Polyester Elastane Chitosan Finish Thermal Brushed Rib Knit combines polyester elastane with a bio-based chitosan finish with a Rib Knit construction. It is aimed at Tennis and Golf Wear that require sun protection with a clean, structured appearance, and the reason is straightforward: a bio-derived antibacterial route for restricted substance sensitive programmes, so Thermal Brushed.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a rib knit means high extension across the width with clean recovery, ideal for cuffs and bands, and that structure is what allows the fabric to traps warm air while staying light enough for active use under the conditions Tennis and Golf Wear actually face.

Performance features
- Thermal Brushed: traps warm air while staying light enough for active use, measured by ISO 11092 thermal resistance.
- Hand and comfort: a bio-derived antibacterial route for restricted substance sensitive programmes.
- Construction benefit: high extension across the width with clean recovery, ideal for cuffs and bands.
- 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 Tennis and Golf Wear, where sun protection with a clean, structured appearance 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
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.
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.
