Product Description
This 140GSM polyester mesh fabric is specifically engineered for sportswear that demands unrestricted airflow and minimal weight. The open mesh structure – allows air to pass through freely, keeping athletes cool during high‑intensity training or competitive play. At 140 grams per square meter, the fabric falls into the lightweight category: a full‑sized basketball jersey made from this mesh weighs approximately 110‑130 grams, nearly half the weight of a standard cotton jersey. The 100% polyester composition ensures that the fabric does not absorb moisture – sweat evaporates almost instantly rather than being held against the skin. Despite its lightweight and open nature, the mesh is engineered with reinforced cross‑yarns to resist tearing and snagging during normal sportswear use. For team jerseys, training vests, running singlets, and gym shorts, this 140GSM breathable lightweight mesh delivers the ventilation‑to‑durability ratio that serious sportswear requires.

Key Advantages
Why this 140GSM lightweight breathable mesh is built for sportswear:
Maximum breathability – 550‑650 CFM – Among the most air‑permeable sportswear fabrics available. Sweat vapor and body heat exit immediately. Athletes report feeling cooler compared to 200‑300 CFM meshes used in standard practice jerseys.
True lightweight (140GSM) reduces fatigue – Heavy jerseys slow down players. This 140GSM mesh adds almost no weight, allowing full range of motion. Ideal for multi‑game tournaments where every gram counts.
Quickest drying of any sportswear fabric – Saturated sample air‑dried in 12 minutes (lab tested). Rain‑delayed games? Players can towel off and the jersey is dry by the next play. Swim‑to‑run transitions in triathlon become seamless.
Reinforced weave resists tearing – Despite the open structure, tear strength exceeds 35N. Side seams and armhole edges withstand aggressive拉扯 during tackles or dives.
Non‑absorbent and wicking – Polyester holds less than 0.2% moisture. Sweat does not soak into the fabric; instead, it spreads on the skin surface and evaporates through the mesh openings. No clamminess.
Colorfast and easy care – Grade 4 light and perspiration fastness means team colors stay bright after a full season. Machine wash cold, hang dry – the mesh holds its shape and does not shrink.
Snag resistant enough for sport use – Grade 3.5 snag resistance (ASTM D3939) ensures that normal contact with velcro, chair edges, or gym equipment does not cause visible pulls. For high‑velcro environments (tactical), we offer a denser 170GSM version.
Primary sportswear applications for 140GSM polyester mesh:
Basketball jerseys (full mesh or side panel inserts)
Soccer training vests (pinnies and practice bibs)
Running singlets and race vests
Gym stringer tank tops (maximum ventilation)
Hockey and lacrosse under‑jerseys
Baseball practice shirts
Triathlon race tops (quick dry after swim)
Sports bras (breathable back panels)
Team warm‑up shirts (mesh yoke or full back)
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How breathable is 550‑650 CFM compared to other sport meshes?
Standard practice jersey meshes typically range from 200‑350 CFM. Our 140GSM mesh is nearly twice as airy. To put it in perspective, standing in front of a fan at low speed, you can feel air pass directly through the fabric. This level of breathability is ideal for high‑cardio sports (basketball, soccer, running) in warm or humid conditions.
Q2: Is 140GSM too fragile for repeated washing and rough play?
No. The warp‑knitted structure uses interlocking yarns that distribute stress. We have tested this mesh through 50 industrial wash cycles with no seam failures or visible fraying. Tear strength >35N exceeds the requirements for non‑contact and moderate‑contact sports. For heavy‑contact sports (e.g., rugby, tackle football), we recommend our 170GSM or 200GSM mesh.
Q3: Does the mesh snag easily on velcro or sharp objects?
The mesh has a snag resistance rating of Grade 3.5 (ASTM D3939). Velcro® hook tape will cause occasional pulls if dragged directly across, but ordinary sportswear use (backpack straps, gym benches, floor mats) does not create visible snags. For sports that involve frequent velcro contact (e.g., tactical training), we offer a tighter 170GSM mesh with Grade 4 snag resistance.
Q4: What colors are available, and can I get custom team colors?
We stock 24 ready‑to‑ship sport colors, including black, white, royal blue, scarlet red, navy, kelly green, gold, orange, purple, grey, and neon yellow/pink. For custom Pantone matching, the minimum order is 500 meters, with an 10‑12 day lead time for lab dip. Bulk orders (2000m+) can be dyed to any color.
Q5: Is this fabric suitable for sublimation printing?
Yes, 100% polyester mesh accepts sublimation ink very well. However, note that the open mesh structure means the print will have a dotted/screened appearance – solid areas show the white substrate through the holes. For full‑color, opaque prints, we recommend a solid jersey or a tighter mesh (e.g., our 100GSM micromesh). For team names and numbers, sublimation produces crisp results on this 140GSM mesh.
Q6: Do you offer a recycled polyester version?
Yes. We have a GRS‑certified recycled polyester mesh with the same 140GSM, breathability, and strength. The recycled version uses post‑consumer PET bottles. Minimum order for recycled is 800 meters. Please request recycled swatch.
