Looking closely at the fabric, each weave is a grid of woven patterns. If the center of each pattern is circular/tear-drop shaped with multiple stitches, that is a teardrop mesh. If the center is simply a "pin hole" (my description), a much tighter pattern than the teardrop, it is dri-mesh. Again, this is just my understanding; not on the business, just an end-user like you.
Is there anything for which you don't have a detailed explanation?
