Polyester Polyamide Elastane Blend Antibacterial Anti-Odor Pique Knit combines 50% polyester / 42% polyamide / 8% elastane with a Pique Knit construction. It is aimed at Running Tops that require low weight with fast moisture transport, and the reason is straightforward: a dense surface that takes sublimation print cleanly, so Antibacterial Anti-Odor.

Why this construction works
Performance comes from three decisions: the yarn, the stitch and the finishing route. 50% polyester / 42% polyamide / 8% elastane supplies the base behaviour, a textured pique knit sets how air and moisture move, and finishing is kept deliberately light so the attributes survive washing.

Performance features
- Antibacterial Anti-Odor: stops the bacteria that turn sweat into odour, measured by ISO 20743 antibacterial test.
- Hand and comfort: a dense surface that takes sublimation print cleanly.
- Construction benefit: a structured surface that hides perspiration and holds shape.
- 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
Specified mainly for Running Tops, and suited to any programme where low weight with fast moisture transport is written into the brief. Designers use the same base for matching styles, which keeps colour continuity simple across a collection.

Dyeing, finishing and customisation
Dyeing runs on a controlled recipe with consolidated dye lots to hold shade continuity. Finishing options include wicking, antibacterial, soft touch and anti-pilling, applied after lab trials so the hand approved in sampling is the hand delivered in bulk.
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
Sampling is fast: A4 hand feel cards, laboratory dips and a 5 metre trial roll within a week. Bulk runs in 20-25 days, with inline inspection and a final random inspection before packing.

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.
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.
