Nylon Spandex Copper Ion Filament Moisture-Wicking Double Knit is a stable double-knit construction developed for Hoodies and Joggers where warmth without bulk and a stable brushed 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 Moisture-Wicking in daily use rather than only in a laboratory.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a stable double-knit construction means body and firmness without any need for lining, and that structure is what allows the fabric to moves sweat from the skin to the outer face so the wearer stays dry under the conditions Hoodies and Joggers actually face.

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.
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.
