Ningbo Nashe Textile Co., Ltd specializes in high-performance knitted fabrics. Our UV Protection Stretch Fabric combines 85% polyester with 15% spandex to deliver reliable sun protection and excellent four-way elasticity. Designed for today's active lifestyles, this 160GSM fabric offers UPF50+ rating while maintaining outstanding comfort during movement.
This fabric stands out through its balanced performance. The high spandex content ensures superior recovery after stretching, making it ideal for garments that require freedom of motion. At the same time, the advanced moisture-wicking and quick-dry properties keep wearers dry and comfortable even during intense activity or in hot outdoor conditions. The soft, skin-friendly hand feel reduces irritation during prolonged wear.
Performance That Matters in Real Use
Beyond basic UV blocking, this stretch fabric maintains excellent breathability without sacrificing durability. It resists deformation after repeated washing and stretching, which is critical for sportswear and functional outdoor clothing. The lightweight construction (160GSM) provides a barely-there feel while still offering enough substance for professional-grade garments. Whether used in yoga leggings, cycling jerseys, running tops, or hiking shirts, the fabric delivers consistent performance across seasons.
