Polyester Spandex Bamboo Charcoal Antibacterial Anti-Odor Single Jersey Knit combines polyester spandex with charcoal loaded filament with a Single Jersey Knit construction. It is aimed at Cycling Jerseys that require aerodynamic fit with a stable print surface, and the reason is straightforward: permanent odour adsorption built into the yarn rather than the finish, so Antibacterial Anti-Odor.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a plain single-bed knit means the lightest way to get coverage, with good stretch and a clean surface for printing, and that structure is what allows the fabric to stops the bacteria that turn sweat into odour under the conditions Cycling Jerseys actually face.

- 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
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
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.
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.
