Understanding GSM (Grams per Square Meter) is the secret to choosing the right gear for the climate and the sport. Light doesn't always mean better; heavy doesn't always mean hot.
In the sportswear industry, fabric weight is measured in GSM. It dictates how the fabric feels, how it moves, and what it can withstand.
Designed for maximum breathability and speed. Ideal for high-intensity cardio and hot climates.
Designed for structure, durability, and coverage. Ideal for contact sports and cold weather.
At Dhalay International, we tailor the GSM to the specific demands of your game.
Requires maximum airflow. Players run up to 10km per game. Heavy fabric causes overheating.
The perfect balance. Durable enough for weights but breathable enough for cardio.
Contact sports require heavy fabric that won't rip during tackles and hides skin underneath.
When you hold a lightweight jersey (140 GSM) up to the light, you can see through it slightly. The weave is loose to allow air passage.
A heavyweight jersey (280 GSM) feels like a quality dress shirt. The weave is tight, the fabric is substantial, and it blocks light entirely.
