Moisture-Wicking Single Jersey
The everyday performance jersey — wicks, dries fast, and takes team print without warping.
Home / Fabrics / Sportswear fabrics / Chlorine-Resistant Swimwear Knit
Swim fabric fails in one of two places: elasticity after a season in chlorinated water, or colour after a summer in the sun. This quality is specified against both, because that is what a swim brand is judged on twelve months later.

Buyer questions
Nylon feels softer and takes colour deeper; PBT resists chlorine better and holds shape longer in pool use. Most brands run nylon for resort and PBT or nylon-PBT blends for training swim.
That is a testable question, not an opinion. We supply chlorine colourfastness results against the standard your market uses and dye to meet it — dark saturated colours are the hard case.
The tight knit construction gives UPF 50+ protection; a test certificate can be arranged when your customer's compliance team requires one.
300 kg per colour dyed-to-order; swim qualities are dyed in dedicated runs, so allow 30 days after lab dip approval.

We post physical swatches in 3–5 days, and can run a lab dip against your Pantone reference in parallel so colour and hand-feel are approved at the same time.
