Performance Interlock — 140 GSM

Performance interlock is the fabric most football, futsal and volleyball kits are made from. An interlock knit is two layers of knitting locked together, which gives a smooth face on both sides. That smooth face is why sublimated colours come out sharp — there is no texture breaking up fine lines or small sponsor text.

At 140 GSM it sits in the middle of the jersey range: substantial enough not to look see-through in white, light enough for summer leagues. For hot climates we can go down to 120 GSM; for winter kits or a more premium handle, up to 160 GSM.

The fabric comes in white or a light base because sublimation dyes the fibre rather than covering it. That means any design colour is possible, but it also means dark solid colours are printed, not dyed.

• Wash at 30°C inside out with similar colours
• Do not bleach or use fabric softener — it blocks moisture wicking
• Do not tumble dry on high heat; line dry
• Do not iron over prints or transfers
