Elongated Birdseye Mesh 130GSM Quick Dry For Sportswear T Shirt
This 130GSM elongated birdseye mesh is made from 100% polyester and engineered specifically for sportswear t‑shirts that demand ultra‑fast drying, high breathability, and a distinctive vertical texture. Unlike traditional round‑dot birdseye, the “elongated” pattern features stretched, oval‑shaped recesses arranged in clean vertical lines, creating a modern, slimming aesthetic that also enhances capillary wicking. At 130 grams per square meter, the fabric is ultra‑lightweight – a finished t‑shirt weighs approximately 100‑120 grams, making it ideal for summer running, training, and casual wear. The quick dry property is inherent to the polyester fibers: sweat evaporates in about 18 minutes at room temperature, keeping the wearer dry through intense intervals or humid conditions. The open mesh structure allows air to flow freely (air permeability 240‑280 CFM), preventing overheating. For performance t‑shirts, lightweight base layers, and breathable team jerseys, this elongated birdseye mesh delivers rapid moisture management and all‑day comfort.

Why this elongated birdseye mesh is the perfect choice for quick‑dry sportswear t‑shirts:
Quick drying – 18 minutes from soaked – Sweat evaporates faster than most cotton or standard poly knits. Ideal for hot weather, high‑humidity training, and multi‑session tournaments.
Elongated birdseye texture enhances wicking – The stretched oval recesses create vertical capillary channels that pull sweat away from the skin more effectively than round birdseye.
130GSM ultra‑lightweight – T‑shirts feel almost weightless. Reduces fatigue during long runs or matches. Packs small for travel.
Breathable (240‑280 CFM) – Air flows freely through the elongated openings, keeping the body cool even during intense activity.
Modern vertical stripe visual – The elongated pattern gives a clean, vertical ribbed appearance that is slimming and sporty – a step up from basic mesh.
Soft hand and non‑scratchy – The fine edges of the elongated birdseye are gentle against the skin. No irritation, even during all‑day wear.
Easy care – Machine wash cold, hang dry. Resists shrinking, fading, and pilling. No ironing required.
Primary t‑shirt and sportswear applications for 130GSM elongated birdseye mesh:
Performance running t‑shirts and race singlets
Lightweight training tops and practice jerseys
Summer soccer and basketball jerseys (light and cool)
Base layers for cycling and hiking
Breathable casual t‑shirts for hot climates
Gym and fitness shirts (moisture wicking)
Team uniform inner liners
Q1: What is the difference between elongated birdseye and regular birdseye?
Regular birdseye has round or oval recesses that are roughly the same size in both directions. Elongated birdseye has stretched, longer oval recesses aligned vertically, which creates a subtle vertical stripe effect. This orientation improves directional wicking (moisture moves faster along the vertical channels) and gives a more modern, slimming appearance on the body.
Q2: Is 130GSM see‑through?
Dark colors (black, navy, royal, charcoal) are fully opaque. Light colors (white, light grey, pastels) may be slightly sheer due to the open mesh structure. For light‑colored standalone t‑shirts where full opacity is required, we recommend using a liner or choosing a darker color. For undershirts or layering, slight sheerness is acceptable.
Q3: Does the elongated birdseye texture snag or pill easily?
No. The fabric has a pilling resistance of Grade 4 (excellent) and snag resistance of Grade 3.5 (good). It withstands normal wear – backpack straps, gym benches, or occasional Velcro contact – without rapid deterioration. For high‑abrasion environments, we recommend a heavier fabric.
Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this elongated birdseye mesh?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 130GSM elongated birdseye mesh. The recycled yarn is sourced from post‑consumer PET bottles. The mechanical properties – tear strength (>19N), air permeability (240‑280 CFM), drying time (18 minutes) – are all within 5% of the virgin version. The elongated birdseye pattern, soft hand, and wicking performance 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 t‑shirts made from this 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 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.
