A production-ready Power Mesh Knit for Leggings, specified around squat-proof coverage and recovery at the knee and seat. Composition is core-spun polyester with a cotton-like sheath, which delivers natural surface comfort with the drying speed of a synthetic. Every lot is finished and tested so that Quick-Dry is measurable rather than claimed.

Why this construction works
Because a high modulus warp knit mesh is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: controlled support at very low weight with maximum air exchange. 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
- Quick-Dry: releases absorbed moisture fast enough to be ready for the next session, measured by AATCC 199 drying rate.
- Hand and comfort: natural surface comfort with the drying speed of a synthetic.
- Construction benefit: controlled support at very low weight with maximum air exchange.
- 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 Leggings and for the accessories around them. squat-proof coverage and recovery at the knee and seat 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

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.
