78% Recycled Nylon 22% Spandex Cooling Ice-Feel Power Mesh Knit is a high modulus warp knit mesh developed for Tennis and Golf Wear where sun protection with a clean, structured appearance decides whether a style succeeds. The base is 78% GRS recycled nylon / 22% spandex, which gives virgin nylon performance with a documented recycled content claim. The result is a fabric that delivers Cooling Ice-Feel 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 gives an instant cool touch and spreads heat away from the body under the conditions Tennis and Golf Wear actually face.

Performance features
- Cooling Ice-Feel: gives an instant cool touch and spreads heat away from the body, measured by contact cool feeling measurement (Q-max).
- Hand and comfort: virgin nylon performance with a documented recycled content claim.
- 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 Tennis and Golf Wear, where sun protection with a clean, structured appearance 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 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.
Is the performance tested on every lot? Yes. The named test method is repeated on bulk fabric, not only on the approval sample, and the report carries the lot number so results can be traced back.
