Selecting activewear fabric 100 to 150 gsm
100 to 150 GSM is a planning band for activewear. It is not a score, and it is not evidence that a FabStitch fabric publishes that exact number.
How to use the band
A light apparel band. A poplin and a jersey can share it and still be different cloths.
For activewear, the brief needs stretch and recovery. A useful hand note is stable stretch.
What still matters more
Compare GSM only inside one construction. Stretch knits, stretch wovens and performance constructions lead.
If the fabric page omits weight, leave the cell blank and ask in the inquiry.
