About Mesh Knit
Mesh knit is a type of warp knit fabric that features an open, porous structure, allowing for excellent breathability and moisture management. Typically made from synthetic fibers such as nylon or polyester, mesh knit is lightweight and has a soft hand feel, making it ideal for applications where comfort and ventilation are essential. The fabric's construction provides a degree of stretch, enhancing the fit and movement for activewear, while its durability makes it suitable for high-performance applications.
