High-Compression Nylon Spandex 85/15 — Custom Manufacturer & Wholesale Supplier

The workhorse of premium training wear. A dense, slick-faced nylon spandex that holds compression through the movement, stays opaque in the deepest squat, and takes high-contrast print without losing its hand.

Buyer questions

High-Compression Nylon Spandex 85/15 — what buyers ask

What makes a fabric squat-proof?

Opacity under stretch. It is a function of knit density, yarn count and colour — not a marketing claim. Dark colours hide more; light colours need a denser knit or a heavier weight. We test light-colour samples under stretch and can show you the result before you commit.

Is 85/15 better than 80/20?

It depends on the garment. 85/15 gives a firmer, more compressive hand and better opacity at the same weight — good for training wear. 80/20 or 75/25 drapes softer and suits the nude-feel category. Many brands run both: one for performance, one for studio.

How do I check recovery?

Ask for elongation and residual growth figures, not just 'high stretch'. Our spec sheet reports elongation % and recovery % after repeated extension; bulk is tested against the approved sample.

What is the minimum order?

300 kg per colour dyed-to-order, with stock shades available in sample lengths for evaluation.
