Mesh used in clothing

Mesh fabrics have been widely used in various apparel products, such as clothing linings, backpack nets, and shoe uppers.
What material is it made of? What are the characteristics of net cloth, here is a brief introduction to some knowledge about net cloth.

To be exact, mesh should be called warp knitted fabric, which is fabric woven by warp knitting machine. The mesh size and mesh depth of the mesh cloth can be woven by adjusting the needle method of the warp knitting machine according to the needs, such as our common diamond, triangle, hexagonal, and cylindrical, square, square and so on. The diversification of mesh shapes is a major feature of warp knitted fabrics. The range of warp knitted fabrics is very wide, and there are also a large number of applications in outdoor equipment.

At present, the materials used in mesh weaving are generally polyester, nylon and other chemical fibers, which have the characteristics of high strength, light weight, high resistance, low temperature, and good moisture absorption.

According to the nature of outdoor and sports activities, the inner layer of jackets and sportswear, mountaineering bags, uppers and inner linings of some shoes will be lined with mesh cloth. As an isolation layer between human sweat and clothing, it prevents moisture from being extremely tired on the surface of human skin, maintains smooth air circulation, avoids the wear of waterproof and breathable membranes, and makes clothing more comfortable to wear. The mesh used in some high-end clothing also uses fiber with moisture absorption and sweat wicking function to weave. Due to the different design concepts and manufacturing processes, some jackets use a three-layer composite fabric that is directly attached to the inner side of the breathable membrane. According to the needs and characteristics of use, some equipment also uses a mesh with a certain degree of elasticity woven from strong stretch fibers such as elastic yarns, such as water bottles and sundries mesh bags on the outside of mountaineering bags. Elastic mesh fabrics are used on the inside of the backpack, shoulder straps and other parts.

Finally, by the way, most fleece fabrics are also warp-knitted fabrics, which are made through finishing methods such as napping fabrics. Compared with mesh fabrics, the fabric density is only finer.
