Description

Product Overview

This four-way stretch polyester softshell is a 300 gsm bonded fabric developed primarily for winter jackets, outdoor sportswear, and protective cold-weather garments. Its construction combines a 100D stretch polyester pongee face, a TPU layer, and a fleece backing.

The 90% polyester/10% spandex composition and four-way stretch are intended to give garment panels greater freedom of movement than a rigid woven shell. The bonded TPU and fleece construction adds weather protection, warmth, and a soft inner surface suitable for autumn and winter outerwear.

The current product information describes the fabric as waterproof, windproof, breathable, warm, durable, tear-resistant, shrink-resistant, flame-retardant, and anti-static. No laboratory methods, performance ratings, or certification scopes are stated for these claims. Buyers should therefore confirm the required standards and request available test documentation before approving bulk production.

Material, Construction, Appearance, and Hand Feel

The outer layer is identified as a 100D four-way stretch polyester pongee containing spandex. This layer provides the visible garment surface and allows movement across both principal fabric directions.

A TPU layer is bonded between the face fabric and fleece backing. In a softshell system, this middle layer supports the fabric’s weather-protection function, while the fleece backing supplies a softer inner surface and additional warmth. The finished three-layer structure eliminates the need to combine three separate loose materials during garment cutting, although the exact layer composition and bonding method should be confirmed if required for technical documentation.

At 300 gsm, this fabric is more substantial than an unbonded lightweight pongee. The existing page also describes it as lightweight; buyers should assess an actual sample against their target garment weight, warmth, drape, and bulk requirements.

Key Product Features

Four-way stretch: Supports mobility in fitted jackets, articulated sleeves, shoulders, elbows, and active garment panels. The exact stretch percentage and recovery performance are not currently specified.
Three-layer softshell construction: Combines a stretch pongee face, TPU layer, and fleece backing in one bonded material for weather protection, comfort, and warmth.
Waterproof and windproof positioning: Suitable for outdoor jacket development where resistance to rain and wind is required. Hydrostatic-pressure, spray-test, air-permeability, and seam-leakage results should be specified according to the buyer’s market and claim language.
Warm and breathable character: The fleece-backed construction is intended for cold-weather comfort, while the existing page describes the fabric as breathable. Confirm any required breathability or moisture-vapor test value before production.
Durability-related characteristics: Tear resistance and shrink resistance are listed among the product features. Buyers requiring a particular tear-strength, dimensional-stability, abrasion, or wash-durability grade should provide the applicable standard.
Flame-retardant and anti-static claims: Both characteristics appear in the existing specification. Because no test method, performance class, durability condition, or end-use standard is given, these properties should not be treated as PPE or regulatory approval without supporting documentation.
Custom-color development: Colors can be developed according to customer requirements, supported by lab dips and approval samples.

Detailed Applications and Use Cases

Winter Softshell Jackets and Coats

This is the product’s primary application. Four-way stretch supports movement through the shoulders, arms, and torso, while the fleece backing contributes warmth and next-to-layer comfort. The bonded construction is suitable for casual winter jackets, fitted softshell coats, travel outerwear, and cold-weather uniforms.

Buyers should evaluate the required garment silhouette, insulation level, hood design, pocket construction, seam treatment, and lining strategy during sampling. A separate lining may not be necessary for every design, but it can be added where the brand requires a cleaner interior, additional insulation, or protection over seam allowances.

Skiing and Snowboarding Apparel

The existing page recommends the fabric for skiing and snowboarding. Its stretch and three-layer construction may suit recreational snow-sport jackets and related active outerwear where mobility, warmth, and weather resistance are important.

Suitability depends on the program’s required waterproofness, breathability, seam sealing, abrasion resistance, snow-entry protection, and wash durability. Confirm these requirements before using the fabric for garments that will carry measured performance claims.

Hiking and Camping Outerwear

For hiking jackets, camping garments, and general outdoor clothing, the four-way stretch can support climbing, reaching, bending, and layered movement. The fleece backing is appropriate for cool-weather use, while the windproof and waterproof descriptions support outer-layer development.

Garment weight and ventilation should be evaluated carefully for high-exertion use. At 300 gsm, this construction is better suited to cool or cold conditions than to lightweight summer shells.

Outdoor Sportswear and Everyday Cold-Weather Garments

The fabric can be considered for stretch outdoor trousers, warm-up garments, sports jackets, commuter outerwear, and casual cold-weather apparel where a softshell appearance is preferred. Designers should confirm stretch recovery, knee and elbow bagging, colorfastness, and resistance to repeated laundering through garment trials.

Industrial and Workwear Programs

Industrial wear appears among the product’s existing tags, and the page lists anti-static and flame-retardant characteristics. These applications require particular caution: buyers must specify the intended workplace hazard, garment category, test method, performance level, wash durability, and destination-market standard.

The listing alone does not establish suitability for personal protective equipment. Obtain applicable test reports and conduct finished-garment verification before making protective-performance claims.

Conditional Non-Apparel Applications

The legacy product content also names bags, luggage, bedding, linings, home textiles, and sofas. These uses should be treated as conditional rather than primary applications because a 300 gsm fleece-backed, four-way stretch laminate may behave differently from conventional luggage, lining, bedding, or upholstery fabrics.

For any of these programs, evaluate surface abrasion, dimensional stability, stretch control, cleanability, bonding durability, flame requirements, seam strength, and finished-product structure through sampling before bulk ordering.

Design and Manufacturing Considerations

Confirm which side will be used as the garment face and whether the fleece backing will remain exposed or receive a separate lining.
Request the required waterproof, breathability, wind-resistance, tear-strength, shrinkage, anti-static, and flame-performance standards before quotation.
Waterproof fabric alone does not make a completely waterproof garment. Seam design, stitching holes, zippers, pocket openings, and seam-sealing methods can affect finished-garment performance.
Test needle type, needle size, thread, stitch length, and presser-foot pressure on the approved bulk-quality sample. Bonded stretch fabrics can respond differently from unlaminated woven fabrics.
Align stretch direction consistently across garment panels and verify recovery before grading fitted or articulated styles.
Conduct cutting and bonding trials before adding seam tape, heat-transfer graphics, embroidery, printing, or other processes involving heat or pressure.
Confirm shrinkage and dimensional stability for all layers, especially when the fabric will be washed or tumble dried.
Approve color under the buyer’s required light source and evaluate shade continuity between lab dip, sample, and bulk production.
For cold-weather garments, test the complete garment system rather than judging warmth or breathability from the fabric alone.
The legacy description calls the fabric lightweight while listing a weight of 300 gsm. Use a physical sample to confirm whether its weight and bulk suit the intended product.

Customization, Sampling, and Bulk Ordering

Custom colors are available according to buyer requirements. Plain-color lab dips normally take 3–5 days, and approval samples normally take 7–10 days. OEM service is available subject to project requirements, and logo customization can be discussed.

The stated MOQ is 2,000 meters per color. Bulk production is listed at 3–20 days, but the actual schedule will depend on color approval, finish, bonding requirements, order quantity, raw-material availability, testing, and inspection arrangements.

Standard packing options are 50, 100, or 200 meters per roll. Packing details can also be customized. The page lists usual container quantities of approximately 40,000 meters for a 20GP and 60,000 meters for a 40GP; final loading quantities depend on roll length, fabric width, packing dimensions, and shipment configuration.

For first-time customers, the page states a 30% T/T deposit and 70% balance. One section states that the balance is payable before shipping, while another states that it is payable upon receipt of the copy of the bill of lading. Confirm the agreed payment milestone in the quotation or pro forma invoice. L/C may be considered for repeat customers, and other terms may be negotiable.

2024–2026 Fabric Regulations & Compliance Update

Waterproof and laminated apparel requires careful chemical and material review because regulatory obligations may apply to water-repellent finishes, membranes, coatings, and other individual layers.

European Union: Buyers placing general-public apparel on the EU market should review the EU REACH PFHxA Restriction. Its consumer-clothing application date is 10 October 2026. Requirements and exemptions depend on the product category and material.
California: Most new textile articles sold in California have been subject to the state’s PFAS requirements since 1 January 2025. Severe-wet-condition outdoor apparel has a narrower transition arrangement. Review the California AB 1817 PFAS Textile Ban when sourcing California-bound jackets or related textile products.

These resources provide sourcing context and do not establish that this fabric is certified, PFAS-free, or compliant with a particular market requirement. Buyers should communicate the destination market and restricted-substance requirements before sampling. Available declarations, finish and membrane information, technical data, certificates, lot-specific reports, or third-party testing support should be requested for the final specification and production batch.
