A production-ready Brushed Fleece Knit for Leggings, specified around squat-proof coverage and recovery at the knee and seat. Composition is 50% polyester / 42% polyamide / 8% elastane, which delivers a dense surface that takes sublimation print cleanly. Every lot is finished and tested so that Moisture-Wicking is measurable rather than claimed.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a brushed back fleece knit means a soft inner face that traps warm air without heavy weight, and that structure is what allows the fabric to moves sweat from the skin to the outer face so the wearer stays dry under the conditions Leggings actually face.

Recommended applications
The first choice for Leggings, where squat-proof coverage and recovery at the knee and seat is the requirement that decides the fabric. It also converts cleanly into coordinated pieces in the same programme, since the hand and the shade run together.

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.
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.
