This Outdoor UV-Resistant Scuba Knit Fabric is engineered for professional outdoor use, featuring a high-density polyester knit base with a 95% polyester and 5% spandex blend, designed to deliver both durability and comfort. The fabric incorporates a unique air-layer structure, combining 40S pure polyester yarns with 75D DTY + 50D DTY + 20D spandex yarns to create a lightweight yet robust textile that balances sun protection, breathability, and stretch.
With a fabric weight of 310–320GSM and a width of 160cm, this material offers a substantial thickness—ideal for outdoor apparel that requires both protection and performance. The generous width allows for efficient cutting and reduced waste during production.
The air-layer construction creates a microporous structure that enhances breathability and moisture-wicking properties, allowing sweat to quickly evaporate from the skin’s surface while minimizing heat buildup during physical activity. This ensures a cool, dry feel even in hot or humid conditions.
The 5% spandex delivers strong two-way stretch and over 90% shape recovery, enabling full freedom of movement without compromising fit or comfort. It also contributes to excellent dimensional stability—shrinkage controlled within 3% after washing—ensuring the garment retains its original shape over time.
The fabric features a special UV-resistant treatment, providing UPF 50+ protection that blocks over 98% of UVA and UVB rays, making it ideal for extended outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and sun exposure. It also includes an anti-fouling coating that resists water and oil stains, enhancing ease of care and long-term durability.
Its tear resistance is 25% higher than standard outdoor fabrics, making it highly durable under demanding conditions. The UV-resistant dyeing process ensures colors remain vibrant and fade-resistant, even after repeated washing and prolonged sun exposure.
Ideal for outdoor jackets, sun protection clothing, hiking pants, sportswear, and active wear, this scuba knit fabric combines professional-grade sun protection, breathability, and comfort—making it suitable for everything from city commuting to mountain adventures.
Whether used in functional outerwear or performance activewear, this fabric delivers reliable protection and aesthetic integrity across diverse outdoor environments.
