240GSM 100% Polyester Knitted Fabric Pineapple Texture Breathable Durable for Sportswear Jackets

Product Title

240GSM Polyester Pineapple Knit Breathable Durable For Sportswear

1. Introductory Paragraph (Fully Around Title Selling Points)

This 240GSM polyester pineapple knit is engineered specifically for sportswear that demands breathability, durability, and a distinctive textured appearance. The “pineapple” knit structure features a raised, scale‑like surface that creates natural air channels, allowing heat and moisture to escape while the fabric remains in contact with the body. At 240 grams per square meter, this mid‑to‑heavy weight fabric provides excellent resistance to abrasion and tearing, making it ideal for sportswear jackets, training tops, and team outerwear that undergo frequent washing and intense movement. The 100% polyester composition ensures the fabric is quick‑drying, wrinkle‑resistant, and colorfast, while the open pineapple texture maintains airflow (110‑150 CFM) to keep athletes cool during warm‑ups or high‑intensity drills. For team warm‑up jackets, training shells, and durable sportswear bags, this breathable durable pineapple knit delivers the performance and longevity that serious sportswear requires.

3. Bullet Point List – Key Advantages & Sportswear Applications

Why this pineapple knit outperforms standard sportswear fabrics:

• Pineapple texture enhances durability – The raised scale‑like pattern reduces direct surface contact, distributing friction and resisting abrasion from backpacks, bleachers, and gym equipment.

• 240GSM provides structured mid‑weight durability – Heavy enough for team warm‑up jackets and training shells, yet breathable enough for active wear. Holds shape without sagging.

• Breathable (110‑150 CFM) yet wind‑resistant – Allows body heat to escape while blocking light wind. Athletes stay comfortable during outdoor training and sidelines.

• Excellent tear and tensile strength – Tear strength >55N means side seams and pocket openings withstand aggressive movement. No ripping during drills or travel.

• Quick drying (28 minutes from soaked) – Sweat or rain evaporates rapidly. Jackets are ready for the next session without long downtime.

• Wrinkle resistant for team bags – The pineapple knit holds its shape. Jackets can be packed in duffel bags and worn directly – no ironing required.

• Colorfast and pill‑free – Grade 4 pilling resistance keeps the pineapple texture sharp. Team colors stay vibrant wash after wash.

Primary sportswear applications for 240GSM pineapple knit:

• Team warm‑up jackets (soccer, basketball, baseball)

• Training shells and track jackets

• Coaches’ sideline jackets and windbreakers

• Golf pullovers (structured yet flexible)

• Esports team jackets (durable for extended wear)

• Athletic travel jackets (wrinkle‑resistant for packing)

• Durable backpack panels and sports bag shells

4. Frequently Asked Questions (Product‑Specific)

Q1: What makes pineapple knit more breathable than other textured fabrics of the same weight?
The raised scale‑like pattern creates micro‑air channels between the fabric and the body, allowing heat and moisture vapor to escape more easily than flat knits or tight pique structures. Independent testing shows 110‑150 CFM air permeability – significantly higher than many 240GSM solid knits.

Q2: Is 240GSM suitable for year‑round sportswear jackets?
240GSM provides light to medium insulation – ideal for spring/fall training, cool mornings, and indoor warm‑ups. For winter conditions below 5°C (41°F), we recommend layering or choosing a 300+ GSM fleece. For summer evenings or air‑conditioned gyms, 240GSM is comfortable without overheating.

Q3: Does the pineapple texture affect sewing or cutting?
No. The fabric is dimensionally stable and does not curl excessively. Use a universal or ballpoint needle (size 80/12 or 90/14) on industrial machines. The texture does not interfere with seam alignment. Pre‑washing is not required.

Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this 240GSM pineapple knit?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact pineapple knit – same 240GSM weight, same 150cm width, same durable texture. The recycled yarn is sourced from post‑consumer PET bottles. Mechanical properties (tear strength >55N, abrasion resistance Grade 4, pilling Grade 4) are all within 5% of the virgin version. The recycled fabric also maintains the same breathability (110‑150 CFM) and quick‑dry performance. Minimum order for recycled is 800 meters. Please request a recycled swatch and a copy of the GRS certificate for verification.

Q5: What is the typical lead time for this fabric?
For stock colors, lead time is 25‑30 days after order confirmation. For custom Pantone colors, add 10‑12 days for lab dip development and approval. Bulk production then takes 25‑30 days. Expedited service (≤20 days) may be available for orders ≥1500 meters – please inquire.

Q6: How do I care for garments made from this pineapple knit?
Machine wash cold (30°C) 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. Avoid high‑heat ironing directly on the textured side. Following these steps, the fabric will retain its durability and performance for over 50 washes.
