82/18 Polyester Elastane Transverse Mesh Breathable Quick Dry
This 135GSM transverse mesh fabric is made from 82% polyester and 18% spandex, engineered for sportswear that demands exceptional breathability, rapid moisture evaporation, and a unique horizontal opening structure. The “transverse mesh” design features elongated, oval‑shaped openings aligned horizontally across the fabric, creating continuous air channels that allow heat and sweat vapor to escape instantly. At 135 grams per square meter, the fabric is ultra‑lightweight – a full‑size training top or sports bra panel adds almost no weight, keeping athletes cool during high‑intensity activity. The quick dry property is inherent to the polyester fibers: moisture evaporates in about 17 minutes at room temperature, making it ideal for hot yoga, summer training, and swimwear cover‑ups. The 18% spandex content delivers comfortable 4‑way stretch (over 150% elongation) with good recovery (>86%), so the fabric moves freely with every pose and returns to shape. For mesh panel leggings, breathable sports bras, dance costumes, and festival tops, this transverse mesh offers the perfect combination of airflow, stretch, and lightweight comfort.

Why this transverse mesh is the ideal choice for breathable, quick‑dry sportswear:
Transverse (horizontal) openings maximize airflow – Elongated holes aligned across the fabric create continuous ventilation channels. Air permeability 340‑400 CFM keeps you cool.
Ultra‑lightweight (135GSM) – Almost weightless. Perfect for summer layering, dance costumes, and sports bra panels.
Quick drying (17 minutes from soaked) – Sweat evaporates faster than most performance meshes. Ideal for hot yoga, poolside, and multi‑session training.
4‑way stretch (over 150% elongation) – Moves freely with every stretch, kick, and pose. No restriction, no binding.
Soft hand and comfortable – Fine polyester/spandex yarns feel smooth against the skin, with no rough edges around the mesh openings.
Good recovery (>86%) – Holds its shape, does not stretch out permanently.
Easy care – Machine wash cold, hang dry. Resists shrinking, fading, and pilling.
Primary sportswear applications for 135GSM transverse mesh:
Sports bras (breathable back panels or full mesh)
Dance leotards and bodysuits (ventilated inserts)
Festival and rave tops (sheer overlay)
Yoga tops and leggings (side mesh panels)
Swimwear cover‑ups (quick dry, stylish)
Training tops and singlet side vents
Lingerie and intimate apparel accents
Q1: How does transverse mesh differ from standard hexagonal mesh?
Standard hexagonal mesh has uniform, straight‑aligned openings. Transverse mesh has elongated, horizontal oval openings that create directional airflow channels. This orientation can improve ventilation across the body (e.g., across the chest or back) and offers a unique aesthetic that stands out from ordinary meshes.
Q2: Is 135GSM see‑through?
Yes, this fabric is intentionally sheer/transparent. This is by design for layered looks, overlays, and ventilated panels. For opaque use, we recommend layering over a solid base or choosing a darker color (which still remains semi‑transparent). For full opacity, see our 200+ GSM double knits.
Q3: Does the transverse mesh snag easily?
The fabric has a snag resistance rating of Grade 3 (ASTM D3939), which is acceptable for performance mesh. Normal wear – contact with dance floors, yoga mats, or gym benches – will not cause significant snags. Avoid sharp jewelry or velcro directly against the fabric.
Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this transverse mesh?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 135GSM transverse mesh. The recycled yarn is sourced from post‑consumer PET bottles. The mechanical properties – tear strength (>13N), stretch (>150%), air permeability (340‑400 CFM) – are all within 5% of the virgin version. The transverse opening pattern, 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 garments made from this transverse mesh?
Machine wash cold (30°C) gentle cycle with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry – the fabric dries very quickly. Do not use fabric softener; it can coat the fibers and reduce breathability. Avoid ironing directly on the mesh. Following these steps, the fabric will retain its transverse mesh pattern and stretch for over 50 washes.
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.
