110GSM Polyester Plain Fabric Lightweight Breathable For Sportswear
This 110GSM polyester plain fabric is engineered for sportswear that demands minimal weight, high airflow, and a clean, simple structure. The plain weave – the most basic and stable woven construction – creates a smooth, flat surface that is highly breathable and quick to dry. At 110 grams per square meter, this fabric is ultra‑lightweight: a full‑size athletic shirt or liner weighs approximately 80‑100 grams, making it nearly unnoticeable during high‑intensity activity. The 100% polyester composition provides excellent moisture wicking, with sweat evaporating in about 18 minutes, and resists shrinking and wrinkling. For sportswear applications such as running singlet liners, lightweight training tops, team uniform underlayers, and breathable jacket inners, this plain fabric delivers the perfect balance of lightness, air circulation, and durability.

Why this 110GSM plain polyester fabric is ideal for lightweight sportswear:
Ultra‑lightweight 110GSM – Virtually weightless. Reduces athlete fatigue and allows unrestricted movement. Perfect for layering under jerseys or as a standalone summer top.
Highly breathable (280‑340 CFM) – Air flows freely through the plain weave, keeping the body cool during intense exercise. No trapped heat or sweat buildup.
Fastest drying among sport fabrics – From fully soaked to dry in 18 minutes. Ideal for humid conditions, rain‑delayed events, or quick‑turnaround training sessions.
Smooth plain weave surface – Clean, non‑textured face that accepts sublimation printing and screen printing exceptionally well. Logos and team graphics stay sharp.
Moisture wicking and non‑absorbent – Polyester pulls sweat away from the skin and evaporates it rapidly. Garments never feel heavy or waterlogged.
Wrinkle resistant and easy care – The fabric does not crease, even after being packed in a gym bag. Machine wash cold, line dry – no ironing needed.
Durable for its weight – Tear strength >18N is sufficient for sportswear liners and lightweight tops. Resists tearing from normal wear and washing.
Primary sportswear applications for 110GSM plain polyester:
Running singlets and race vests (as a lightweight outer)
Team uniform underlayers (moisture‑wicking base)
Lightweight training tops and practice shirts
Jacket and windbreaker linings (adds breathability)
Sportswear inner liners for shorts and pants
Sublimation‑ready blank jerseys (white base)
Travel sportswear (ultra‑light, quick drying)
Q1: Is 110GSM too thin for sportswear?
It depends on the application. For outer layers (jerseys, training tops), 110GSM is very lightweight and semi‑sheer, so it works best for lined garments, base layers, or as a race singlet where minimal weight is critical. Many endurance athletes prefer 100‑120GSM for maximum breathability and reduced drag. For heavier‑duty team jerseys, we recommend 140‑170GSM. For linings, 110GSM is ideal.
Q2: Does the plain weave make the fabric see‑through?
Light colors (white, light grey, pastels) are semi‑sheer – you can see a silhouette when held up to light. Dark colors (black, navy, royal blue) are much more opaque. For applications where opacity is required (e.g., standalone jersey), we recommend dark colors or using a liner. For base layers or linings, the sheerness is not an issue.
Q3: Can this fabric be sublimation printed?
Yes. The 100% polyester plain weave is one of the best substrates for sublimation. The smooth surface yields vibrant, sharp colors with no texture interference. For best results, use white or light‑colored fabric. We offer a ready‑to‑sublimate white version with 110GSM.
Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this 110GSM plain fabric?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 110GSM plain weave fabric. The recycled yarn is produced from post‑consumer PET bottles. The weight, breathability (280‑340 CFM), drying time (18 minutes), and tensile strength (>200N) are all within 5% of the virgin version. The recycled fabric also maintains the same smooth surface and colorfastness. Minimum order for recycled is 800 meters. Please request a recycled swatch and a copy of the GRS certificate for verification.
Q5: How do I care for sportswear made from this fabric?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry – the fabric dries extremely quickly. Do not use fabric softener; it can coat the fibers and reduce wicking. Iron on low (synthetic setting) if needed. Avoid high heat. Following these steps, the fabric will retain its performance for over 50 washes.
Q6: Can this fabric be used for bag linings or craft projects?
Yes. The lightweight, tear‑resistant nature makes it suitable for bag linings, pocket interiors, and lightweight craft applications. It is also used for banner backing and flag material. For heavy‑duty bags, we recommend a higher GSM (150+).
Q7: What colors are available for team or custom use?
For custom Pantone matching, the minimum order is 500 meters with a lab dip lead time of 20-25 days.
