Mesh vs NOM Windcheater Tracksuits: What's the Difference?

If you are a sports retailer, gym, academy, club, institution or bulk buyer, you may come across two similar-looking windcheater tracksuits: Mesh Windcheater and NOM Windcheater.

So what is the actual difference?

The biggest difference is simple:

Mesh Windcheater is a dual-layer tracksuit, while NOM Windcheater is a single-layer tracksuit.

This difference affects the weight, warmth, seasonal usage and overall feel of the tracksuit.

At DRIBBLE Sports, we have been manufacturing jackets and tracksuits for more than 10 years. During this time, customers have repeatedly asked us questions such as whether a tracksuit will keep them warm, whether it can be worn throughout the year, how heavy it will be and whether it can be customized with logos and branding.

A Mesh Windcheater tracksuit is a dual-layer tracksuit.

The inner layer is cotton mesh, while the outer layer is nylon-spandex fabric.

Because of the two-layer construction, an M-size Mesh Windcheater tracksuit weighs approximately 800 grams as a complete set.

It is generally preferred for medium to heavy winters and is particularly suitable for outdoor activities.

Although some customers use it throughout the year, DRIBBLE observes that usage is generally concentrated between August and March, with summer use often avoided.

Best suited for: colder weather, outdoor activities, sports clubs and buyers looking for a heavier, dual-layer tracksuit.

NOM means No Mesh.

Unlike the Mesh Windcheater, it is a single-layer nylon-spandex tracksuit.

The complete M-size tracksuit weighs approximately 500 grams, making it significantly lighter than the Mesh version.

Its lightweight construction also makes it easier to maintain, and it can be worn throughout the year.

NOM Windcheater tracksuits are more suitable for light to mild winters, particularly where the product will be used mostly indoors with some outdoor activity.

Best suited for: mild climates, indoor activities, travel, lightweight sportswear and year-round use.

The important point for a bulk buyer is that neither is universally “better.” The right option depends on your climate, customer expectations and intended use.

For light to mild winters, particularly where indoor use is more common, NOM Windcheater provides a lighter alternative.
