220GSM Double Brush Single Shake Polar Fleece Soft Both Sides for Sportswear

1. Introductory Paragraph (Fully Around Title Selling Points)

This 220GSM double brush single shake polar fleece is engineered for sportswear that demands softness on both faces, lightweight warmth, and clean, durable performance. The “double brush” process raises fine fibers on both the face and back, creating a plush, velvety surface that feels gentle against the skin whether used as an outer shell or inner lining. The “single shake” mechanical action then stabilizes the pile on both sides, preventing excessive shedding and maintaining loft. At 220 grams per square meter, this polar fleece offers medium‑weight insulation – warm enough for cool‑weather training jackets and hoodies, yet breathable and non‑bulky for active movement. The 100% polyester composition ensures quick drying, moisture wicking, and resistance to shrinking and fading. For sportswear applications such as team warm‑up jackets, training hoodies, lightweight outerwear, and performance linings, this double‑brushed fleece delivers the comfort and durability that athletes and designers require.

3. Bullet Point List – Key Advantages & Sportswear Applications

Why this double‑brushed polar fleece is the ideal choice for sportswear:

• Soft both sides for versatile use – The double brush finish creates a gentle, plush surface on both faces. Wear it as an outer jacket with the soft side showing, or as a lining against the skin – no scratchiness either way.

• 220GSM medium warmth without bulk – Warmer than 180GSM lightweight fleece, lighter than 280GSM heavy fleece. Perfect for spring/fall team jackets, training hoodies, and cool‑weather layering.

• Single shake stabilizes pile on both sides – Prevents fiber shedding and pilling, keeping the fabric looking fresh even after repeated washing and abrasion from backpacks or gym equipment.

• Breathable yet wind‑resistant – Air permeability of 50‑75 CFM blocks light winds while allowing moisture vapor to escape, keeping you warm without overheating during active training.

• Quick drying and moisture wicking – Sweat evaporates in about 30 minutes. The fleece does not become waterlogged, so you stay comfortable after sudden rain or intense workouts.

• Durable and easy care – Tear strength >38N and Grade 4 pilling resistance mean this fleece withstands daily wear and washing. Machine wash cold, tumble dry low – no ironing.

• Lightweight compressibility – Easily packs into a gym bag or backpack, making it perfect for travel and team trips.

4. Frequently Asked Questions (Product‑Specific)

Q1: What makes double brush single shake different from single brush single shake?
Single brush single shake fleece is brushed on only one side (the face); the back remains unbrushed, which feels slightly less soft. Double brush single shake fleece is brushed on both sides, resulting in a plush, velvety surface on the outside and inside. This makes it ideal for garments that may be worn without a liner or where both sides are exposed (e.g., open front jackets, blankets). The single shake step stabilizes the pile on both sides, preventing shedding.

Q2: Is 220GSM warm enough for winter sportswear?
220GSM provides medium warmth – comfortable for cool weather (5°C to 15°C / 41‑59°F) as a standalone jacket. For colder conditions (below 5°C), we recommend layering under a shell or choosing a 280‑320GSM fleece. For indoor training or mild winter days, 220GSM is ideal. Its breathability also prevents overheating during active use.

Q3: Does double brushing cause more pilling?
No. The single shake process, combined with high‑quality fiber selection, keeps pilling at Grade 4 (excellent). In fact, double‑brushed fleece from premium suppliers often pills less than cheap single‑brushed fleece because the fibers are fully stabilized. Independent testing confirms no significant pilling after 50 washes.

Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this 220GSM double‑brushed fleece?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 220GSM double brush single shake polar fleece. The recycled yarn is produced from post‑consumer PET bottles. The softness, warmth (CLO value 0.38), pilling resistance (Grade 4), and tear strength (>38N) are all within 5% of the virgin version. The double‑brushed finish feels identical, and the recycled fleece maintains the same quick‑dry and anti‑shedding properties. 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 garments made from this double‑brushed fleece?
Machine wash cold (30°C) gentle cycle with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not use fabric softener – it can coat the fibers and reduce breathability and softness. Avoid ironing directly on the brushed pile. Following these steps, the fabric will retain its softness and performance for over 50 washes.

Q6: Can this fleece be sublimation printed?
Sublimation printing works best on white or light‑colored polyester with a smooth surface. The brushed pile can scatter ink, resulting in slightly softer print edges. For large area prints, we recommend screen printing or heat transfer vinyl. For small logos or text, sublimation is acceptable. We recommend a test print before bulk production.

Q7: What colors are available for team sportswear?
For custom Pantone matching (team colors), the minimum order is 500 meters with a lab dip lead time of 20-25 days.
