Durable Textured Pique Mesh 320GSM For Jacket Outerwear
This 320GSM textured pique mesh is engineered specifically for jacket outerwear that demands exceptional durability, structural integrity, and a professional, non‑sporty appearance. The pique mesh structure combines the raised honeycomb‑like texture of a classic pique with an open yet dense mesh backing, creating a fabric that is highly breathable while remaining thick and abrasion‑resistant. At 320 grams per square meter, this fabric falls into the heavy weight category – it holds its shape under heavy use, resists tearing, and provides substantial wind resistance without the need for additional lining. The 100% polyester composition ensures colorfastness, wrinkle recovery, and quick drying. For applications such as work jackets, moto jackets, softshell outerwear, and heavy‑duty team jackets, this durable textured pique mesh delivers the ruggedness and structure required for demanding environments.

Why this 320GSM textured pique mesh is ideal for durable jacket outerwear:
320GSM heavy weight provides rugged protection – Substantial enough to block wind and resist abrasion from daily wear, tools, or outdoor elements. Perfect for work jackets, moto jackets, and field outerwear.
Textured pique face hides scuffs and wear – The honeycomb pattern naturally conceals minor scratches, dirt, and fiber pilling, keeping jackets looking professional longer.
Open mesh back adds breathability – Unlike solid heavy pique, the mesh back allows heat and moisture to escape (80‑120 CFM), preventing overheating during active use.
Exceptional tear and tensile strength – Tear strength >110N and tensile >900N means the fabric resists ripping at shoulder seams, pocket corners, and zipper edges.
Wrinkle resistant for travel and storage – Jackets made from this fabric can be folded in bags and worn directly – no ironing needed.
Optional water repellent finish – Add C6 DWR for light rain protection without sacrificing breathability. Ideal for outdoor work jackets and motorcycle outerwear.
Easy care and colorfast – Machine wash cold, line dry. Resists fading from sunlight and washing. Team or work logos stay sharp.
Primary jacket and outerwear applications for 320GSM textured pique mesh:
Work jackets and industrial outerwear (warehouse, construction, logistics)
Motorcycle riding jackets (abrasion‑resistant, wind blocking)
Team outerwear (football, baseball warm‑up jackets)
Softshell‑style jackets without membrane (breathable and durable)
Security and law enforcement windbreakers
Heavy‑duty field jackets for hunting or outdoor work
Corporate workwear (delivery, maintenance, grounds crews)
Q1: Is 320GSM too heavy for a jacket that needs to be worn all day?
320GSM is considered a medium‑heavy weight for outerwear. For comparison, typical denim jackets are around 350‑400GSM. This fabric is substantial but not restrictive. The open mesh back adds breathability, so workers stay comfortable during long shifts. For extremely heavy‑duty applications (e.g., welding or heavy equipment), we recommend adding an abrasion‑resistant overlay; for lighter jackets, a 240‑280GSM version is available.
Q2: How does the textured pique mesh perform in windy conditions?
Air permeability of 80‑120 CFM provides moderate wind resistance – enough to block light to moderate winds (up to 30 km/h). For high‑wind or cold weather, we recommend adding a windproof membrane (available as a custom laminate). The fabric’s heavy weight also contributes to stability in gusty conditions.
Q3: Can this fabric be laminated to a waterproof membrane?
Yes. The pique mesh surface accepts lamination well. We offer optional lamination with a TPU or ePTFE membrane for fully waterproof, breathable jackets. Minimum order for lamination is 1000 meters. Please specify your waterproof requirements when requesting a quote.
Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this 320GSM pique mesh?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 320GSM textured pique mesh. The recycled yarn is sourced from post‑consumer PET bottles. The mechanical properties – tear strength (>110N), tensile strength (>900N), abrasion resistance (Grade 4, 100,000 cycles) – are within 5% of the virgin version. The recycled version also maintains the same air permeability (80‑120 CFM) and colorfastness. Minimum order for recycled is 800 meters. Please request a recycled swatch and GRS certificate for verification.
Q5: How do I care for a jacket made from this fabric?
Machine wash cold (30°C) gentle cycle. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not use fabric softener – it can reduce breathability. If a water repellent finish is applied, reactivate it by tumble drying low for 10 minutes after washing. Do not dry clean unless specified. The fabric will last hundreds of washes.
Q6: Does the pique texture make embroidery difficult?
No. The raised texture actually helps hide small embroidery registration imperfections. Use a heavy‑weight tear‑away stabilizer on the back. The 320GSM thickness provides good support for large logos without distorting. Test embroidery is recommended.
Q7: What colors are available for industrial jackets?
For custom Pantone colors (e.g., corporate brand colors), the minimum order is 500 meters with a lab dip lead time of 10‑12 days. Custom colors are available from 500 meters.
