Product Description

3D air spacer scuba knit construction gives this 95% polyester and 5% spandex fabric a firm, double-faced body that suits activewear manufacturers and apparel brands building structured garments. The 285gsm air-layer structure holds panel shape while the spandex content drives four-way stretch and recovery.

MH supplies this scuba knit in bulk for garment factories and sportswear labels, coordinating dyed-to-order color development, alternative weights, and finish adjustments with mills to match each program. Sampling and repeat orders move through a stable sourcing channel built for export.

Standard construction runs 75D/36F DTY with 30D spandex at a 160cm width and 285gsm weight, finished with a smooth, soft hand across the 3D air-spacer surface. Rolls are packed at 25kg for freight, and color is customizable across production color options.

Product Features

• Four-way stretch — the 5% spandex lets garments flex and recover, reducing bagging in fitted activewear.

• 3D air-spacer body — the double-faced air layer adds structure and cushioning without heavy weight, giving a clean drape at 285gsm.

• Shape retention — dense knit construction resists stretching out, keeping cut panels stable through repeated wear and wash.

• Smooth soft surface — the polyester face takes dye and print evenly for consistent finished goods.

• Durable knit — abrasion-resistant yarns support active and everyday apparel with a long usable life.

Applications

• Activewear — Used by sportswear manufacturers for leggings, gym tops, and training sets that need stretch and recovery.

• Structured apparel — Popular with apparel brands for form-fitting dresses, skirts, and tailored blazers that hold their shape.

• Swimwear and dancewear — Sourced by garment factories for performance pieces requiring four-way flexibility.

• Fashion bottoms — Common among clothing labels for skorts, shorts, and pants that need a firm hand.

• Light outerwear — A regular pick for structured jackets and overlays with a smooth finish.
