Performance Piqué is a 100% polyester fabric with a diamond-like knit structure and clear definition of detail, vibrant color and strong wash durability. Comfortable and lightweight with a delicate drape, Performance Pique’s soft, stretchy composition is perfect for moisture-wicking athletic apparel such as tennis dresses, yoga tops and headbands, offering a soil-release finish for enhanced laundering. Wrinkle-resistant and easy to pack in a small bag, this is also the fabric of choice for conference presentations and scientific posters—no sewing required.
