A production-ready Ponte Roma Knit for Base Layers, specified around next-to-skin comfort with continuous moisture movement. Composition is nylon 66 filament with high tenacity spandex, which delivers higher melt point and better abrasion resistance for demanding uses. Every lot is finished and tested so that Compression is measurable rather than claimed.

Why this construction works
Performance comes from three decisions: the yarn, the stitch and the finishing route. nylon 66 filament with high tenacity spandex supplies the base behaviour, a firm ponte roma double knit sets how air and moisture move, and finishing is kept deliberately light so the attributes survive washing.

Performance features
- Compression: delivers graduated support while remaining easy to put on, measured by ASTM D2594 stretch and recovery.
- Hand and comfort: higher melt point and better abrasion resistance for demanding uses.
- Construction benefit: a clean, structured surface with enough hold for tailored athleisure.
- 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
Specified mainly for Base Layers, and suited to any programme where next-to-skin comfort with continuous moisture movement is written into the brief. Designers use the same base for matching styles, which keeps colour continuity simple across a collection.

Dyeing, finishing and customisation
Dyeing runs on a controlled recipe with consolidated dye lots to hold shade continuity. Finishing options include wicking, antibacterial, soft touch and anti-pilling, applied after lab trials so the hand approved in sampling is the hand delivered in bulk.
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
Sampling is fast: A4 hand feel cards, laboratory dips and a 5 metre trial roll within a week. Bulk runs in 20-25 days, with inline inspection and a final random inspection before packing.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
