SP-NP90004 Soft as Silk Printed Spandex lives up to its name with a luxuriously smooth, silky hand on a high-performance nylon-spandex base, made for swimwear, activewear, sportswear, and cycling wear. Built from 80% nylon and 20% spandex in a matte-finish tricot, it pairs that soft feel with four-way stretch and the strong recovery nylon is known for. At 200 GSM and 58–60" wide, it's flexible enough for fitted garments yet durable enough for daily, active wear. Browse more printed styles in our patterned spandex collection.

Key Features of SP-NP90004

• Composition: 80% nylon, 20% spandex for maximum stretch, recovery, and durability.
• Weight: 200 GSM, balancing supple flexibility with sturdy, shape-holding strength.
• Width: 58–60 inches, versatile across activewear and swimwear designs.

A Luxuriously Soft Hand

What sets SP-NP90004 apart is how it feels. The silky-smooth surface gives finished garments a premium, next-to-skin comfort that elevates everyday activewear and swimwear alike, while the matte finish keeps the look understated and sophisticated rather than glossy. It's an ideal choice for pieces where comfort against the skin matters as much as performance — second-skin leggings, soft-cup sports bras, and luxe swimwear.

Why Nylon Spandex Performs

Nylon-spandex is the blend designers turn to when softness and resilience both matter. Nylon delivers that smooth, comfortable feel along with excellent elastic recovery, so leggings, sports bras, and swimsuits hold their shape through repeated wear, while the spandex keeps everything moving freely with the body. As a nylon wet print with high color fastness, the printed color stays rich and resists dulling through stretching and washing.

From swimwear to activewear and leggings and yoga wear, Soft as Silk suits a wide range of comfort-focused, fitted designs:
