Ultra Lightweight Stretch Mesh 100GSM For Sportswear Lining
This 100GSM ultra lightweight stretch mesh is made from 87.7% polyester and 12.3% spandex, engineered specifically for sportswear linings that demand minimal weight, high breathability, and four‑way stretch. The fine small‑hole mesh structure allows air to circulate freely while remaining soft against the skin, making it ideal for jacket linings, bag pockets, and under‑jersey layers. At only 100 grams per square meter, this fabric is among the lightest stretch meshes available – a full‑size lining adds almost no bulk to finished garments. The 12.3% spandex content delivers comfortable 4‑way stretch (over 140% elongation) with good recovery, ensuring the lining moves with the athlete and returns to shape without sagging. The polyester base provides rapid moisture wicking (sweat dries in about 15 minutes) and excellent colorfastness. For breathable jacket linings, ventilated shoe compartments, cap inner panels, and lightweight training top underlayers, this ultra‑lightweight stretch mesh offers the perfect balance of ventilation, flexibility, and low weight.

Why this ultra‑lightweight stretch mesh is the ideal choice for sportswear linings:
100GSM – extremely lightweight – Adds almost no weight or bulk to jackets, bags, or garments. Perfect for reducing shipping costs and keeping gear packable.
4‑way stretch (over 140% elongation) – Moves freely with the outer fabric, preventing restriction and allowing full range of motion.
High breathability (350‑420 CFM) – Air flows freely, preventing heat and moisture buildup inside jackets, bags, or shoe compartments.
Quick drying (15 minutes from soaked) – Moisture evaporates rapidly, ideal for high‑sweat activities and humid environments.
Soft fine mesh – Gentle against the skin, no scratchiness. Comfortable for linings that contact the body directly.
Good recovery (>85%) – Holds its shape, does not stretch out permanently. Maintains consistent lining tension.
Easy care and colorfast – Machine wash cold, hang dry. Resists shrinking, fading, and pilling.
Primary lining applications for 100GSM ultra‑lightweight stretch mesh:
Jacket and windbreaker linings (breathable, non‑bulky)
Bag interiors and pocket linings (ventilated)
Cap and hat inner sweatbands or panels
Sportswear under‑jersey liners (moisture wicking)
Shoe upper inner linings and shoe compartments
Swimwear lining (quick dry, stretch)
Lightweight training top underlayers
Q1: Is this fabric see‑through?
Yes, it is intentionally sheer/transparent. This is by design for linings where opacity is not required. The open mesh structure provides maximum breathability. For opaque linings, please see our 150+ GSM double knits.
Q2: Is 100GSM strong enough for a jacket lining?
Yes, for standard lightweight jackets and windbreakers. Tear strength (>12N) is sufficient for normal wear – the lining is not subjected to direct abrasion. For heavy‑duty workwear linings, we recommend a 150‑200GSM option.
Q3: How does the 12.3% spandex affect the hand feel?
The spandex adds a subtle, smooth stretch that makes the fabric more pliable and less stiff than non‑stretch meshes. It conforms easily to curved panels (e.g., hat crowns, bag corners) without bunching.
Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this stretch mesh?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 100GSM stretch mesh. The recycled yarn is sourced from post‑consumer PET bottles. The mechanical properties – tear strength (>12N), stretch (>140%), air permeability (350‑420 CFM) – are all within 5% of the virgin version. The fine mesh structure, 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 linings made from this mesh?
Machine wash cold (30°C) 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 ironing directly on the mesh.
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.
