Description

Airtex with a “big hole mesh” refers to a breathable, open-weave polyester fabric designed for high ventilation and comfort. Its distinctive large perforations (often described as fishnet or diamond mesh) enhance airflow and moisture control, making it ideal for active and performance use.

Key Properties & Features

Composition:
Typically manufactured from 100% polyester or a polyester/spandex blend for added stretch and flexibility.

Breathability:
The open-knit structure with large holes allows excellent air circulation, helping regulate body temperature and reduce heat build-up during physical activity.

Moisture Management:
Engineered to wick sweat away from the skin, allowing quick evaporation to keep the wearer cool and dry.

Durability:
Despite its open weave, Airtex mesh is resilient and resistant to abrasion and tearing — particularly in reinforced or heavy-duty variations.

Lightweight:
Extremely lightweight, enhancing comfort, ease of movement, and overall performance.

Air Circulation:
Round or diamond-shaped perforations promote consistent airflow, improving ventilation and wearer comfort.

Common Applications

Sportswear:
Popular for basketball jerseys, soccer kits, running shirts, gym apparel, and other athletic garments.

Linings:
Used as breathable linings in jackets, sports bags, backpacks, and protective gear.

Footwear:
Integrated into athletic shoes to increase ventilation and reduce moisture build-up.

Furniture Upholstery:
Applied in office chairs and vehicle seating where airflow improves comfort.

Fashion & Costuming:
The fishnet-style mesh is widely used in fashion pieces, dancewear, stage costumes, and trend-driven garments.

A practical, performance-driven fabric choice for applications where breathability, comfort, and durability are essential.
