78% Recycled Nylon 22% Spandex Quick-Dry French Terry Knit combines 78% GRS recycled nylon / 22% spandex with a French Terry Knit construction. It is aimed at Tennis and Golf Wear that require sun protection with a clean, structured appearance, and the reason is straightforward: virgin nylon performance with a documented recycled content claim, so Quick-Dry.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a looped back French terry means absorbency on the inside with a flat, printable outer face, and that structure is what allows the fabric to releases absorbed moisture fast enough to be ready for the next session under the conditions Tennis and Golf Wear actually face.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
