Product Description
This 190GSM breathable micro fleece is specifically engineered as a lining fabric for activewear that demands warmth without weight, and airflow without bulk. The “micro fleece” construction uses ultra‑fine polyester fibers that are brushed on one side to create a low‑profile, velvety surface – much thinner and more breathable than traditional heavy polar fleece. At 190 grams per square meter, this fabric occupies the lightweight zone: it adds gentle insulation against cool morning runs or air‑conditioned gyms, but does not trap body heat during high‑intensity intervals. The breathability factor is the key differentiator: unlike standard fleece linings that can become clammy, this micro fleece allows moisture vapor to escape through the fabric structure, keeping the wearer dry from the inside out. For activewear lining applications – such as windbreaker inners, training jacket shells, yoga pant liners, or performance hoodies – this 190GSM breathable micro fleece provides the ideal combination of light warmth, soft next‑to‑skin comfort, and passive moisture management.

Key Advantages
Why this 190GSM breathable micro fleece outperforms traditional linings:
Breathable micro fleece structure prevents overheating – Air permeability of 80‑110 CFM allows warm, moist air to escape from the body. Unlike standard fleece linings (often <30 CFM), this fabric keeps athletes dry during intense activity.
190GSM lightweight insulation without bulk – Adds just enough warmth for cool‑weather training or as a windbreaker liner. The low‑profile fleece does not restrict movement or add noticeable weight to the finished garment.
Soft, non‑scratchy skin contact – The single‑brushed surface is smooth against the skin – no need for an additional inner layer. Tested against inner forearm and neck with no irritation reported.
Moisture vapor transmission (MVTR 4500) – Sweat vapor passes through the fleece to the outer shell, then evaporates. The lining itself does not become waterlogged. Ideal for high‑output activities where sweat management is critical.
Quick drying for multi‑session use – After washing or heavy sweating, the micro fleece air‑dries in about 35 minutes. Athletes can wash and wear the same jacket for back‑to‑back training days.
Durable enough for active use – Tear strength >30N and pilling grade 3.5 are sufficient for lining fabric that is not directly abraded. The fabric resists snagging from zippers or hook‑and‑loop fasteners during assembly.
Easy care and colorfast – Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. The micro fleece does not shrink or lose its breathability after repeated wash cycles. Colorfastness to rubbing (grade 4 dry) prevents dye transfer to outer shells.
Primary activewear lining applications for this breathable micro fleece:
Windbreaker and softshell jacket linings
Training hoodie inners (adds warmth without weight)
Yoga pant and legging liners (for cool weather)
Running jacket inner sleeves and body
Sports vest liners (golf, cycling)
Performance base layer hybrids (fleece‑backed)
Team warm‑up jacket linings
Outdoor athletic pants (lined version)
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How breathable is 80‑110 CFM for a fleece lining fabric?
Very breathable for a fleece. Most standard polar fleece linings (200‑300GSM) have air permeability below 30 CFM – they trap heat and moisture. Our micro fleece at 190GSM achieves 80‑110 CFM because the micro‑denier fibers create a more open structure. This means sweat vapor escapes rather than condensing inside the jacket. For comparison, a typical breathable rainwear fabric is 50‑100 CFM. So this fleece breathes as well as a softshell outer fabric.
Q2: Is 190GSM warm enough for winter activewear lining?
190GSM provides light to moderate insulation – ideal for temperatures from 5°C to 15°C (41‑59°F) as a jacket lining. For below‑freezing conditions, we recommend layering with a heavier fleece (250GSM+) or using this as a mid‑layer rather than a lining. For spring/fall training and gym wear, 190GSM is perfect.
Q3: Does the brushed surface pill or shed fibers?
Pilling resistance is Grade 3.5 – acceptable for a lining fabric that does not see direct external abrasion. Some minor pilling may occur after 30‑50 washes but does not affect breathability or comfort. Fiber shedding is minimal during the first wash; we recommend pre‑washing before garment assembly to remove loose surface fibers.
Q4: Can I use this fabric as an outer shell instead of lining?
Technically yes, but it is optimized as a lining. The single‑brushed side is soft against skin, but the unbrushed back is less durable and may pill faster. For outerwear applications, we offer the same micro fleece with double‑brushed finish (softer both sides) or a higher weight (220GSM). Please ask for our outerwear fleece options.
Q5: Is recycled polyester available for this breathable micro fleece?
Yes. We have a GRS‑certified version using recycled micro denier polyester. The breathability, weight (190GSM), and hand feel are identical to virgin fleece. Minimum order for recycled is 800 meters. Please specify recycled when requesting a quote.
