155GSM Moisture Wicking Fabric Small Hole Vertical Stripe Breathable for Sportswear

Product Title

155GSM Small Hole Vertical Stripe Polyester Breathable Lightweight

1. Introductory Paragraph (Fully Around Title Selling Points)

This 155GSM small hole vertical stripe polyester fabric is engineered for apparel that demands superior breathability, minimal weight, and a clean, linear aesthetic. The “small hole” perforations – approximately 0.6‑0.8 mm in diameter – are arranged in fine vertical stripe patterns, creating continuous air channels that allow heat and moisture to escape instantly. At 155 grams per square meter, the fabric is genuinely lightweight: a finished t‑shirt or training top weighs only about 120‑140 grams, making it ideal for high‑intensity activities or hot‑weather wear. The vertical stripe orientation also provides a subtle slimming effect and a modern, sporty look that distinguishes it from plain meshes. The 100% polyester composition ensures rapid moisture wicking (sweat evaporates in about 22 minutes) and excellent durability despite the open structure. For summer t‑shirts, lightweight training tops, hat side panels, and sportswear linings, this small hole vertical stripe fabric delivers the perfect combination of airflow, lightness, and style.

3. Bullet Point List – Key Advantages & Apparel Applications

Why this small hole vertical stripe fabric is the ideal choice for breathable, lightweight garments:

• Vertical stripe perforations maximize airflow – The aligned micro holes create continuous ventilation channels. Air permeability of 240‑280 CFM keeps the wearer cool during intense activity.

• 155GSM ultra‑lightweight – T‑shirts and tops feel almost weightless. Reduces fatigue for athletes and packing bulk for travelers.

• Quick drying – 22 minutes from soaked – Sweat evaporates rapidly. Perfect for humid climates, post‑workout wear, or as a travel shirt that can be washed and dried overnight.

• Modern vertical stripe aesthetic – The slim vertical lines create a flattering visual effect, making the fabric suitable for fashion‑forward sportswear, not just basic performance wear.

• Snag resistant for everyday durability – Grade 3.5‑4 snag resistance means the small holes resist pulling from velcro, bag straps, or rough surfaces. More durable than larger‑hole meshes.

• Moisture wicking and odor resistant – Polyester fibers pull sweat away and dry quickly, reducing bacterial growth. Stays fresher between washes.

• Easy care and colorfast – Machine wash cold, hang dry. The vertical stripe pattern helps hide minor stains and lint.

Primary applications for 155GSM small hole vertical stripe fabric:

• Summer performance t‑shirts (crewneck, V‑neck)

• Lightweight training tops and practice jerseys

• Hat and cap side panels (breathable, structured)

• Sportswear linings (vests, shorts, jackets)

• Athletic tank tops and sleeveless tees

• Travel and hiking shirts (quick dry, wrinkle‑resistant)

• Team warm‑up shirts (lightweight and breathable)

4. Frequently Asked Questions (Product‑Specific)

Q1: What makes the small hole vertical stripe different from standard mesh?
Standard mesh typically has large hexagonal or diamond openings that look very sporty and can be overly transparent. Our small hole vertical stripe features tiny, closely spaced perforations aligned in vertical rows. This creates a much cleaner, more refined appearance that works well for everyday t‑shirts and fashion sportswear. The vertical orientation also provides a subtle slimming effect.

Q2: Is 155GSM see‑through?
Dark colors (black, navy, charcoal, royal blue) are fully opaque even when stretched. Light colors (white, light grey, pastels) may be slightly sheer due to the small holes. If opacity is critical in light colors, we recommend using a liner or choosing a darker shade. For most sportswear and casual t‑shirt applications, the natural semi‑transparency of light colors is acceptable.

Q3: How durable are the small holes? Will they tear easily?
The fabric has a snag resistance rating of Grade 3.5‑4 (ASTM D3939), which means the small holes resist tearing and pulling from normal use. However, like any perforated fabric, sharp objects (pens, keys) can catch. For heavy‑duty applications, we recommend a denser fabric. For t‑shirts, hats, and linings, this durability level is more than sufficient.

Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this small hole vertical stripe fabric?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 155GSM small hole vertical stripe fabric. The recycled yarn is derived from post‑consumer PET bottles. The breathability (240‑280 CFM), drying time (22 minutes), snag resistance (Grade 3.5‑4), and tensile strength (>240N) are all within 5% of the virgin version. The recycled fabric maintains the same vertical stripe clarity 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 garments made from this fabric?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or line dry – the quick dry property means line drying takes about 1‑2 hours. Do not use fabric softener; it can coat the fibers and reduce breathability. Avoid ironing directly on the fabric (use a pressing cloth if needed). Following these steps, the fabric will maintain its performance for over 50 washes.

Q6: Can this fabric be sublimation printed?
Yes. The 100% polyester surface accepts sublimation ink very well. The small holes will create a subtle textured effect in printed areas – the ink appears continuous but the vertical perforations add a unique visual character. For team names, numbers, and logos, sublimation produces clean results. For solid, full‑coverage prints, a solid jersey is recommended.

Q7: What colors are available, and can I customize the stripe width?
For custom vertical stripe widths (e.g., 0.5 cm stripe / 0.8 cm gap), the minimum order is 500 meters. Lead time for strike‑off samples is 20-25 days.
