87% Polyester 13% Spandex Brushed Cooling Ice-Feel Single Jersey Knit combines 87% polyester / 13% spandex, brushed face with a Single Jersey Knit construction. It is aimed at Training Shorts that require abrasion resistance plus a comfortable liner, and the reason is straightforward: a peach-skin surface without any heavy softening bath, so Cooling Ice-Feel.

Why this construction works
Because a plain single-bed knit is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: the lightest way to get coverage, with good stretch and a clean surface for printing. That consistency is what lets a factory cut confidently and lets a brand repeat an order a season later with the same result.

Performance features
- Cooling Ice-Feel: gives an instant cool touch and spreads heat away from the body, measured by contact cool feeling measurement (Q-max).
- Hand and comfort: a peach-skin surface without any heavy softening bath.
- Construction benefit: the lightest way to get coverage, with good stretch and a clean surface for printing.
- 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
Used for Training Shorts and for the accessories around them. abrasion resistance plus a comfortable liner is the reason it is chosen, and the fabric bonds, prints and sews on standard machinery without special settings.

Dyeing, finishing and customisation
The fabric can be supplied greige, piece dyed or printed. Add-on finishes are selected after a wash durability trial, because a finish that disappears after five washes is worse than no claim at all.
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
Minimum trial order is 300 metres per colour and bulk production takes 20-25 days once the approval sample is signed. Documentation includes test reports per lot, OEKO-TEX conformity and full construction sheets.

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.
