High-Stretch Chlorine Resistant Nylon Spandex Swimwear Fabric 200gsm - China Suppliers Factory
How does it feel?
200gsm nylon spandex lustrous swimwear fabric. You pick it up and you immediately know it's a heavyweight. Solid, substantial, built like it means business in the water. The lustrous finish is the standout here — clean, bright, with a natural sheen built into the yarn. Not oily. Not flashy. Just a sharp, polished look that holds up in and out of the pool. Nylon gives it that smooth, cool-to-the-touch feel. Strong four-way stretch that snaps right back with authority. 150cm wide, 3 yards per kilo. The low yield tells you everything: this fabric packs serious weight into every meter. If you want a fabric that looks as good as it performs, this is it.
Is it tough? Does it last?
Built for serious pool time. Nylon handles chlorine and saltwater. The heavyweight construction means it won't bag out, sag, or lose its shape after repeated wear and washing. The lustrous finish is in the yarn itself — not a coating that washes off. It stays bright and clean-looking through hundreds of hours of exposure. Fully opaque, no lining needed. For competitive swimwear and serious training suits that get worn hard and washed often, it goes the distance. Not the kind that quits after one season.
What can I make with it?
Competitive swimwear and serious training suits. One-pieces that need to stay fully opaque and hold their compression through countless hours in the water. High-end resort swimwear where a polished, lustrous finish sets the design apart. If you need a matte version of this weight, our 220gsm matte swimwear fabric is the alternative. If you need lighter options for casual or resort wear, we have 110gsm, 150gsm, and 175gsm. This one's for when you want heavyweight performance with a bright, clean finish — polished enough to stand out, tough enough to last.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is this different from your 220gsm matte swimwear fabric?
The finish and the weight. The 220gsm matte version has a flat, non-shiny surface — understated and premium. This 200gsm lustrous version is slightly lighter, with a bright, polished sheen built into the yarn. Both are heavyweights with strong compression. Pick matte for quiet luxury. Pick lustrous for a sharper, brighter look in and out of the water.
2. Is the lustre going to wash out or fade?
No. The lustre is in the nylon yarn itself — it's how the fiber is made, not a coating or finish on top. It won't wash out, won't rub off, won't turn dull after cleaning. The glow stays.
3. 200gsm — is this considered heavy for swimwear?
Yes, this is a solid heavyweight. Heavier than our 150gsm and 175gsm options, but lighter than our 220gsm and 250gsm versions. It sits right in the sweet spot for serious training suits — enough weight to be fully opaque and hold compression through long sessions, but not so heavy that it feels bulky.
4. How's the stretch? Will it bag out?
Strong four-way stretch — pulls over 2x crosswise and snaps right back. The spandex is dialled in properly, so recovery is solid. Normal wear, normal washing — it won't sag. Use it for suits that get worn several times a week, and months later the snap is still there.
5. Is this fully opaque? Do I need a lining?
Yes, fully opaque at 200gsm. No lining needed. You can use it for one-pieces and training suits without worrying about transparency, even in lighter colors.
6. Nylon vs polyester for swimwear — why pick this one?
Feel and finish. Nylon is softer and smoother against the skin, with a natural sheen and better stretch recovery. Polyester handles chlorine slightly better over the very long term, but nylon feels more luxurious and drapes more fluidly. If you want the softest, most premium feel with a clean lustrous finish, go nylon.
