SP-XP16 MAXDRI Moisture Management Spandex is a super-soft, double-sanded poly-spandex performance fabric built for lightweight activewear and custom prints. Made from 95% polyester and 5% spandex at 180 GSM and 59–60" wide, this Sportek fabric pairs MAXDRI moisture management with UV50+ sun protection and a brushed, luxuriously soft hand. It also ships PFP (prepared for print), ready to take vibrant, wash-durable sublimation designs. Explore it within our MAXDRI Performance Fabric Collection. Key Features of SP-XP16 MAXDRI Spandex 95% polyester, 5% spandex: a durable performance blend with comfortable mechanical stretch and easy freedom of movement. 180 GSM weight: lightweight yet strong, balancing durability with breathability. 59–60 inch width: ample fabric for large designs or efficient bulk production. MAXDRI moisture management: wicks sweat away from the skin to keep wearers dry during high-intensity activity. UV50+ sun protection: shields against harmful UV rays for outdoor sport. Super-soft double-sanded finish: a brushed, luxurious feel against the skin. PFP, sublimation-ready: a print-prepared base for sharp, long-lasting custom graphics. Lightweight Performance, All-Day Comfort SP-XP16 is engineered for performance wear that needs to breathe and feel good against the skin. The MAXDRI finish actively wicks moisture and dries quickly, keeping athletes cool and dry through training, while the UV50+ rating adds genuine sun protection for outdoor pursuits like hiking, cycling, golf, and skiing. At 180 GSM with a double-sanded surface, it's light, breathable, and exceptionally soft — and the 5% spandex provides the comfortable give and recovery that keep performance tops and layers moving with the body rather than restricting it. PFP Ready for Sublimation Because SP-XP16 ships prepared for print, it's an excellent canvas for custom sublimation. Polyester is the ideal sublimation base: the dye bonds directly into the fiber, so logos, artwork, and all-over designs stay sharp and vivid wash after wash, without cracking or peeling. That makes it a dependable choice for personalized sportswear tops, team apparel, and branded performance gear. See our Sublimation Printing Guide for how to get the best results. Ideal Applications With its lightweight feel, moisture management, and soft finish, SP-XP16 is best suited to performance tops and layering pieces — a natural fit alongside our functional t-shirt fabrics and broader activewear collection: Functional and performance T-shirts Performance second layers and base layers Arm sleeves and lightweight outerwear Yoga wear and relaxed sportswear tops For body-skimming, supportive pieces like leggings and yoga wear, pair it with a higher-spandex bottom-weight fabric, since a 95/5 knit is built for soft, breathable comfort rather than firm compression. Why Choose SP-XP16 MAXDRI Spandex? MAXDRI moisture-wicking performance that keeps wearers dry and comfortable. UV50+ protection for outdoor sport and sun exposure. PFP sublimation-ready for vibrant, long-lasting custom designs. Super-soft double-sanded finish that's a pleasure to wear. Durable, lightweight 95/5 poly-spandex with comfortable stretch. Final Thoughts SP-XP16 MAXDRI Moisture Management Spandex brings together moisture-wicking performance, sun protection, and a brushed soft hand in a lightweight, print-ready fabric — an ideal base for performance tops, layers, and custom sportswear.
