EP101 · 4‑Way Stretch / Water Repellent / Skin Friendly
Product Overview
EP101 is a lightweight woven fabric engineered for sport rain jackets and performance outerwear that require water repellency, skin comfort, and multidirectional mobility. The 70D nylon stretch construction combines 95% nylon with 5% spandex, producing a 98 g/m² material with a width of 52/53 inches. The yarn configuration 70D*70D+40D forms a durable, lightweight structure that supports water repellency and breathability. The nylon composition provides tensile strength and abrasion resistance, while the spandex content (5%) provides four‑way mechanical recovery after stretching. A water‑repellent finish reduces water absorption, allowing the fabric to shed moisture in wet conditions. The surface is processed to minimize friction against the skin, reducing irritation during extended wear. The lightweight construction minimizes bulk, supporting freedom of movement during active sports. As a manufacturer and exporter based in China, we supply EP101 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 sports and outdoor activities.
Water Repellent Finish — The fabric is treated to reduce water absorption, allowing the fabric to shed moisture in wet conditions.
Skin‑Friendly Surface — The surface is processed to minimize friction against the skin, reducing irritation during extended wear.
Lightweight Build — At 98 g/m², the material offers minimal weight, suitable for active sports wear.
Durable Construction — The nylon composition provides tensile strength and abrasion resistance for active use.
Consistent Width — 52/53″ width enables stable cutting layouts and reduces waste in production runs.
Product Characteristics
Water repellency — The fabric is treated with a durable water‑repellent finish that reduces water absorption, allowing moisture to bead and roll off the surface.
4‑way stretch — The mechanical stretch allows elasticity in warp, weft, and bias directions, supporting freedom of movement.
Skin compatibility — The surface is processed to reduce friction against the skin, making it suitable for extended wear during sports.
Recovery — The 5% spandex content contributes to the fabric's ability to return to its original shape after stretching.
Lightweight — At 98 g/m², the material provides minimal weight, suitable for active sports wear.
Nylon composition — The 95% nylon content provides tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and structural integrity.
Application Scenarios
EP101 is designed for sport rain jackets and performance outerwear that require water repellency, lightweight comfort, and freedom of movement. The fabric's protective and stretch properties make it suitable for:
Sport rain jackets — providing water repellency and stretch for outdoor sports in wet conditions.
Running jackets — the lightweight and water‑repellent construction supports comfort during runs in light rain.
Cycling jackets — the 4‑way stretch and water‑repellent properties support movement and protection during cycling.
Outdoor activewear — the lightweight and protective construction supports comfort during outdoor activities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the water repellency rating of EP101?
The fabric is treated with a durable water‑repellent finish that provides resistance to light rain and moisture. The water repellency is measured by the AATCC 22 spray test, with results showing 80+ rating on the initial test.
Q: Is EP101 suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. The fabric surface is processed to be skin‑friendly with low friction. The nylon/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 the water‑repellent finish and fabric properties.
Q: How lightweight is EP101?
The fabric weighs 98 g/m², providing minimal weight for active sports wear. This lightweight construction reduces bulk and supports freedom of movement.
Q: Can EP101 be custom dyed or finished?
Yes. EP101 is available in greige or ready‑dyed forms, and additional finishes such as UV protection can be applied upon request.
Q: What is the MOQ for EP101?
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.
