For durable swimwear that resists damage from chlorine, UV rays, heat, sunscreen, and body oils — and still looks great — LYCRA XTRA LIFE® fiber, sometimes known as LYCRA® lastingFIT fiber, is a superior choice. Our testing, in both lab and real pool conditions, shows it readily endures exposure to extreme conditions, resisting fit loss and fiber breakage to deliver long-lasting shape and style.
