390GSM Nylon Spandex Pique Mesh Heavy Duty Breathable For Jacket
This 390GSM nylon spandex pique mesh is engineered for heavy‑duty jackets that require exceptional durability, breathability, and a structured, textured appearance. The pique mesh construction – a raised honeycomb face with subtle open pores – allows air to circulate while maintaining a dense, abrasion‑resistant surface. At 390 grams per square meter, this fabric falls into the heavy‑weight category, providing outstanding tear strength, shape retention, and wind resistance for outerwear that faces daily wear, outdoor elements, and heavy use. The 2% spandex content adds just enough stretch (approximately 40‑50% elongation) for mobility and improved fit, while the 98% nylon base delivers superior abrasion resistance, colorfastness, and quick drying. For motorcycle jackets, tactical outerwear, work jackets, and heavy‑duty sports gear, this breathable heavy‑weight pique mesh provides the rugged performance and comfort that demanding applications require.

Why this heavy‑duty pique mesh is the perfect choice for jackets:
390GSM heavy weight for rugged protection – Exceptionally tear‑resistant (>110N) and abrasion‑resistant (80,000 Martindale cycles). Ideal for motorcycle jackets, tactical vests, and work outerwear.
Breathable pique mesh (70‑100 CFM) – Honeycomb texture allows heat and sweat vapor to escape, preventing overheating during active use. More comfortable than solid heavy fabrics.
2% spandex adds mobility – Provides just enough stretch (≈45%) for shoulder and elbow movement without sacrificing shape retention.
Nylon base for superior durability – Nylon is naturally more abrasion‑resistant and tear‑strong than polyester, making it ideal for high‑stress outdoor gear.
Wind‑resistant yet breathable – The dense pique structure blocks light to moderate winds while maintaining airflow.
Quick drying (35 minutes from soaked) – Rain or sweat evaporates rapidly. Jackets are ready for the next mission or ride.
Colorfast and easy care – Resists fading from UV and washing. Machine wash cold, line dry. No ironing needed.
Primary jacket and outerwear applications for 390GSM nylon spandex pique mesh:
Motorcycle riding jackets (abrasion‑resistant, breathable)
Tactical and law enforcement outerwear
Industrial work jackets and utility vests
Heavy‑duty team outerwear (football, baseball warm‑ups)
Outdoor hunting and hiking jackets
Backpack outer panels and heavy‑duty gear bags
Car seat covers (breathable, durable)
Q1: How does nylon pique mesh compare to polyester pique mesh for heavy duty use?
Nylon has significantly higher abrasion resistance and tear strength than polyester of the same weight. For heavy‑duty jackets (motorcycle, tactical, industrial), nylon is the preferred choice because it withstands repeated friction and stress without breaking down. Polyester is more UV‑resistant and less expensive, but for maximum durability, nylon outperforms.
Q2: Is 390GSM too heavy for a jacket that needs breathability?
No. Despite its heavy weight, the pique mesh structure provides 70‑100 CFM air permeability – enough to prevent overheating during physical activity. For comparison, many non‑breathable heavy jackets have <5 CFM. This fabric balances protection and comfort.
Q3: Can this fabric be laminated to a waterproof membrane?
Yes. The pique surface accepts lamination well. We offer optional TPU or ePTFE membrane lamination for fully waterproof, breathable jackets. Minimum order for lamination is 1000 meters. Please specify when requesting a quote.
Q4: Is a recycled nylon version available for this heavy‑duty pique mesh?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled nylon version (ECONYL® equivalent) of this exact 390GSM pique mesh. The recycled yarn is sourced from pre‑ and post‑consumer nylon waste (e.g., fishing nets, carpet fibers). The mechanical properties – tear strength (>110N), abrasion resistance (80,000 cycles), and air permeability (70‑100 CFM) – are all within 5% of the virgin version. The pique texture and stretch 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 jackets made from this nylon spandex pique mesh?
Machine wash cold (30°C) gentle cycle 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. For water‑repellent finishes, reactivate by low tumble dry for 10 minutes after washing.
Q7: Can I get custom colors for my 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.
