One-Way Moisture Transfer Fabric for Sportswear
SiPHONiX® one-way moisture transfer fabric is a development route for sportswear that needs preferential liquid movement from the skin-facing side to the outside. Specify the finished fabric by composition, construction, GSM, width, stretch and face orientation. Yarn denier alone does not define the fabric you will receive. This page covers fabric sourcing and sample approval; moisture performance must be confirmed after dyeing, finishing and the agreed care process.
Featured
Face-specific moisture behavior
Request evidence of the difference between skin-facing and outer surfaces after finishing.
Fit and comfort variables
Weight, width, stretch, opacity and hand feel must match the garment brief. Air permeability and drying are separate approval checks.
SiphoniX® Cool-dry Fabric Applications
Develop samples for running tops, soccer training jerseys, yoga garments or base layers. Each use needs its own balance of coverage, ventilation, stretch, recovery and printing compatibility. An open mesh suitable for a training top may not provide the opacity needed for fitted yoga apparel.
One-way moisture transfer fabric specification
| Parameter | What to include in the RFQ | Approval evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Composition | Polyester content, companion fibers and elastane if required | Construction sheet and composition verification |
| Construction | Jersey, mesh, plated or double-face candidate | Sample with skin and outer sides marked |
| GSM and width | Target finished weight, usable width and tolerances | Conditioned fabric measurements |
| Stretch and recovery | Required directions, fit and recovery limits | Agreed test and garment fitting |
| Appearance | Color, opacity, hand feel, surface and snag sensitivity | Lab dip, approved swatch and prototype |
| Finishing and printing | Softener, heat setting, sublimation or transfer process | Test after the intended production process |
| Moisture and care | Directional transfer, drying targets and wash protocol | Finished-fabric results for the exact construction |
Cutting orientation and sample approval
Mark the approved skin-facing side on sample cards, rolls and cutting instructions. Check that panels, seams, printing and trims preserve the intended direction. Compare an unprinted sample with the finished garment panel where printing or heat treatment may change wetting.
Test the exact dyed and finished fabric with the intended skin-facing side identified. Liquid transfer, drying, air permeability and water-vapor transmission are separate properties. Agree the test method, edition, conditioning, orientation and wash milestones with the laboratory before comparing samples.
The SiPHONiX technology page explains how to read the available report excerpts. Mills developing their own construction can review SiPHONiX polyester filament yarn. Use the yarn selection guide when comparing conventional wicking with directional development.
Fabric samples, MOQ and quotation
Send the application, composition, knit structure, GSM, usable width, stretch, opacity, color, printing route, skin side, wash requirements, order quantity and timeline. Request an available swatch, development sample or lab dip as appropriate. MOQ, sample charges and lead time depend on the approved construction and color; confirm them in the quotation.
