130GSM Fine Birdseye Texture Quick Dry For Summer Sportswear
This 130GSM fine birdseye texture fabric is made from 100% polyester and engineered specifically for summer sportswear that demands rapid moisture evaporation, lightweight comfort, and a premium surface finish. The fine birdseye pattern – small, closely spaced diamond‑shaped recesses – creates a subtle textured surface that increases capillary action, pulling sweat away from the skin faster than plain knits. At 130 grams per square meter, the fabric is ultra‑lightweight: a full‑size summer training top or jersey lining weighs only about 100‑120 grams, making it virtually unnoticeable during high‑intensity activity. The quick dry property is inherent to the polyester fibers – sweat evaporates in approximately 18 minutes at room temperature, keeping athletes dry between drills and after sudden rain. The fine birdseye structure also provides a soft, non‑scratchy hand feel, unlike coarser performance meshes. For running singlets, summer soccer jerseys, base layers, and breathable linings, this fine birdseye fabric delivers the perfect combination of fast drying, lightweight performance, and all‑day comfort.

Why this fine birdseye fabric is the ideal choice for summer sportswear:
Ultra‑lightweight 130GSM – Feels almost weightless. Reduces athlete fatigue and allows unrestricted movement in hot conditions.
Quick drying – 18 minutes from soaked – Sweat evaporates faster than most sport fabrics. Perfect for humid climates, multi‑game tournaments, and sudden showers.
Fine birdseye texture enhances wicking – The small diamond recesses create capillary channels that pull moisture away from the skin more effectively than flat knits.
Breathable (250‑300 CFM) – Air flows freely through the fine birdseye openings, preventing overheating during intense summer training.
Soft hand and non‑scratchy – Unlike coarse meshes, the fine birdseye feels smooth and gentle against the skin, comfortable for all‑day wear.
Wide 180cm width – Provides efficient cutting for large jersey panels, reducing waste and lowering production costs.
Easy care – Machine wash cold, hang dry. Resists shrinking, fading, and pilling. No ironing needed.
Primary summer sportswear applications for 130GSM fine birdseye:
Running singlets and race vests
Summer soccer jerseys and training bibs
Lightweight base layers for cycling and hiking
Breathable linings for jackets and shorts
Cap and hat side panels (cooling, breathable)
Gym training tops and tank tops
Swim cover‑ups and beachwear
Q1: What makes fine birdseye different from regular birdseye or mesh?
Fine birdseye has smaller, more closely spaced diamond recesses compared to standard birdseye. This creates a softer, less aggressive texture that is more comfortable against the skin while still providing excellent wicking. Unlike open meshes with large holes, fine birdseye is semi‑opaque in light colors and fully opaque in dark colors, offering more design versatility.
Q2: Is 130GSM thick enough to avoid see‑through?
Dark colors (black, navy, royal, charcoal) are fully opaque. Light colors (white, light grey, pastels) may be slightly sheer due to the lightweight open structure. For light‑colored standalone jerseys where full opacity is required, we recommend using a liner or choosing a darker shade. For linings or layered tops, slight sheerness is acceptable.
Q3: Does the fine birdseye texture pill or snag easily?
No. The fabric has a pilling resistance rating of Grade 4 (excellent) and snag resistance of Grade 3.5 (good). It withstands normal summer sportswear use – contact with velcro, bag straps, or benches may cause occasional minor pulls, but the fabric will not pill or rapidly deteriorate.
Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this fine birdseye fabric?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 130GSM fine birdseye fabric. The recycled yarn is sourced from post‑consumer PET bottles. The mechanical properties – tear strength (>18N), air permeability (250‑300 CFM), drying time (18 minutes), and wicking performance – are all within 5% of the virgin version. The fine birdseye texture, soft hand, 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, 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 summer sportswear made from this fine birdseye fabric?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry – the fabric dries extremely quickly. Do not use fabric softener; it can coat the fibers and reduce wicking and breathability. Iron on low (synthetic setting) if needed. Following these steps, the fabric will retain its quick‑dry performance and fine birdseye texture for over 50 washes.
Q7: Can I get custom colors for my team or brand?
Yes. For exact Pantone matching, the minimum order is 500 meters. Lab dip lead time is 10‑12 days. Pre‑production samples are available for approval.
