FAQ
Common questions about single jersey (lightweight).
Is lightweight jersey see-through?
At 120 gsm, yes — there may be some sheerness, especially in lighter colors. For full opacity, choose 140-160 gsm or layer underneath. For linings and base layers where sheerness is acceptable, 120 gsm is fine.
