100gsm Nylon Spandex Matte Textured Mesh — 24% Elastane High-Stretch Performance Fabric | 65 Inch

100gsm nylon spandex matte textured mesh. 24% elastane — you feel the stretch the moment you pull it. Strong, responsive, snaps right back without hesitation. The matte finish keeps it understated — no shine, no gloss, just a clean low-key look. The textured weave gives the surface a distinct character, not flat or plain. 165cm wide, a touch wider than standard. If you need a fabric that moves with you and keeps its shape, this is it.

Built for movement. 24% spandex means strong compression and solid recovery — it won't bag out after a few wears. Nylon handles abrasion well, resists pilling, and holds its color through washing. The matte finish stays matte, wash after wash. For activewear, compression pieces, and shapewear that get worn hard and washed often, it goes the distance.

Compression tights, yoga leggings, shapewear, sports bras, base layers. Anything that needs to hug the body, move with it, and hold its shape through repeated wear. Fully opaque at 100gsm, no lining needed. If you need lighter compression, we have options with lower spandex content. If you need heavy compression for competitive sportswear, we have 200gsm and above. This one's the sweet spot — strong stretch, solid recovery, everyday durability.

1. 24% spandex — how strong is the stretch compared to lower percentages?

24% is near the top end for compression fabrics. It gives you a firm, responsive stretch that snaps back instantly. Compare that to 10-15% spandex, which gives a lighter, more relaxed stretch. If you need strong compression and shape retention, 24% is what you want. If you just need light flex for everyday wear, a lower percentage would be more comfortable.

2. What does "textured mesh" mean here?

The surface isn't flat. The weave creates a subtle texture that you can both see and feel — a bit of visual depth that sets it apart from plain smooth meshes. It's not a print, not an embossing, just the natural character of the knit. The texture also helps with breathability by creating micro-channels for airflow.

3. Is this fully opaque? Do I need a lining?

Yes, fully opaque at 100gsm. No lining needed. You can use it for leggings, compression tights, and shapewear without worrying about transparency, even in lighter colors.

4. How does the matte finish hold up after washing?

The matte finish is in the yarn itself, not a coating. It stays clean and low-key through repeated washing. No shine developing over time, no fading, no turning glossy in high-wear areas. Just stays matte.

5. What's the difference between this and your other nylon spandex meshes?

Two things set this one apart: the 24% spandex content and the textured weave. Our other nylon spandex meshes typically have 10-20% spandex for lighter stretch. This one is built for compression and recovery. The textured surface also gives it a different look and feel — more character than a standard flat mesh. If you need maximum stretch with a distinctive finish, this is your pick.
