Product Title

Polyester Diagonal Mesh Fabric Quick Dry 165GSM For Sportswear

1. Introductory Paragraph (Fully Around Title Selling Points)

This 165GSM polyester diagonal mesh fabric is engineered for sportswear that requires fast moisture evaporation, lightweight breathability, and a distinctive diagonal interwoven texture. The diagonal mesh structure – with intersecting yarns forming open, angled channels – allows air to flow freely while creating a stable, tear‑resistant surface. At 165 grams per square meter, the fabric sits in the mid‑lightweight range: heavy enough to resist snagging and tearing, yet light enough for activewear that demands unrestricted movement. The quick dry property is inherent to the 100% polyester composition – sweat or moisture evaporates in about 20‑22 minutes at room temperature, keeping athletes dry between drills and after rain delays. The diagonal pattern also provides a modern, sporty aesthetic that distinguishes it from ordinary hexagonal meshes. For training tops, jersey back panels, cap side inserts, and lightweight jacket linings, this quick‑dry diagonal mesh delivers the perfect balance of airflow, durability, and visual appeal.

3. Bullet Point List – Key Advantages & Sportswear Applications

Why this diagonal mesh outperforms standard sport meshes:

• Quick drying – 21 minutes from soaked – Sweat evaporates rapidly, even in humid conditions. Players stay dry through back‑to‑back training sessions.

• Diagonal interwoven structure adds tear resistance – The angled yarn interlocks distribute stress, providing tear strength >28N – higher than many plain meshes of the same weight.

• Breathable (240‑280 CFM) – Open diagonal channels allow maximum airflow. Body heat and sweat vapor escape instantly, preventing overheating.

• 165GSM lightweight durability – Light enough for summer training tops, yet sturdy enough for jersey back panels and cap side inserts. No sagging or distortion.

• Modern diagonal aesthetic – The angled pattern offers a clean, directional look that enhances sportswear design. Available in multiple colors to match team identities.

• Snag resistant for active use – Grade 3.5 snag resistance means the fabric withstands normal contact with Velcro, benches, and gym equipment.

• Easy care and colorfast – Machine wash cold, hang dry. Resists shrinking, fading, and pilling. Team colors stay vibrant wash after wash.

Primary sportswear applications for 165GSM diagonal mesh:

• Training tops and practice jerseys (full or panel)

• Jersey back ventilation panels and underarm inserts

• Cap and hat side panels (breathable, structured)

• Lightweight jacket and windbreaker linings

• Running singlets and race vests

• Gym bag shoe compartments and ventilated pockets

• Youth sports uniforms (lightweight for comfort)

4. Frequently Asked Questions (Product‑Specific)

Q1: How does diagonal mesh differ from standard hexagonal mesh?
Standard hexagonal mesh has straight‑aligned openings, which can stretch more easily in one direction. Diagonal mesh features angled, interwoven yarns that provide better dimensional stability and tear resistance in multiple directions. The diagonal pattern also gives a more directional, modern appearance that many sportswear designers prefer.

Q2: Is 165GSM thick enough to avoid see‑through?
Dark colors (black, navy, royal, charcoal) are fully opaque even when stretched. Light colors (white, light grey, pastels) may be slightly sheer due to the open mesh structure. For light‑colored standalone jerseys, we recommend using a liner or choosing a darker shade. For linings or underlayers, the natural sheerness is acceptable.

Q3: How does the diagonal pattern affect sublimation printing?
The diagonal mesh accepts sublimation ink well, but the open pattern will create a subtle textured effect – printed colors appear slightly dotted. For team names, numbers, and small logos, sublimation works cleanly. For full‑coverage solid prints, we recommend a solid jersey or a tighter micro mesh. White diagonal mesh is available as a ready‑to‑sublimate base.

Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this diagonal mesh?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 165GSM diagonal mesh fabric. The recycled yarn is sourced from post‑consumer PET bottles. The quick‑dry performance (21 minutes), breathability (240‑280 CFM), tear strength (>28N), and snag resistance (Grade 3.5) are all within 5% of the virgin version. The diagonal pattern and colorfastness are identical. 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, please add 10‑12 days for lab dip development and approval. Bulk production then takes 25‑30 days. Expedited service may be available for orders ≥1500 meters – please inquire.

Q6: How do I care for garments made from this diagonal mesh?
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 breathability. Avoid ironing directly on the mesh. Following these steps, the fabric will retain its quick‑dry performance for over 50 washes.
