom colour orders? Standard MOQ ranges from 300–500 metres per colour, depending on complexity. We also welcome smaller trial quantities (100–200 m) for new brand partnerships to facilitate sampling and market testing.

4. How does it handle heavy sweating during intense sessions? The fabric’s hydrophilic yarn structure and open‑knit construction work synergistically to pull moisture away from the skin and accelerate evaporation, significantly reducing cling and discomfort during high‑output activities.

5. Can you produce different weights or finishes? Yes. While 170 GSM is our baseline for this construction, we can engineer lighter (150 GSM) or heavier (190+ GSM) variants—as well as add finishes like brushed backing or anti‑microbial treatments—based on your end‑use requirements.

6. What export packaging options are offered? We provide standard roll packing, double‑folded rolls, and customised export cartons with moisture‑barrier liners and edge protection to ensure your order arrives in pristine condition, ready for cutting and sewing.
