Recycled Polyester Coffee Yarn Compression Spacer Knit combines recycled polyester spandex with coffee ground filament with a Spacer Knit construction. It is aimed at Running Tops that require low weight with fast moisture transport, and the reason is straightforward: odour control combined with a credible recycled content story, so Compression.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a spacer knit with two faces means cushioning and airflow built into a single piece of fabric, and that structure is what allows the fabric to delivers graduated support while remaining easy to put on under the conditions Running Tops 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.
