Why this construction works
Performance comes from three decisions: the yarn, the stitch and the finishing route. nylon spandex with silver ion filament supplies the base behaviour, a double-bed interlock 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: antibacterial performance that survives repeated home laundering.
- Construction benefit: identical faces on both sides, so the fabric stays opaque under tension.
- 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 Leggings, and suited to any programme where squat-proof coverage and recovery at the knee and seat 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.
