Thermal Waffle Hoodie Spec
The Thermal Waffle Knit Hoodie (Midweight) is engineered for environments requiring balanced insulation and enhanced breathability. Unlike lightweight waffle fabrics, the midweight structure uses deeper waffle cells that trap heat efficiently while still allowing air exchange between layers. This thermal waffle configuration ensures comfort during variable temperatures, making it ideal for transitional seasons and active daily wear.
During production, waffle cell depth, tension, and repeat accuracy are calibrated to prevent collapse or uneven texture across body panels. The thermal waffle knit benefits from firmer yarn counts, improving stability and minimizing distortion after repeated washing. Yarn choices include long-staple cotton, cotton-poly blends, modal-cotton composites, and recycled fiber programs, enabling brands to achieve different hand feels and sustainability goals. Each yarn is tested for thermal retention, moisture release rate, and shrinkage control to ensure fabric performance over long-term use.
As an OEM knitwear supplier, we refine every step from waffle grid formation to finishing treatments, maintaining GSM consistency and dimensional stability. The hoodie can be customized with upgraded trims, reinforced zipper structures, or drawcord variations. With multi-stage inspection and controlled heat-setting, this thermal waffle knit hoodie is built for brands seeking reliable midweight layering pieces with breathable warmth and durable structure.
