LYCRA^® XTRA LIFE^™ fiber (also known as LYCRA^® lastingFIT technology) is chlorine resistant, durable, and it resists damage from the sun and body lotions. This fiber is used for creating comfortable, long-lasting swimwear.

LYCRA^® ADAPTIV fiber is ideal for diverse body shapes, especially in low-rise styles, where its "easy stretch" attribute ensures maximum comfort. Featuring exceptional soft stretch characteristics, it supports size inclusivity with "one-size-fits-more" apparel.

COOLMAX^® EcoMade fiber provides the same reliable cooling performance you expect from the COOLMAX^® brand, but it’s made with 100% recycled resources to help the environment. Eco-conscious consumers will also appreciate that this polyester fiber can be made with either 100% textile waste or recycled PET bottles.  

LYCRA^® FiT400^™ fiber is a bicomponent stretch fiber designed to enhance the performance and comfort of knits. Made with 60% recycled PET and 14.4% bio-derived resources, it offers a soft hand, low shrinkage, and high uniformity.

LYCRA^® dualFX^® technology combines LYCRA^® fiber for stretch and LYCRA^® T400^® fiber for shape retention, creating denim with unmatched comfort and performance. Covered with cotton, it delivers an authentic denim look with all-day flexibility and lasting fit.
