Microcool Fabric in Tagum City
Microcool is a lightweight polyester mesh built on a needle hole knit that moves air and pulls sweat off the skin. It is the workhorse cloth behind basketball jerseys, sports sleeves, athletic shorts, and team uniforms, and it takes both sublimation and silkscreen printing. This guide covers the real specs we cut by, the two weights we stock, colorways, uses, print compatibility, and how to order for pickup in Tagum City.
Microcool Fabric Specs
The numbers we quote, so you can plan panels, weight, and print before you order.
| Property | Detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Fiber | 100 percent polyester, or a polyester spandex blend | Polyester takes sublimation dye best, the blend adds stretch |
| Construction | Needle hole micro mesh knit | The tiny openings are what move air and lighten the cloth |
| Weight | 140 GSM standard, 150 to 180 GSM for the stretch blend | Lighter mesh drapes and breathes, heavier feels more substantial |
| Roll width | 60 inch, about 150 cm | Wider rolls waste less cloth on large jersey panels |
| Yield | About 5.1 yards per kilo at 140 GSM | Lets you estimate cloth weight and freight per order |
| Stretch | Low on pure polyester, multidirectional on the spandex blend | Pick the blend for fitted sleeves and compression style panels |
| Finish | Soft, matte, smooth against the skin | Reduces chafing during long games and training |
| Care | Machine washable, quick dry, holds shape | Survives repeated team washes without sagging |
Why the Needle Hole Mesh Works
The holes are the whole point. They turn a simple polyester knit into a fabric that performs on court and in tropical heat.
Targeted Airflow
The needle hole structure lets air pass straight through the cloth, so heat escapes instead of building up under the jersey.
Moisture Wicking
Sweat is drawn from the skin to the surface of the mesh, where it spreads out and evaporates instead of soaking the garment.
Quick Dry
Open knit and thin fibers dry fast after washing and after a hard game, so a kit is ready again in hours, not a day.
Light and Flexible
The low weight gives a full range of motion with no stiffness, which matters most for shooting, sprinting, and quick cuts.
Holds Its Shape
The knit resists pilling and deformation, keeping print sharp and silhouettes crisp through a full season of washing.
Abrasion Resistant
Polyester fibers take contact with the court, benches, and bags without wearing thin where it counts.
Two Weights, Two Jobs
Microcool comes in a crisp standard mesh and a stretch blend. Match the weight to the garment.
140 GSM Needle Hole Mesh
The classic Microcool. A 100 percent polyester knit with a crisp hand, a dry matte face, and the strongest print definition. It holds structure well, so it suits basketball jerseys, shorts, and sports sleeves where you want the garment to keep its shape and show a bold, clean print.
150 to 180 GSM Spandex Blend
A stretch version made with polyester spandex. It adds recovery and a second skin feel, so it suits fitted athletic wear, compression style panels, and sleeves that need to move and bounce back. Slightly heavier, softer drape, more give.

What Microcool Fabric Is Used For
Court, gym, and beyond. The same breathable mesh does the heavy lifting across these builds.
Basketball Jerseys
Light, breathable, and sublimation ready. The mesh keeps players cool and takes full color team graphics without smothering the holes. See our custom basketball jerseys.
Sports Sleeves
Arm sleeves, shooting sleeves, and warmers use the stretch blend for a snug fit that moves with the arm and wicks as the game runs.
Athletic Shorts
The 140 GSM mesh gives shorts a crisp drape and strong color, with the airflow that keeps legs cool on court and on the field.
Team Uniforms
Full kits in matching dye lots, from jerseys and shorts to warmup tops, printed edge to edge and built to survive a season of washes.
Activewear and Gym Wear
Training tops, tanks, and gym pieces that need to breathe hard during high intensity sessions and dry fast between them.
Casual Wear
Everyday athletic tops and light jerseys where a smooth matte face and cooling airflow are more comfort than competition.
Bag, Hat, and Jacket Lining
The mesh is light enough to line bags, caps, and jackets, adding structure and breathability without bulk.
Events and Promo Tops
Fun runs, school sports fests, and corporate play days use Microcool for bright, cheap to print tops that stay fresh all day.
Print Compatibility
Microcool takes the two methods most teams ask for, and both keep the needle hole texture open.
Sublimation
Heat turns the ink to gas and drives it into the polyester fibers, so the color lives inside the cloth rather than sitting on top. That means full color, photo detail, gradients, and edge to edge designs with no heavy feel and no cracking. It is the go to method for jerseys and sports kits. Read our sublimation t shirt guide.
Silkscreen
Ink is pushed through a screen for bold flat color, solid shapes, and crisp logos. It suits one or two color marks, sponsor logos, and large team runs where a strong block of color is the goal.
How to Buy Microcool Fabric
A few habits keep a fabric order clean, from the sample to the last cut.
| Point | What to do | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Unit | Order by the yard for samples, by the roll for production | Lets you test shade and feel before a big cut |
| Cut | Ask for one continuous piece on multi yard orders | Keeps large panels free of mid seams |
| Width | Confirm 60 inch usable width | Narrow bolts need more yards for the same panel |
| Weight | Pick 140 GSM for structure, 150 to 180 GSM for stretch | Weight decides drape, recovery, and how the print reads |
| Dye lot | Reserve one lot for the whole project | Separate orders can drift a shade apart |
| Sample | Request a swatch when the shade is exact | Monitor color is not fabric color |

Care and Washing
Microcool is low maintenance. A little care keeps the print bright and the mesh open.
Wash
Machine wash cold or warm on a gentle cycle with like colors. Turn sublimated pieces inside out to protect the print, and skip fabric softener, which can clog the mesh.
Dry
Tumble dry low or hang to drip dry. The mesh dries fast on its own. Do not iron the print face directly, and avoid high heat that can dull the colors.
Store
Fold clean and dry, away from direct sun for long periods. Bleach and harsh solvents shorten the life of both the fibers and the print.
