Polyester Polyamide Elastane Blend Moisture-Wicking Brushed Fleece Knit is a brushed back fleece knit developed for Cycling Jerseys where aerodynamic fit with a stable print surface decides whether a style succeeds. The base is 50% polyester / 42% polyamide / 8% elastane, which gives a dense surface that takes sublimation print cleanly. The result is a fabric that delivers Moisture-Wicking in daily use rather than only in a laboratory.

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 Cycling Jerseys actually face.

Performance features
- Moisture-Wicking: moves sweat from the skin to the outer face so the wearer stays dry, measured by AATCC 195 moisture management.
- Hand and comfort: a dense surface that takes sublimation print cleanly.
- Construction benefit: a soft inner face that traps warm air without heavy weight.
- 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
The first choice for Cycling Jerseys, where aerodynamic fit with a stable print surface 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
What is the minimum for a first order? Development starts at 300 metres per colour, which is enough for a proper wear trial and a small capsule. Bulk pricing improves at 1,000 metres and above per colour.
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.
