75% Nylon 25% Spandex Moisture-Wicking French Terry Knit combines 75% nylon 6 filament / 25% spandex with a French Terry Knit construction. It is aimed at Cycling Jerseys that require aerodynamic fit with a stable print surface, and the reason is straightforward: higher power for compression grades that still run on standard knitting machines, so Moisture-Wicking.

Why this construction works
Because a looped back French terry is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: absorbency on the inside with a flat, printable outer face. That consistency is what lets a factory cut confidently and lets a brand repeat an order a season later with the same result.

Performance features
- Moisture-Wicking: moves sweat from the skin to the outer face so the wearer stays dry, measured by AATCC 195 moisture management.
- Hand and comfort: higher power for compression grades that still run on standard knitting machines.
- Construction benefit: absorbency on the inside with a flat, printable outer face.
- 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
Used for Cycling Jerseys and for the accessories around them. aerodynamic fit with a stable print surface is the reason it is chosen, and the fabric bonds, prints and sews on standard machinery without special settings.
Moisture-Wicking fabric prepared for Cycling Jerseys production
Dyeing, finishing and customisation
The fabric can be supplied greige, piece dyed or printed. Add-on finishes are selected after a wash durability trial, because a finish that disappears after five washes is worse than no claim at all.
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
Minimum trial order is 300 metres per colour and bulk production takes 20-25 days once the approval sample is signed. Documentation includes test reports per lot, OEKO-TEX conformity and full construction sheets.

Frequently asked questions
Can the weight and width be changed? Yes. Most programmes run between 140 and 340 GSM, and width can be set between 150 and 180 cm to match your marker. Changing weight changes cover and stretch, so we re-test before confirming.
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.
