Nylon Spandex Silver Ion Yarn Compression Rib Knit combines nylon spandex with silver ion filament with a Rib Knit construction. It is aimed at Team Uniforms that require durability, colour consistency and easy care, and the reason is straightforward: antibacterial performance that survives repeated home laundering, so Compression.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a rib knit means high extension across the width with clean recovery, ideal for cuffs and bands, and that structure is what allows the fabric to delivers graduated support while remaining easy to put on under the conditions Team Uniforms actually face.

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.
