About Sportswear Fabrics - Mesh Fabric
Mesh fabric for garment is a fabric that contains a certain amount of open space; a typical mesh is about 85% material and 15% holes, although weight and hole size will vary between different mesh fabrics.
Mesh is useful in sportswear because it provides good comfort and elasticity, and allows air to circulate and reach the skin, which means it is ideal for ventilated areas of clothing, especially where heat builds up quickly, such as back.
Neoprene is a synthetic rubber-like foam made from the chemical polychloroprene. It won't wear out, is a good insulator, and is waterproof. There are two types of neoprene: open cell and closed cell. Closed-cell neoprene is cheaper and is the most common type; it consists of separate air bubbles filled with nitrogen and allows a small amount of water to pass through, which is heated by the body. This type of neoprene is lined for those who are continuously active in the water so that body heat continues to hold the water layer inside the suit. For very cold conditions and activities that require waiting, open cell neoprene is the right choice. Open cell neoprene is raw (unlined), softer, and more flexible than rigid and firm closed cell neoprene. Open cells consist of interconnected air spaces and function by clinging to the body. It can contain up to 98% still air inside, providing good insulation for weight properties. Open cells are more insulating and, depending on thickness and type, can be used for deep-sea diving and staying in the water all day.
