Developed for Cycling Jerseys, this Power Mesh Knit answers the most common brief we receive: aerodynamic fit with a stable print surface. The yarn package is nylon spandex with silver ion filament, chosen because it provides antibacterial performance that survives repeated home laundering, and the finished cloth is set and tested so that Quick-Dry.

Why this construction works
Because a high modulus warp knit mesh is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: controlled support at very low weight with maximum air exchange. 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
- Quick-Dry: releases absorbed moisture fast enough to be ready for the next session, measured by AATCC 199 drying rate.
- Hand and comfort: antibacterial performance that survives repeated home laundering.
- Construction benefit: controlled support at very low weight with maximum air exchange.
- 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 Cycling Jerseys and for the accessories around them. aerodynamic fit with a stable print surface is the reason it is chosen, and the fabric bonds, prints and sews on standard machinery without special settings.
Quick-Dry fabric prepared for Cycling Jerseys production
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 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.
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.
