About Activewear Jersey
Activewear Jersey is constructed using a plain knit technique, typically blending polyester, nylon, and spandex to achieve a soft, breathable, and flexible fabric. The polyester and nylon provide durability and moisture-wicking properties, while spandex adds stretch for ease of movement. This fabric is commonly used in sportswear, yoga apparel, and other activewear due to its ability to retain shape and provide comfort during physical activities.

Common Applications
Leggings & Yoga Pants
Its four-way stretch and moisture-wicking properties make it ideal for leggings and yoga pants, allowing unrestricted movement during workouts. The fabric hugs the body comfortably, retains its shape through repeated wear and washing, and keeps the wearer dry during intense sessions.
Sports Bras
The combination of spandex and Nylon delivers the firm yet flexible support needed in sports bras. Moisture management keeps skin dry during high-impact activity, while the soft knit construction minimizes chafing and irritation, making it a top choice for athletic undergarments.
Performance T-Shirts
Lightweight and breathable, this fabric is widely used in athletic t-shirts and training tops. Its stretch accommodates a full range of motion, while quick-drying Polyester fibers pull sweat away from the skin, helping athletes stay cool and comfortable during prolonged physical activity.
Care Instructions
Machine wash with similar colors, do not use bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on a low setting if necessary.
