Selecting activewear fabric 200 to 280 gsm
200 to 280 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
Mid-weight territory for trousers, denser shirtings and some light jackets.
For activewear, the brief needs abrasion tolerance for the sport. 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.
