160 Gsm Jacquard Ribbed Fabric Polyester Fabric 90% Polyester 9% Viscose 1% Spandex Fabric for Sportswear
Our 160 GSM Jacquard Ribbed Fabric is a lightweight, high-performance textile engineered specifically for the competitive sportswear market. By combining a technical jacquard weave with a specialized polyester-rich blend, we have created a fabric that excels in high-heat environments.
Fabric Overview: A featherweight 160 GSM construction featuring a distinctive vertical ribbed texture produced through advanced jacquard knitting technology.
Performance Profile: Optimized for maximum airflow and rapid moisture evaporation; the viscose infusion provides a soft-touch finish against the skin.
Manufacturing Grade: Highly stable construction with minimal shrinkage, designed for high-speed garment assembly and technical activewear designs.

1. Advanced Jacquard Ribbed Structure for Enhanced Airflow
The defining feature of this Polyester Blend Fabric is its technical jacquard ribbed texture. This is not merely an aesthetic choice; the raised ribs create "micro-channels" that lift the fabric slightly off the skin. This reduces the "cling" factor during heavy perspiration and facilitates a constant stream of airflow. For sportswear brands, this structural innovation provides a tangible "cooling" selling point that differentiates your products from flat-knit competitors.
2. Rapid Moisture Transport & Quick-Dry Technology
The 90% high-performance Polyester content is the engine behind this fabric's quick-dry capability. Polyester is inherently hydrophobic, meaning it does not retain water. When combined with the increased surface area of the ribbed texture, moisture is pulled away from the skin via capillary action and distributed across the surface for lightning-fast evaporation. This ensures athletes remain dry, light, and focused during high-intensity training sessions.
3. The 9% Viscose Infusion: Softness Without Weight
While pure polyester can sometimes feel "synthetic" or abrasive, our blend incorporates 9% Viscose. This botanical fiber adds a critical layer of softness and moisture absorption to the interior of the fabric. It bridges the gap between technical performance and wearer comfort, making the garment suitable for long-duration wear. The result is a high-performance top that feels as comfortable as a lifestyle piece but performs like a professional athletic tool.
4. Dimensional Stability & Shape Retention
At 160 GSM, this fabric is exceptionally light but remains structurally sound. The integration of 1% Spandex, combined with the inherent elasticity of the ribbed knit, provides the perfect amount of "give" for athletic movement. More importantly, the polyester-heavy blend ensures the fabric retains its shape and does not "stretch out" or bag after repeated wash-and-wear cycles, a vital quality for maintaining the premium look of a clothing brand.
5. Optimized for High-Speed Sportswear Manufacturing
For manufacturers, workability is profit. This fabric is engineered to be stable on the cutting table; the edges do not curl, and the jacquard pattern remains consistent across the entire roll width. It is compatible with flat-lock stitching and heat-transfer branding, allowing for the sleek, seamless look that modern fitness consumers demand.
This Jacquard Ribbed fabric is the ideal choice for high-activity sportswear lines:
Elite Running & Marathon Gear: The 160 GSM weight and quick-dry properties make it perfect for singlets and racing tees where every gram of weight matters.
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) Apparel: The ribbed structure provides the necessary ventilation for gym-goers performing explosive movements in high-temperature environments.
Technical Base Layers: Its low-profile thickness and soft viscose touch make it an excellent choice for moisture-wicking base layers for cycling, hiking, or team sports.
Performance Athleisure: The sophisticated jacquard texture offers a "premium tech" look suitable for high-end lifestyle polos and active tops.

Q1: How does the "Quick-Dry" performance hold up after multiple industrial washes?
A: Since the quick-dry property is a result of the inherent fiber characteristics (Polyester) and the physical structure (Ribbed Knit), it cannot be "washed out." Unlike chemical coatings, this performance is permanent for the life of the garment.
Q2: Does the ribbed texture affect the application of heat-transfer logos?
A: The 160 GSM rib is fine-gauge, meaning it provides a sufficiently flat surface for standard heat-transfer films. However, for large-area prints, we recommend a slightly higher pressure or the use of "stretch" films to ensure total adhesion between the ribs.
Q3: Can you customize the jacquard pattern or the rib width?
A: Yes. As a specialized manufacturer, we can adjust the jacquard programming to create custom textures, branding patterns, or specific rib spacing for orders meeting our minimum quantity (MOQ) requirements.
Q4: Is this fabric prone to snagging due to the jacquard structure?
A: We use high-tenacity, low-filament polyester yarns to minimize the risk of snagging. The fabric passes standard industrial snagging tests, making it rugged enough for gym and outdoor sports applications.
