LYCRA FUSION™ FIBER
Creates durable, run-resistant sheer stockings
WHY CHOOSE LYCRA® FUSION™ FIBER?
The challenge:
Durability is a major concern of consumers who wear hosiery. They desire ultra-sheer pantyhose that give legs a flawless appearance, but the sheerness makes them fragile. A simple snag often leads to an unsightly run, which results in the garment being thrown out and a disappointed consumer.
The solution:
Increase consumer satisfaction with the long-lasting performance of LYCRA FUSION™ fiber. It creates durable hosiery by stopping perforations, holes and snags from turning into runs. Women will enjoy the confidence that comes from their legs looking beautiful all-day long.
