Developed for Cycling Jerseys, this Single Jersey Knit answers the most common brief we receive: aerodynamic fit with a stable print surface. The yarn package is polyester spandex with graphene modified filament, chosen because it provides thermal regulation and far infrared behaviour from the yarn itself, and the finished cloth is set and tested so that Antibacterial Anti-Odor.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a plain single-bed knit means the lightest way to get coverage, with good stretch and a clean surface for printing, and that structure is what allows the fabric to stops the bacteria that turn sweat into odour under the conditions Cycling Jerseys actually face.

Performance features
- Antibacterial Anti-Odor: stops the bacteria that turn sweat into odour, measured by ISO 20743 antibacterial test.
- Hand and comfort: thermal regulation and far infrared behaviour from the yarn itself.
- Construction benefit: the lightest way to get coverage, with good stretch and a clean surface for printing.
- 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
The first choice for Cycling Jerseys, where aerodynamic fit with a stable print surface is the requirement that decides the fabric. It also converts cleanly into coordinated pieces in the same programme, since the hand and the shade run together.

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.
