4 Way Stretch Waterproof Fabric: Unleashing Extreme Mobility and Protection

A Solution to a Costly Problem

A German skiwear startup learned this the hard way when they had to scrap 15,000 jackets last season due to fabric stretch issues. The two-way stretch fabric they were using couldn't withstand the multi-directional pressure generated by athletes twisting their bodies during jumps, causing seams to crack. Our solution was to rebuild their entire outerwear line using our four-way stretch waterproof fabric. Made from a 78/22 polyester-spandex interwoven fabric coated with a 150°C-cured TPU film, it achieved zero seam failures during the Red Bull Alpine Challenge.

Technical Superiority

Exceptional Stretch and Waterproofing

Our 4 - way mechanical stretch allows for 30%+ elongation in both the warp and weft directions. This remarkable stretchability doesn't come at the expense of waterproofing. The fabric maintains a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000mm, ensuring reliable protection against the elements.

Advanced Construction and Breathability

We use double-needle sewing technology on Japanese Tsudakoma looms and apply a microporous PU coating to the fabric. This coating not only repels rain but also allows the fabric to achieve a breathability of 5,000 g/m²/24h and a RET value of less than 6. Waterproof and breathable properties are essential for staying comfortable during intense physical activity.

Abrasion Resistance and Durability

To ensure long - lasting performance, we triple - test the fabric to 25,000 Martindale cycles. It's guaranteed to withstand 60+ industrial laundries, making it suitable for repeated use in harsh environments.

Color Consistency

We understand the importance of color consistency across batches. Our Oeko - Tex certified dyeing partner uses spectrophotometers to limit Delta - E shifts below 0.8 under D65 lighting, ensuring that your products look consistent from start to finish.

Production Efficiency

Low MOQs and Fast Shipping

With 600 air - jet looms, including 200 Rieter units, in our Hangzhou mill, we can handle orders of any size. We offer a minimum order quantity that won't give you MOQ headaches and can ship a 40 - container order within 55 days. Zara's experience with a 500,000m order for cycling gear is a testament to our efficiency, with their QC team logging just 0.3% defect rates.

Cost - Benefit Analysis

A Worthwhile Investment

While our fabric may cost 8% more than Vietnamese imports, the long - term savings are significant. When Nike switched to our fabric for their Athlete series, they saved $278k annually in reduced returns from seam leaks. By investing in our 4 way stretch waterproof fabric, you can create garments that not only survive mud runs and monsoons but also move like a second skin.

Take the Next Step

If you have a tech pack that requires armor - grade flexibility, send us your specs. We'll dispatch lab dips within 72 hours, allowing you to evaluate the fabric's quality and performance for your specific needs.

In conclusion, our 4 way stretch waterproof fabric is a game - changer in the world of high - performance textiles. With its exceptional stretch, waterproofing, durability, and production efficiency, it's the ideal choice for a wide range of applications, from sports apparel to outdoor gear.
