Lightweight Nylon Stretch Fabric for Activewear – CC-2829

Lightweight Nylon Stretch Fabric for Activewear – CC-2829

Lightweight nylon stretch fabric CC-2829 is created for garments that need to move easily without looking or feeling like heavy performance wear. At only 80 GSM, it offers four-way stretch in a fine woven construction, making it suitable for running shorts, lightweight trail apparel and packable active layers.

The fabric combines 84% nylon with 16% spandex (elastane). Its 30D × 20D yarn specification creates a light, flexible surface, while the plain weave keeps the appearance clean and versatile. A water-repellent finish adds practical protection against brief drizzle and surface splashes.

Designed Around Freedom of Movement

The high elastane content allows the material to stretch in both warp and weft directions. This is useful in garments worn during running, climbing, bending or extended travel, where a rigid woven fabric may restrict movement.

For buyers sourcing an 80 GSM nylon four-way stretch fabric for running shorts, CC-2829 offers mobility without unnecessary bulk. It may be evaluated for:

• Running and training shorts
• Lightweight hiking trousers
• Stretch windbreakers
• Packable active jackets
• Cycling and travel garments
• Flexible garment panels

Actual stretch percentage and recovery should be tested against the required garment pattern. Fibre content alone does not confirm how the finished fabric will perform after repeated wear or washing.

Light Protection for Active Conditions

The W/R finish helps light moisture bead on the surface. This positions CC-2829 as a water-repellent nylon elastane woven fabric for trail apparel used in changing outdoor conditions.

The treatment is not waterproof. Products requiring prolonged rain protection need an appropriate coating or membrane, followed by fabric and garment testing.

Because this lightweight nylon stretch fabric uses fine yarns, pale colours should be checked for opacity. Needle selection and sewing tension should also be tested to prevent puckering or damage during garment construction.

Sampling Recommendations

Before approving CC-2829, buyers should evaluate stretch, recovery, opacity, seam strength, dimensional stability and water repellency on a prototype garment. Movement tests are especially useful for shorts and fitted outdoor clothing.
