Direct Factory Lightweight Ice‑Silk Men's Sportswear
Ice‑silk is a regenerated cellulose fiber engineered for low density and high moisture transport. Its filament structure yields a fabric weight typically between 110 and 130 g/m², which reduces garment mass while maintaining coverage. Producing directly from the factory eliminates intermediary handling, allowing tighter control over yarn consistency and finish.
Material Composition & Construction
The base fabric combines 85 % ice‑silk viscose with 15 % elastane to provide four‑way stretch. Yarn count is usually 150 denier for the silk component and 40 denier for the elastane, resulting in a thickness of approximately 0.45 mm. Flatlock seams are applied to minimize chafing and reduce seam bulk to under 0.2 mm.
Performance Characteristics
Moisture regain of ice‑silk measures around 0.4 % at 65 % relative humidity, enabling rapid sweat dispersion. Air permeability tests show values exceeding 300 mm/s, supporting breathability during high‑intensity activity. UV protection factor (UPF) of the untreated fabric rates at 15‑20, and can be raised to 40+ with a optional UV‑absorbing finish.
- Tensile strength: 30‑38 MPa (warp), 25‑32 MPa (weft)
- Elongation at break: 45‑55 % (warp), 50‑60 % (weft)
- Pilling resistance (Martindale): ≥ 3000 cycles
Applications
The low mass and high moisture transfer make the garment suitable for endurance sports where thermal regulation is critical, such as long‑distance running and cycling. The four‑way stretch accommodates dynamic movements in training circuits, while the smooth surface reduces skin friction during repetitive motion. Teams requiring layered systems benefit from the thin profile that fits comfortably under shells or vests.
Customization Options
Buyers can specify adjustments to dimensions, color, and branding without altering core fabric properties. Typical size ranges span from S to 3XL with chest girth tolerance of ± 2 cm. Color matching follows Pantone textile standards, and logo application can be performed via water‑based ink printing or heat‑transfer vinyl, both preserving breathability.
- Length adjustments: ± 5 cm on inseam and sleeve
- Panel inserts: mesh or reflective tape
- Waistband options: elastic, drawcord, or silicone grip
Quality Control & Testing
Inspection follows a three‑stage protocol: raw material verification, in‑process monitoring, and final audit. Each batch undergoes tensile, elongation, and moisture regain tests on a calibrated tensile tester. Visual inspection checks for stitch consistency, seam flatness, and color uniformity under D65 lighting.
| Test | Method | Typical Acceptance |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric weight | ASTM D3776 | 110‑130 g/m² |
| Moisture regain | ASTM D2495 | ≤ 0.5 % |
| Tensile strength (warp) | ASTM D5035 | ≥ 30 MPa |
| Elongation at break (weft) | ASTM D5035 | ≥ 50 % |
| Pilling resistance | ASTM D4970 | ≥ 3000 cycles |
Packaging & Shipping
Finished garments are folded flat and placed in low‑density polyethylene bags with a thickness of 50 µm to protect against moisture. Cartons are corrugated double‑wall, dimensions optimized to minimize void space, and sealed with pressure‑sensitive tape. Each pallet receives corner protectors and stretch‑film wrapping to maintain stability during transit.
