EP360 · 4‑Way Stretch / UV Protection / Breathable

Product Overview

EP360 is a woven fabric engineered for hybrid shorts and outdoor apparel that require UV protection, breathability, and multidirectional mobility. The astral construction combines 80% polyester, 12% cotton, and 8% spandex, producing a 160 g/m² material with a width of 57/58 inches. The yarn configuration (75D+40D)*(150D+40D)+30S forms a structured surface that supports breathability and a soft hand feel. The polyester composition provides tensile strength and wrinkle resistance, while the cotton content offers natural comfort and moisture absorption. The spandex content (8%) provides four‑way mechanical recovery after stretching. The material construction provides a barrier against ultraviolet radiation, reducing transmission through the fabric. The open weave structure allows air circulation, supporting temperature regulation during active use. As a manufacturer and exporter based in China, we supply EP360 in standard export packaging (carton + layer) with flexible shipping (FedEx/DHL/UPS/TNT for samples, air or sea for bulk). Lead time is 15 days for in‑stock items or 35‑40 days for production orders, with payment terms structured by order value.
