EP188 · 4‑Way Stretch / Lightweight / Breathable / UV Protection

Product Overview

EP188 is a lightweight woven fabric engineered for running shorts and performance apparel that require UV protection, breathability, and multidirectional mobility. The 75D four‑way stretch construction combines 42% coconut husk derived fiber, 48% polyester, and 10% spandex, producing a 130 g/m² material with a width of 56/57 inches. The yarn configuration (75D+40D)*(75D+40D) forms an open, breathable structure that supports air circulation and moisture management. The coconut husk fiber component provides natural odor resistance and moisture absorption. The polyester composition provides tensile strength and structural integrity, while the spandex content (10%) provides four‑way mechanical recovery after stretching. The material construction provides a barrier against ultraviolet radiation, reducing transmission through the fabric. As a manufacturer and exporter based in China, we supply EP188 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.

Core Advantages

4‑Way Mechanical Stretch — Fabric expands in warp, weft, and bias directions, supporting unrestricted movement during running.
Coconut Husk Fiber — The 42% coconut husk derived fiber provides natural odor resistance and moisture absorption properties.
UV Protection — The fiber composition and construction provide a barrier against ultraviolet radiation, reducing transmission through the fabric.
Breathable Construction — The open weave structure allows air circulation, reducing heat buildup during high‑intensity activity.
Lightweight Build — At 130 g/m², the material offers minimal weight, suitable for performance wear in warm conditions.
Consistent Width — 56/57″ width enables stable cutting layouts and reduces waste in production runs.

Product Characteristics

Coconut husk fiber — The 42% coconut husk derived fiber provides natural odor resistance and moisture absorption properties, supporting freshness during extended wear.
UV protection — The material construction provides UV protection with a UPF rating of 40+, blocking more than 97% of UV radiation.
Breathability — The open weave structure allows air to circulate through the fabric, reducing heat buildup and supporting temperature regulation.
4‑way stretch — The mechanical stretch allows elasticity in warp, weft, and bias directions, supporting freedom of movement.
Recovery — The 10% spandex content contributes to the fabric's ability to return to its original shape after stretching.
Lightweight — At 130 g/m², the material provides minimal weight, suitable for performance wear in warm conditions.

Application Scenarios

EP188 is designed for running shorts and performance apparel that require UV protection, breathability, and freedom of movement. The fabric's natural fiber blend and protective properties make it suitable for:

Running shorts — providing UV protection and odor resistance for outdoor runs in sunny conditions.
Training apparel — the breathable and stretch construction supports movement during gym and field workouts.
Summer performance wear — the lightweight and UV‑protective construction supports comfort in warm conditions.
Outdoor activewear — the natural fiber blend and breathability support comfort during extended outdoor activities.
