75% Nylon 25% Spandex Quick-Dry Power Mesh Knit is a high modulus warp knit mesh developed for Sports Bras where controlled support and soft contact at the underband decides whether a style succeeds. The base is 75% nylon 6 filament / 25% spandex, which gives higher power for compression grades that still run on standard knitting machines. The result is a fabric that delivers Quick-Dry in daily use rather than only in a laboratory.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a high modulus warp knit mesh means controlled support at very low weight with maximum air exchange, and that structure is what allows the fabric to releases absorbed moisture fast enough to be ready for the next session under the conditions Sports Bras actually face.

Performance features
- Quick-Dry: releases absorbed moisture fast enough to be ready for the next session, measured by AATCC 199 drying rate.
- Hand and comfort: higher power for compression grades that still run on standard knitting machines.
- Construction benefit: controlled support at very low weight with maximum air exchange.
- Consistency: GSM and width tolerance are locked per lot and recorded on the inspection sheet.
- Durability: performance is verified after repeated washing, not only as delivered.
Recommended applications
The first choice for Sports Bras, where controlled support and soft contact at the underband is the requirement that decides the fabric. It also converts cleanly into coordinated pieces in the same programme, since the hand and the shade run together.

Dyeing, finishing and customisation
Available in piece dyed, yarn dyed or sublimation ready form. Functional finishes such as moisture management, antibacterial, anti-pilling and UV absorption can be applied individually or combined, and each is verified against its test method before bulk release.
Care instructions
- Machine wash at 30 degrees with mild detergent, no fabric softener.
- Dry away from direct heat and do not tumble dry hot.
- Cool iron on the reverse if needed, and avoid bleach.
Ordering, sampling and quality control
Trial quantity starts at 300 metres per colour with laboratory dips in five working days. Bulk lead time is 20-25 days after approval, and every lot ships with a test report, a shade check and an inspection record.

Frequently asked questions
Can we get recycled content with this construction? In most cases yes. GRS certified recycled nylon or polyester can replace the virgin yarn with full chain of custody documents, usually with no visible change in hand or performance.
What is the minimum for a first order? Development starts at 300 metres per colour, which is enough for a proper wear trial and a small capsule. Bulk pricing improves at 1,000 metres and above per colour.
