Knit Sports T-Shirts & Performance Polos

Knit fabrics, particularly those used in a performance t-shirt, offer exceptional benefits for high-intensity training due to their structural flexibility and breathability. Techniques like pique or eye bird mesh create a textured surface that allows for better airflow compared to standard weaves. This construction helps in rapid moisture evaporation, keeping the wearer cool and dry during strenuous activities. Furthermore, the inherent stretch of knit fabrics ensures that an athletic t-shirt moves with the body, providing the necessary range of motion for various exercises without losing shape over time.

Yes, our knit collection is specifically selected for its suitability for various customisation methods. Whether you are looking for a custom sports t-shirt for a marathon or a custom gym t-shirt for staff, the fine knit gauge of these garments provides a smooth and stable surface. This is ideal for high-quality screen printing, heat transfers, and embroidery. Many of our products, such as those from Finden & Hales, are designed with access points to make the embroidery process more efficient, ensuring a professional finish for your team or brand.

Choosing the right fabric depends on your specific needs for the activewear t-shirt. Pique knit is often heavier and more durable, featuring a distinct waffle-like texture that is common in performance polos. It is excellent for maintaining a professional appearance while offering breathability. On the other hand, single jersey knit is typically smoother and lighter, making it a popular choice for a plain gym t-shirt or everyday sports wear. If your priority is maximum moisture-wicking in extreme heat, look for eye bird mesh or "Cool Plus" polyester knits which are engineered for peak performance.
