About Athletic Mesh

Athletic mesh is a warp-knit fabric primarily made from polyester fibers, designed for high-performance athletic apparel. The warp-knit construction provides excellent elasticity and recovery, making it ideal for form-fitting garments. The open structure of the mesh allows for superior breathability and moisture-wicking properties, keeping the wearer cool and dry during physical activities. Common applications include jerseys, shorts, and linings for sportswear.
