Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a warp knitted tricot means low curl, smooth and stable, which makes it easy to cut and bond, and that structure is what allows the fabric to releases absorbed moisture fast enough to be ready for the next session under the conditions Hoodies and Joggers actually face.
