Sports Net / Eyelet Mesh

Weight	110–160 g/m²
Composition	100% polyester (mechanical give) or, for real stretch, a ~88–92% PES / 8–12% elastane variant.
Knit type	Sports net / eyelet mesh · Mesh & Net
Use class	Sport
Stretch	Mechanical stretch
Knit	An open net knit on a circular weft machine in a porous/eyelet pattern, forming clear, even holes.
Hand	Light, dry and airy; the holes are felt, loose-fluid drape, doesn’t cling.
Typical use	Football/basketball jerseys · sport shorts · vent panels
Strength	The benchmark for high-tempo sportswear needing maximum airflow and lightness.
Watch for	Large holes reduce coverage (a lining may be needed); big openings are prone to snagging/laddering.

Typical technical ranges

Weight tolerance	±5% (typical, dense/fine mesh); coarse open sports net and jacquard can run ±5–7% due to hole size/spacing and heat-set width-opening (very coarse builds may locally exceed ±7%)
Width	Open width typically ~150–190 cm; tubular ~30–100 cm. Spacer (double-bed) and jacquard on narrow machines usually sit near the low end. Exact width depends on machine diameter/needle count and finishing/heat-set set
Shrinkage (wash)	Up to ±3% after wash (with good heat-set usually ±1–3%); open/loose circular-knit net can reach ±4–5%, mainly lengthwise, with length/width difference being normal. PES has inherently low hygroscopic shrink; the main source is knit-tension relaxation, so it tracks heat-set quality
Color fastness	Wash 4–5, rubbing (dry) 4–5 / wet 3–4, light 4–6 (min grade). Disperse-dyed PES is generally good; deep/bright shades can sit near the low end for wet rub and perspiration
Abrasion / pilling	Typical Martindale ~15,000–40,000+ cycles; dense/fine builds (bird's-eye, jacquard, spacer) toward the top, coarse open net toward the bottom (on coarse open net, Martindale over the holes is of limited representativeness). Pilling typically 3–4 (filament PES sheds little fuzz). Main risk is snagging/laddering at large holes — not fuzzy pilling
Gauge / yarn	Typical machine gauge ~E18–E28 (coarse sports net E18–E22, fine lining/bird's-eye mesh E24–E28; spacer double-bed machines are a separate class). Yarn typically ~50–150 denier filament PES; fine microfilament lining mesh 50–75 den, structural/spacer heavier
