150GSM Double Face Polyester Fabric Mesh One Side Solid For Sportswear
This 150GSM double face polyester fabric features a unique construction: one side is an open small mesh for breathability, while the other side is a solid, smooth surface for a clean aesthetic and added opacity. The mesh side allows air to circulate freely (air permeability 220‑260 CFM), making it ideal for ventilation zones in sportswear, while the solid side provides a professional, non‑see‑through finish when used as the outer face. At 150 grams per square meter, the fabric is lightweight – a finished jersey panel or cap side weighs almost nothing. The 100% polyester composition offers quick drying (sweat evaporates in about 22 minutes) and excellent moisture wicking. For sportswear applications such as reversible jerseys, cap side panels, lightweight jacket linings, and breathable bag pockets, this double‑face fabric gives designers the flexibility to choose which side faces out, combining cooling airflow on the inside with a clean look on the outside.

Why this double‑face fabric is ideal for sportswear:
Dual‑function design – Mesh side against skin provides ventilation and moisture wicking. Solid side facing outward gives a clean, professional look. One fabric, two uses.
150GSM lightweight – Keeps garments light and breathable. Perfect for warm‑weather sportswear, caps, and linings.
Quick drying (22 minutes) – Sweat evaporates fast. Ideal for high‑intensity sports, humid climates, and frequent washing.
Breathable mesh side – Air permeability 220‑260 CFM allows heat and sweat vapor to escape, preventing overheating.
Solid side is fully opaque – No show‑through when used as the outer layer. Great for team uniforms and everyday wear.
Soft hand on both sides – The solid side feels smooth against skin; the mesh side is gentle and non‑scratchy.
Easy care and colorfast – Machine wash cold, hang dry. Resists shrinking, fading, and pilling.
Primary sportswear applications:
Reversible team jerseys and practice bibs
Cap and hat side panels (mesh side inside for ventilation)
Lightweight jacket and windbreaker linings
Gym bag shoe compartments and breathable pockets
Training tops with mesh back panels (solid side outside)
Swimwear cover‑ups (quick dry, breathable)
Sports headbands and wristbands (soft, wicking)
Q1: What does “double face” mean for this fabric?
Double face means the fabric is knitted with two distinct surfaces. One side is an open small mesh (for breathability), the other side is a solid plain jersey (smooth and opaque). You can choose which side faces out based on your design needs – for example, mesh side inward for cooling, solid side outward for a clean finish.
Q2: Is 150GSM thick enough to avoid see‑through on the solid side?
Yes, the solid side is completely opaque even in light colors (white, light grey). The mesh side is semi‑transparent, but it is intended to be used as the inner face or in areas where breathability matters more than opacity.
Q3: How durable is the mesh side? Will it snag easily?
The mesh side has a snag resistance rating of Grade 3.5 (ASTM D3939), which is adequate for normal sportswear use – contact with velcro, bag straps, or gym equipment may cause occasional pulls but not rapid damage. For high‑abrasion applications, we recommend orienting the solid side outward.
Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this double‑face fabric?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 150GSM double‑face fabric. The recycled yarn is sourced from post‑consumer PET bottles. The mechanical properties – breathability (220‑260 CFM), drying time (22 minutes), tear strength (>24N), and pilling resistance (Grade 4) – are all within 5% of the virgin version. The recycled fabric also maintains the same dual‑surface structure 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 garments made from this fabric?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or line dry – the fabric dries quickly. Do not use fabric softener; it can coat the fibers and reduce breathability on the mesh side. Avoid ironing directly on the mesh surface. Following these steps, the fabric will retain its performance for over 50 washes.
Q6: Can this fabric be sublimation printed?
Sublimation works best on the solid side. The mesh side is not ideal for printing because ink may not fully cover the openings. For full‑color team logos, print on the solid side. The white solid side version is ready for sublimation.
Q7: What colors are available, and can I order custom widths?
Custom Pantone colors require 500 meters (lab dip 25-30 days). Standard width is 160cm; custom widths can be produced on request with adjusted MOQ.
