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
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.
