Nylon Spandex Copper Ion Filament Antibacterial Anti-Odor Single Jersey Knit is a plain single-bed knit developed for Cycling Jerseys where aerodynamic fit with a stable print surface decides whether a style succeeds. The base is nylon spandex with copper bearing filament, which gives antibacterial action plus faster heat transfer away from the skin. The result is a fabric that delivers Antibacterial Anti-Odor in daily use rather than only in a laboratory.

Why this construction works
Because a plain single-bed knit is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: the lightest way to get coverage, with good stretch and a clean surface for printing. 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
- Antibacterial Anti-Odor: stops the bacteria that turn sweat into odour, measured by ISO 20743 antibacterial test.
- Hand and comfort: antibacterial action plus faster heat transfer away from the skin.
- 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
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.

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
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.
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.
