GSM (grams per square metre) measures fabric weight. For cricket jerseys in India, 130-160 GSM is the sweet spot: light enough to breathe, sturdy enough to last.
You will often see jerseys described by GSM. It simply tells you how dense the fabric is — and that affects comfort, durability and price.
Here is how to read GSM for cricket kits.
What the numbers mean
- Below 130 GSM: very light, can feel thin
- 130-150 GSM: ideal everyday cricket weight
- 150-170 GSM: premium, structured match feel
- Above 170 GSM: heavy, warmer to wear
The right GSM for Indian heat
In Tamil Nadu’s climate, a mid-range GSM keeps players cool without the fabric feeling flimsy. Most of our cricket jerseys land in the 130-160 range.
Balancing weight and cost
Heavier fabric costs more per piece. The mid-range gives the best balance of feel, longevity and value for league and club teams.
