150GSM Cationic Polyester Butterfly V Mesh Breathable Lightweight
This 150GSM cationic polyester butterfly V mesh is engineered for sportswear and fashion apparel that demand high breathability, light weight, and a distinctive visual pattern. The “butterfly V” mesh features small, V‑shaped openings arranged in a repeating butterfly‑like formation, creating a unique textured surface that stands out from standard round or hexagonal meshes. The cationic polyester yarns provide a subtle two‑tone or heather effect when dyed, adding depth without extra processing. At 150 grams per square meter, the fabric is lightweight – a finished training top or lining adds minimal weight, reducing athlete fatigue. The open mesh structure allows air to circulate freely (air permeability 220‑260 CFM), keeping the wearer cool during high‑intensity activity. The 100% cationic polyester composition ensures rapid moisture wicking (sweat dries in about 20 minutes), excellent colorfastness, and easy care. For summer sportswear, breathable linings, fashion t‑shirts, and cap panels, this butterfly V mesh delivers both performance and a premium aesthetic.

Why this butterfly V mesh stands out for breathable lightweight sportswear:
Unique butterfly V pattern – The V‑shaped openings create a distinctive, premium look unlike standard meshes. Perfect for fashion‑forward sportswear and lifestyle apparel.
Cationic polyester for subtle two‑tone effect – When dyed, the fabric achieves a soft heather or contrast appearance that adds visual depth without printing.
Lightweight 150GSM – Ideal for summer uniforms, travel tops, and breathable linings. Reduces overall garment weight.
High breathability (220‑260 CFM) – Air flows freely through the V‑shaped openings, keeping the wearer cool during exercise.
Quick drying (20 minutes from soaked) – Sweat evaporates rapidly, making it suitable for humid climates and multi‑session activities.
Moisture wicking – The open structure and polyester fibers pull sweat away from the skin.
Soft hand and snag resistant – The fine mesh edges are gentle on skin and resist pulls from normal wear (Grade 3.5 snag resistance).
Easy care – Machine wash cold, hang dry. Resists shrinking, fading, and pilling.
Primary applications for 150GSM cationic butterfly V mesh:
Summer sportswear tops and training jerseys
Breathable jacket and vest linings
Cap and hat side panels (unique pattern visible)
Fashion t‑shirts and polo shirt inserts
Swimwear cover‑ups (quick dry, lightweight)
Bag ventilation pockets and shoe compartments
Scarf and neck gaiters for warm weather
Q1: What makes the butterfly V mesh different from regular small mesh?
Regular small mesh typically has round or hexagonal openings arranged in a uniform grid. Butterfly V mesh features V‑shaped openings that are mirrored to form a butterfly‑like pattern. This not only looks more distinctive and premium but also creates slightly different airflow dynamics – the V shape can help direct air movement. The pattern is knitted in, not printed, so it will never wash out.
Q2: Is 150GSM thick enough to avoid being see‑through?
Dark colors (black, navy, charcoal, royal blue) are fully opaque. Light colors (white, light grey, pastels) may be slightly sheer due to the open mesh structure. For light‑colored standalone garments where opacity is critical, we recommend using a liner or choosing a darker shade. For linings or layered wear, the slight sheerness is acceptable.
Q3: How does the cationic polyester two‑tone effect work?
Cationic polyester yarns are modified to attract cationic (basic) dyes more strongly than standard polyester. When knitted alone, cationic polyester can be dyed to rich, vibrant colors. When blended with regular polyester in the same fabric, a single dye bath produces a two‑tone or heather effect. Our butterfly V mesh is 100% cationic, but the fine yarns still create a subtle tonal variation that adds depth compared to standard polyester.
Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this butterfly V mesh?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 150GSM butterfly V mesh. The recycled yarn is sourced from post‑consumer PET bottles. The mechanical properties – tear strength (>20N), air permeability (220‑260 CFM), drying time (20 minutes) – are all within 5% of the virgin version. The butterfly V pattern, soft hand, and cationic dyeing response 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 cationic two‑tone colors (any combination of Pantone shades), add 10‑12 days for lab dip development and approval. Bulk production then takes 25‑30 days. Expedited service may be available for orders ≥2000 meters – please inquire.
Q6: How do I care for garments made from this butterfly V 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. Iron on low (synthetic setting) if needed. The butterfly pattern and cationic color will remain sharp for over 50 washes.
Q7: Can I customize the butterfly V pattern or only the colors?
The butterfly V pattern is fixed as a standard design. We do not offer custom mesh pattern development for this product. However, you can customize colors (standard or cationic two‑tone), and we can adjust the fabric width within limits. For completely unique mesh patterns, please inquire about our custom development service (MOQ 2000 meters).
