Why this construction works
Because a warp knitted tricot is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: low curl, smooth and stable, which makes it easy to cut and bond. 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: odour control combined with a credible recycled content story.
- Construction benefit: low curl, smooth and stable, which makes it easy to cut and bond.
- 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 Running Tops and for the accessories around them. low weight with fast moisture transport 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.
