NEW FABRIC SYSTEMS
Partnering with the most innovative fabric developers in the world to engineer products that thrive for the training run, the race day, and everything in between. Meet the three new fabric systems for Spring 2025.
Striped Cadence™
Our new Striped Cadence™ fabric. This compression fabric offers a similar textural ribbed, matte look as our classic Cadence fabric, but with slightly higher rib construction, offering more breathability with improved air circulation to aid moisture evaporation. This knit structure is also optimized to wick moisture away from the skin where a specialized finishing treatment enhances it's quick-drying capability. Additionally the yarns used make for a highly durable material, resistant material, ideal for rigorous use, while the high spandex content offers excellent stretch and recovery, maintaining its shape and performance characteristics over time. Additionally, this unique Ottoman knit structure features a distinct bi-color ribbed texture which seemingly morphs and shifts color as the fabric moves with you.
Reflecto™
This ultra-reflective fabric is a first for Bandit, combining synthetic performance fibers with ripstop construction for exceptional durability and tear resistance. The grid-like ripstop pattern provides a structured foundation, while a specialized wrinkle finish adds organic texture, creating a dynamic contrast between geometric precision and textural irregularity. A water-repellent finish further enhances performance, causing water to bead and roll off, keeping the fabric dry and resilient.
Nanomesh™
Our best selling long sleeve silhouette, now in our Macromesh™ Performance knit. This pin mesh is silky and smooth with just the right amount of drape and is cool to the touch. The fabric is slightly more compact than our best selling Micromesh™ but provides the same amount of breathabiiltiy and sweat wicking qualities. The contrast yarn woven through the fabric hihglights the pin mesh holes and provides a subtle visual contrast/interest. The mechanical stretch and minimal spandex helps reduce the fabric from dragging down and stitcking when wet, making it a great seasonal transitional fabric.
