Pico Textiles 5 Yards Bolt - Orange Polyester Dimple Mesh Jersey

In this review the Pico Textiles 5 Yards Bolt in orange is evaluated as a practical option for hobby sewists and small-team uniform makers; the single biggest reason to buy is its combination of breathability and ease of sewing that suits athletic apparel. The reviewer found the polyester dimple mesh delivers a honeycomb texture on the face with a smooth flat back, making it comfortable for players while remaining durable through repeated washes. This review focuses on real-world sewing and wearability rather than marketing claims.

Key Features

• Highly breathable: The dimpled honeycomb surface promotes airflow so garments stay cooler during intense activity.
• Made for sports apparel: Medium weight polyester is suited to soccer, basketball and gym clothes while holding shape during movement.
• Durable construction: Polyester composition resists wrinkling and maintains structural integrity over time for repeated use.
• Easy to sew and maintain: The fabric takes standard sewing techniques well and is straightforward to clean after practices and games.
• Convenient sizing: Sold in 5 yard bolts at 60' width, quantities are shipped as multiple 5 yard sections for larger projects.

Who It's For

This fabric is aimed at DIY sewists, small clubs, and uniform makers who need an affordable, athletic-grade mesh that breathes and sews predictably. It works well for makers creating soccer, basketball or football jerseys, practice warmups, and gym shorts where ventilation and durability matter.

Those who should look elsewhere include designers needing lightweight fashion knits or natural fibers, and projects that require printed patterns or highly drapey fabrics; this medium-weight polyester mesh prioritizes performance over soft drape.
