Moisture-Wicking Single JerseyVolume / running
The training-tee quality: light, fast wicking, holds print and colour.

The gym floor is the harshest routine test a knit gets: heavy sweat, repeated abrasion on benches and bars, and fifty washes a year in a domestic machine. A fabric that passes a hand-feel test can still fail all three. So the questions worth asking are how fast the face moves sweat, what the surface does under abrasion, and whether the knit is still opaque after ten washes.
“Moisture wicking” on a spec sheet usually means the fibre is synthetic. What matters is vertical wicking rate and drying time on the finished fabric, tested before bulk. A brushed face holds water against the skin and slows drying, which is why the studio quality and the training quality in our range are different knits, not different colours of the same one.
Eyelet mesh belongs where transparency is acceptable and airflow is worth more than opacity: back panels, side seams, inner thighs on shorts, and under-arm gussets. Specifying mesh for the whole body means the garment fails the opacity test customers actually apply — the one in the changing room, in daylight.
High-sweat training leggings want the dense 85/15 quality: high modulus, opaque in light colours, resistant to pilling where the thigh rubs. Printed ranges and team kits want a polyester interlock that takes sublimation without losing hand or opacity after washing.

5 qualities for training
The training-tee quality: light, fast wicking, holds print and colour.
High-modulus compression for high-sweat leggings that must stay opaque.
Placement mesh for back panels, gussets and shorts.
Sublimation workhorse for team kits and printed training sets.
Texture for training sets where the knit is the design feature.
Before you commit
AATCC 195 or the equivalent vertical-wicking test on the finished knit, plus drying time. We run it on the sample colour and report the number — a wicking claim without a test result is just a fibre description.
A light single jersey at 150–180 gsm on a wicking yarn. Heavier knits feel substantial but hold more water; the tee should be the lightest fabric in the outfit, not the heaviest.
Yes, where you accept transparency — back panels, yokes, sleeve inserts. Not for a full front panel on a women’s training top unless the design includes a lining.
Spin, strength, HIIT and studio all fail differently. Tell us the session and the wash standard, and we will point at the quality that survives it.
