EP214 · Wicking / Breathable / Lightweight
Product Overview
EP214 is a lightweight woven fabric engineered for running shorts and performance apparel that require moisture management, breathability, and minimal weight. The 50D four‑way stretch construction combines 90% polyester with 10% spandex, producing a 90 g/m² (±3%) material with a width of 56/57 inches. The yarn configuration (50D+20D)*(50D+20D) with 127T*142T density forms an open, breathable structure that supports wicking and air circulation. The polyester composition wicks perspiration away from the skin, supporting evaporation during high‑intensity activity. The spandex content (10%) provides four‑way mechanical recovery after stretching. The fabric's lightweight construction minimizes bulk, supporting freedom of movement during running. As a manufacturer and exporter based in China, we supply EP214 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
Wicking — The polyester composition draws moisture away from the skin, supporting evaporation and reducing cling during high‑intensity activity.
Breathable Construction — The open weave structure allows air circulation, reducing heat buildup during running and active use.
Ultralightweight — At 90 g/m², the material offers minimal weight, suitable for performance wear in warm conditions.
4‑Way Mechanical Stretch — Fabric expands in warp, weft, and bias directions, supporting unrestricted movement during running.
Skin‑Friendly Surface — The fiber blend and finishing process reduce surface roughness, limiting irritation during prolonged contact.
Consistent Width — 56/57″ width enables stable cutting layouts and reduces waste in production runs.
Product Characteristics
Wicking — The polyester composition draws moisture away from the skin through capillary action, spreading it across the fabric surface for faster evaporation.
Breathability — The open weave structure allows air to circulate through the fabric, reducing heat buildup and supporting temperature regulation.
Ultralightweight — At 90 g/m², the material provides minimal weight, suitable for performance wear in warm conditions.
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.
Skin compatibility — The surface is processed to reduce friction against the skin, making it suitable for extended wear during running.
Application Scenarios
EP214 is designed for running shorts and performance apparel that require moisture management, breathability, and lightweight comfort. The fabric's wicking and stretch properties make it suitable for:
Running shorts — providing wicking and breathability for high‑intensity runs in warm conditions.
Training apparel — the lightweight and stretch construction supports movement during gym and field workouts.
Summer performance wear — the ultralightweight and breathable construction supports comfort in warm conditions.
Base layer garments — the wicking and skin‑friendly properties support comfort under outer layers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the wicking performance work?
The polyester composition draws moisture away from the skin through capillary action, spreading it across the fabric surface for faster evaporation. This reduces cling and supports temperature regulation during activity.
Q: How breathable is EP214?
The open weave structure allows air to circulate through the fabric. The 90 g/m² weight and open construction support moisture evaporation and temperature regulation during high‑intensity activity.
Q: Is EP214 suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. The fabric surface is processed to be skin‑friendly with low friction. The polyester/spandex blend is breathable and free from harsh chemicals in the base material.
Q: How does the stretch perform after washing?
The 4‑way stretch retains more than 90% of its original elasticity after 30 wash cycles under standard conditions (cold water, mild detergent). Air drying is recommended to preserve fabric properties.
Q: Can EP214 be custom dyed or finished?
Yes. EP214 is available in greige or ready‑dyed forms, and additional finishes such as anti‑static can be applied upon request.
Q: What is the MOQ for EP214?
MOQ is flexible based on stock availability. Sample orders are accepted in small quantities via express; bulk orders are subject to production scheduling and minimum yardage.
