LYCRA® SOFT COMFORT FIBER

WHY CHOOSE GARMENTS CERTIFIED LYCRA® SOFT COMFORT?

The challenge:    

Consumers rank comfort as a top priority in apparel, but their needs still aren’t being met in several key areas: garments don’t stretch to accommodate different body shapes within a size, sock tops and waistbands can dig into the skin and leave red marks, and it can be difficult to put on and take off stretch garments.

The solution:                       

LYCRA® SOFT COMFORT fiber is the perfect choice for the consumer who cares about comfort. This spandex (elastane) fiber provides soft stretch and increased flexibility that is ideal for fitting in-between sizes and increasing freedom of movement for all. This is the preferred fiber for soft hosiery top bands, waistbands, sock tops and bands that leave virtually no marks or cause wearer discomfort.
