EP222 · 4‑Way Stretch / Breathable / UV Resistance
Product Overview
EP222 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 90% polyester with 10% spandex, producing a 125 g/m² material with a width of 57/58 inches. The yarn configuration 75D+40D*75D+40D forms an open, breathable structure that supports air circulation and moisture management. The polyester composition provides tensile strength and wrinkle resistance, 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. The open weave structure allows air circulation, supporting temperature regulation during high‑intensity activity. As a manufacturer and exporter based in China, we supply EP222 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.
Breathable Construction — The open weave structure allows air circulation, reducing heat buildup during high‑intensity activity.
UV Resistance — The fiber composition and construction provide a barrier against ultraviolet radiation, reducing transmission through the fabric.
Lightweight Build — At 125 g/m², the material offers minimal weight, suitable for performance wear in warm conditions.
Wrinkle Resistance — The polyester composition supports recovery from folding and compression, maintaining a clean appearance.
Consistent Width — 57/58″ width enables stable cutting layouts and reduces waste in production runs.
Product Characteristics
UV resistance — 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 125 g/m², the material provides minimal weight, suitable for performance wear in warm conditions.
Polyester composition — The 90% polyester content provides tensile strength, wrinkle resistance, and structural integrity.
Application Scenarios
EP222 is designed for running shorts and performance apparel that require UV protection, breathability, and freedom of movement. The fabric's protective and stretch properties make it suitable for:
Running shorts — providing UV protection and breathability 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 UV resistance and breathability support comfort during extended outdoor activities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What level of UV protection does EP222 offer?
The fabric construction provides UV protection with a UPF rating of 40+, blocking more than 97% of UV radiation. Actual performance may vary with color and finishing.
Q: How breathable is EP222?
The open weave structure allows air to circulate through the fabric. The 125 g/m² weight and open construction support moisture evaporation and temperature regulation during high‑intensity activity.
Q: Is EP222 suitable for warm weather?
Yes. The 125 g/m² weight and breathable construction allow air circulation, making it suitable for warm conditions and summer outdoor activities.
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 EP222 be custom dyed or finished?
Yes. EP222 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 EP222?
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.
