Polyester Elastane Chitosan Finish Antibacterial Anti-Odor Seamless Circular Knit is a seamless circular knit developed for Running Tops where low weight with fast moisture transport decides whether a style succeeds. The base is polyester elastane with a bio-based chitosan finish, which gives a bio-derived antibacterial route for restricted substance sensitive programmes. The result is a fabric that delivers Antibacterial Anti-Odor in daily use rather than only in a laboratory.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a seamless circular knit means tubular production that removes the side seam entirely, and that structure is what allows the fabric to stops the bacteria that turn sweat into odour under the conditions Running Tops actually face.

Performance features
- Antibacterial Anti-Odor: stops the bacteria that turn sweat into odour, measured by ISO 20743 antibacterial test.
- Hand and comfort: a bio-derived antibacterial route for restricted substance sensitive programmes.
- Construction benefit: tubular production that removes the side seam entirely.
- 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 Running Tops, where low weight with fast moisture transport 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.
Can the weight and width be changed? Yes. Most programmes run between 140 and 340 GSM, and width can be set between 150 and 180 cm to match your marker. Changing weight changes cover and stretch, so we re-test before confirming.
