LE MERITE
Performance knit fabric detail

02 — Athleisure / Performance

Performance textiles that move with the body

Stretch and recovery, moisture management and refined hand-feel — engineered for apparel that has to perform in training and read well in daily wear.

The brief

Comfort is an engineering outcome

Stretch percentage, recovery, breathability and surface finish are specified together, then validated in the lab. The result is apparel fabric that keeps its shape, moves moisture and holds its colour through repeated wear and wash cycles.
