Nylon Spandex Pique Fabric 150gsm — 7040 Textured Mesh Knit for Athletic Apparel and Performance Wear | China Weijin

150gsm nylon spandex pique mesh. 7040 textured knit. The surface has that classic pique structure — tiny raised geometric patterns that give it a clean, sporty look. The hand feel is smooth on the outside with a soft, breathable structure underneath. Not too thin, not too thick. The nylon base gives it a soft, almost silky touch against the skin, while the spandex gives it a gentle, supportive stretch. It breathes well — air moves through the pique texture, so it stays cool during wear.

It holds up well for activewear. Nylon spandex has good durability for its weight — won't pill or fuzz with normal wear. The pique knit structure is stable and resists stretching out of shape. Recovery is solid: stretch it and it snaps back. Won't shrink much on first wash. Color stays true wash after wash. It's not built for heavy abrasion or outdoor rough use, but for sportswear, polo shirts, and athletic apparel, it performs well through regular wear and washing.

Sportswear and athletic apparel — the primary use. The breathability and stretch make it a good choice for tops, shorts, and training gear.

Polo shirts — pique mesh is the classic polo shirt fabric. The textured surface looks polished but breathes better than plain knits.

Golf wear — polo shirts, skorts, and performance tops. The stretch and breathability work well for golf's range of motion.

Dancewear — leotards, bodysuits, rehearsal wear. The stretch and recovery give good freedom of movement.

School and team uniforms — polo shirts and athletic tops for teams, schools, and clubs. The pique texture looks sharp and holds up to frequent washing.

Activewear — sports bras, crop tops, training tanks. The 4-way stretch and moisture management make it suitable for gym wear.

1. What is pique mesh fabric?

Pique mesh is a textured knit fabric with raised geometric patterns on the surface — usually small repeating shapes like honeycombs or waffles. The texture is built into the knit structure, not printed or applied. It's breathable, stretchy, and has a clean, sporty appearance. It's most commonly used for polo shirts and athletic apparel.

2. Is this fabric see-through? Does it need a lining?

At 150gsm, it's opaque enough for most garments. For polo shirts and sportswear, no lining is needed. For very light colors (white, pastels), you might want to check it against your specific use case, but generally it's suitable as a standalone fabric.

3. Does this fabric have good stretch and recovery?

Yes. The spandex content gives it 4-way stretch with good recovery. It moves with the body and snaps back into shape after wear. It won't sag at the elbows or bag at the knees the way some cotton knits do.

4. How do I care for this fabric?

Machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Do not bleach. Hang dry or low tumble. Cool iron if needed. It holds up well through repeated washing — won't shrink, won't pill, won't lose its texture
