Quick Dry Vertical Birdseye Fabric 152GSM For Sportswear
This 152GSM vertical birdseye fabric is engineered for sportswear that demands rapid moisture evaporation and a unique directional texture. The vertical birdseye pattern – small diamond‑shaped recesses arranged in clean vertical lines – creates continuous air channels that pull sweat away from the skin and accelerate drying. At 152 grams per square meter, the fabric is lightweight: a finished training top or jersey lining weighs only about 120‑130 grams, reducing fatigue during intense activity. The 100% polyester composition provides exceptional quick‑dry performance – sweat evaporates in approximately 20 minutes at room temperature – while resisting shrinking and wrinkling. The vertical orientation of the birdseye pattern also offers a subtle slimming effect and a modern, sporty aesthetic. For sportswear applications such as running singlets, training tops, cap side panels, and lightweight jersey linings, this quick dry vertical birdseye delivers superior moisture management and all‑day comfort.

Why this vertical birdseye fabric is ideal for quick‑dry sportswear:
Vertical birdseye pattern accelerates wicking – The aligned recesses create capillary channels that pull sweat away faster than plain knits or horizontal patterns.
Quick drying – 20 minutes from soaked – Sweat evaporates rapidly, keeping athletes dry between drills and after rain delays. Perfect for humid climates and multi‑session tournaments.
152GSM lightweight – Reduces overall garment weight without sacrificing durability. Ideal for summer uniforms, travel sportswear, and base layers.
Breathable (230‑270 CFM) – Air flows freely through the birdseye structure, preventing overheating during high‑intensity exercise.
Two‑side design – Birdseye side against skin for wicking; solid side outward for a clean, opaque appearance. Use either face depending on your design.
Soft hand and snag resistant – The birdseye side is gentle on skin (Grade 3.5 snag resistance), and the solid side feels smooth.
Easy care and colorfast – Machine wash cold, hang dry. No shrinking, no fading. Team colors stay bright.
Primary sportswear applications:
Running singlets and race vests
Training tops and practice jerseys
Cap and hat side panels (birdseye inside for cooling)
Lightweight jersey linings for jackets and shorts
Polo shirt back panels (vertical birdseye adds texture)
Sports headbands and wristbands
Travel and leisure shirts (quick dry, wrinkle‑resistant)
Q1: What makes “vertical birdseye” different from regular birdseye?
Regular birdseye fabric typically has a scattered or diamond‑grid pattern with no specific orientation. Vertical birdseye aligns the diamond recesses in straight vertical lines. This orientation creates continuous vertical channels that actively pull sweat downward (or upward) along the body, improving moisture wicking compared to non‑directional patterns. It also gives a slimming visual effect.
Q2: Is 152GSM thick enough to avoid see‑through?
The solid side is fully opaque, even in light colors (white, light grey). The birdseye side is semi‑transparent by design, as it is intended to be used against the skin or in ventilation zones. For outer layers, always use the solid side facing out.
Q3: How durable is the birdseye side? Will it snag?
The birdseye side has a snag resistance rating of Grade 3.5 (ASTM D3939), which is sufficient for normal sportswear use – occasional contact with velcro or rough surfaces may cause minor pulls but not rapid failure. For high‑abrasion areas (e.g., backpack straps), we recommend orienting the solid side outward.
Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this vertical birdseye fabric?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 152GSM vertical birdseye fabric. The recycled yarn is sourced from post‑consumer PET bottles. The quick‑dry performance (20 minutes), breathability (230‑270 CFM), tear strength (>22N), and snag resistance (Grade 3.5) are all within 5% of the virgin version. The recycled fabric also maintains the same vertical birdseye pattern and two‑side construction. 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 hang dry – the fabric dries quickly. Do not use fabric softener; it can coat the fibers and reduce wicking on the birdseye side. Avoid ironing directly on the birdseye texture. Following these steps, the fabric will retain its quick‑dry performance for over 50 washes.
Q6: Can this fabric be sublimation printed?
Sublimation works best on the solid side. The birdseye side is not recommended for printing because the recessed pattern can cause uneven ink coverage. For team logos, print on the solid side. We offer a white solid‑side version ready for sublimation.
Q7: What colors are available, and can I order custom patterns?
Custom Pantone colors require 500 meters (lab dip 20-25 days).
