Fiber Synergy of Nylon and Spandex
The material composition of 88% Nylon and 12% Spandex delivers a highly functional textile for high-intensity sports. Nylon provides strength, abrasion resistance and good elastic recovery, ensuring the fabric withstands friction and repetitive movement on the basketball court. The integration of 12% Spandex adds high stretch with strong elastic recovery, allowing the garment to expand with the athlete's movements and return to its original shape without bagging or sagging. This combination ensures a soft hand-feel and vibrant color retention while maintaining structural endurance.
Weft Knit Single Jersey Structure
The weft knit single jersey fabric construction of Item Code B010 offers a lightweight, breathable, and flexible textile solution. The single jersey structure is inherently elastic in the horizontal direction, which, when combined with spandex, optimizes multi-directional movement. This knitting method produces a smooth face and a comfortable next-to-skin texture, making it suitable for tight-fitting athletic wear. With a weight of 159G/M2, this fabric provides sufficient opacity and coverage while remaining light enough to prevent overheating during intense basketball games.
Dimensional Stability and Width Efficiency
With a physical width of 150CM, this 159 gsm nylon spandex fabric is structured for efficient pattern layout in garment manufacturing. The stable 159G/M2 weight falls into a versatile mid-lightweight category, offering a balance between lightweight comfort and durable density. The knitted pattern is integrated directly into the textile structure, ensuring the design remains dimensional and resistant to fading through repeated wash cycles. This makes it a dependable choice for teamwear brands focusing on durability and aesthetic longevity.
