170GSM Double Face Nylon Spandex Small Check One Side Plain for Sportswear
This 170GSM double face nylon spandex fabric features a subtle small check pattern on one side and a clean, smooth plain surface on the reverse, engineered for sportswear that demands style, stretch, and reversibility. The small check side adds a refined, textured aesthetic – perfect for visible outer panels – while the plain side offers a soft, non‑abrasive finish ideal for linings or minimalist designs. The 26% spandex content delivers true 4‑way stretch (over 180% elongation in both directions) with high recovery (>90%), ensuring leggings, bodysuits, and tops move freely and return to shape. At 170 grams per square meter, the fabric is lightweight yet fully opaque, providing squat‑proof confidence for yoga and training wear. The 74% nylon base gives a silky, comfortable hand and excellent moisture wicking (sweat dries in about 25 minutes). For reversible yoga leggings, dance bodysuits, swimwear, and activewear tops, this double‑face fabric offers two looks in one without adding weight or complexity.

Primary sportswear applications for 170GSM double‑face check fabric:

Q1: How is the small check pattern created – printed or knitted?
The small check pattern is knitted into the fabric using contrasting yarns. It is not printed, so it will never crack, peel, or fade. The pattern is permanent and remains sharp wash after wash.
Q2: Is 170GSM thick enough to avoid see‑through?
Yes. This double knit is fully opaque in all colors. The combination of nylon/spandex and double face construction passes the squat test with no show‑through, even in light shades.
Q3: Can I use this fabric for swimwear?
Yes, for recreational swimwear. Nylon/spandex is naturally chlorine‑resistant for moderate use. For frequent pool use, we recommend upgrading to a chlorine‑resistant finish (available on request, MOQ 1000m).
Q4: Is a recycled nylon version available for this double‑face check fabric?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled nylon version (ECONYL® equivalent) of this exact 170GSM double‑face fabric. The recycled yarn is sourced from pre‑ and post‑consumer nylon waste (e.g., fishing nets, carpet fibers). The mechanical properties – tear strength (>28N), stretch (>180%), recovery (>90%) – are all within 5% of the virgin version. The small check pattern, plain side finish, and soft hand 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 check/plain color combinations, lead time is 25‑30 days after order confirmation. For custom Pantone colors or custom check sizes, 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 double‑face fabric?
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 spandex fibers and reduce stretch recovery. Iron on low (synthetic setting) if needed. Following these steps, the fabric will retain its 4‑way stretch and double‑face appearance for over 50 washes.
