Developed for Running Tops, this Seamless Circular Knit answers the most common brief we receive: low weight with fast moisture transport. The yarn package is 55% nylon / 35% polyester / 10% spandex, chosen because it provides a cost-balanced hand with better abrasion life than straight nylon, and the finished cloth is set and tested so that Compression.

Why this construction works
Because a seamless circular knit is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: tubular production that removes the side seam entirely. 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
- Compression: delivers graduated support while remaining easy to put on, measured by ASTM D2594 stretch and recovery.
- Hand and comfort: a cost-balanced hand with better abrasion life than straight nylon.
- Construction benefit: tubular production that removes the side seam entirely.
- 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 Running Tops and for the accessories around them. low weight with fast moisture transport is the reason it is chosen, and the fabric bonds, prints and sews on standard machinery without special settings.
Compression fabric prepared for Running Tops 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 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.
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.
