LYCRA® SPORT TECHNOLOGY

Because comfort and performance matter™

Why choose LYCRA® SPORT technology?

The challenge: Consumers are increasingly demanding activewear that optimizes performance, but comfort is often neglected. It’s also difficult for brands and retailers to know how spandex (elastane) fabrics will perform after design and cutting. Without in-house fabric scientists who can test fabric performance, they often pick a fabric based on cost or pattern. This can lead to underperforming fabrics or fabrics that fail to meet consumer expectations, which often results in complaints, product returns and dissatisfied customers. How can you increase consumer satisfaction and brand loyalty?

The solution: Choose LYCRA® SPORT technology to create collections that deliver the comfort and performance consumers demand today. This platform combines the proven technology of LYCRA® fiber with the demanding testing standards of the PCE™ Index to measure fabric performance. Each PCE™ certified fabric comes with a performance report that takes the guesswork out of fabric selection.

Athletic fabrics require unique properties to ensure optimal stretch, performance, and comfort. That's where LYCRA® SPORT technology delivers moisture-wicking fabric for sports clothes.

Consumer benefits

  • Delivers lasting comfort, fit, shape and performance to garments

  • Optimized fabric performance levels suit specific sports

  • Provides the right level of performance with unmatched comfort, to enhance wearer experience

  • Enjoy permanent performance benefits that don’t wash out

Benefits for brands & retailers

‎Brands and retailers can benefit from a world of advantages by offering athletic fabrics made with LYCRA® fibers.

Increase speed-to-market and reduce risk

LYCRA® SPORT technology’s PCE™ index provides brands and retailers with a quick and reliable way to tell how the fabric performs so you can simplify selection and prototyping for high-quality athletic and swimwear fabrics saving time and money.

Add value and differentiate your collections

The LYCRA® brand logo is viewed as a symbol of quality assurance by consumers, indicating a higher quality garment that’s worth paying extra for. By incorporating LYCRA® SPORT technology for athletic material into their collections, brands and retailers can add value and differentiate their products.

Leverage LYCRA® brand power to increase sales

The LYCRA® brand's high awareness and reputation as a supplier of fibers for peak polyester sports fabric can help brands and retailers increase sales. From free hang tags and videos to co-branded posters, hanger cards, and digital assets – our POS materials are designed to describe performance benefits and increase purchase intent.

Increase consumer satisfaction and brand loyalty

Create activewear and athleisure wear that meets consumer expectations regarding comfort, fit and performance requirements to reduce product returns and encourage repeat purchases. By providing high-quality garments made from athletic fabrics that meet consumer needs, brands and retailers can build a loyal customer base and increase the lifetime value of each customer.

Benefits for mills

‎‎Mills can tap into unparalleled benefits by offering LYCRA® brand fabric for athletic wear, including:

Differentiate your fabrics

This platform enables you to meet the consumer’s need for activewear that offers lasting comfort and performance.

Add value to your collections and drive sell-through

Help brands make better fabric choices for garments based on the power and comfort levels required for a particular sport. When brands sell more garments, you sell more fabric.

Get world-class technical support to build customer loyalty

Gain access to fabric scientists who can map your PCE™ index numbers to tell you how you can improve your fabrics.

Leverage free sales tools to boost your brand power

Value sell sheets and videos educate your customers about the benefits of this platform and may help you close the sale.

Boost your brand power

Brands: The LYCRA® brand logo is viewed worldwide as a symbol of quality assurance by consumers. Promote your use of LYCRA® fiber with free printed or virtual hangtags provided by The LYCRA Company. Swing tags are a simple and effective way to explain LYCRA® fiber’s performance benefits to drive garment sales.

You can also complete our Trademark Licensing Agreement to print your own co-branded POS materials. Whichever option you choose, we make it easy to leverage LYCRA® brand’s 87% global consumer awareness to trigger the purchase decision in stores or online. No other spandex manufacturer provides this level of marketing support to its customers. Be sure to take advantage of this amazing value-added service!

Mills: Have your fabrics tested and certified, which gives your customers the ability to quickly order LYCRA® brand hangtags through our Portal. Remember, the more garments they sell, the more fabric you sell.
