This Power Mesh Knit is built for brands whose Base Layers programme needs next-to-skin comfort with continuous moisture movement without a complicated supply chain. Knitted from recycled polyester spandex with coffee ground filament, it offers odour control combined with a credible recycled content story, and the construction is engineered so that Cooling Ice-Feel.

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
- 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: 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 Base Layers and for the accessories around them. next-to-skin comfort with continuous moisture movement 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.
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.
