Knit gripper elastic combines the characteristics of traditional knit gripper elastic with a textured surface that provides enhanced grip. This makes it especially useful in applications where stability and a secure fit are essential. The gripper aspect often incorporates small rubber or silicone dots or ridges on one side. This texture enhances friction against fabric, skin, or other surfaces, preventing slippage. Common applications: used in the waistbands, leggings, shorts, and athletic tops, ensuring a secure fit during workouts.
