Mesh is a knitted fabric with a pattern of open holes. Air passes straight through, which makes mesh one of the coolest fabrics for hot climates and intense sport.
We use mesh as the main body fabric for jerseys and as a functional panel or lining in other garments.
How mesh is used
- Basketball and football jerseys
- Ventilation panels under the arms and on the back
- Inner linings for shorts and jackets
- Training bibs and reversible pinnies
Hole sizes
Mesh is available with small, medium or larger openings. Fine mesh looks cleaner and suits printed jerseys, while larger holes give more airflow for linings and practice gear.

Common questions
Can mesh be sublimated?
Yes. Polyester mesh takes sublimation printing, so full-colour team designs are possible.
Is mesh see-through?
Open meshes can be slightly sheer. Finer mesh or a double layer is used where more coverage is needed.
