10月 13, 2025
For a gold medal in swimwear, look to Carvico, maker of long-lasting swim fabrics.
The Italian textile mill, renowned for its high-performance warp-knit stretch fabrics, currently offers two fabrics with LYCRA® fibers that go the distance for swimmers.
CARVICO’S PREMIUM SWIMWEAR FABRICS
First up: Garda, an ultra-comfortable, UV- and chlorine-resistant performance fabric that fits like a second skin. Garda gets its fit magic from LYCRA® ADAPTIV fiber, an advanced spandex innovation that adjusts its elasticity to meet the wearer’s needs. With the help of LYCRA® ADAPTIV fiber, Garda delivers inclusive sizing, fitting a range of body types within a size and offering total confidence to the wearer.
Next: Vita Life, a more sustainable swimwear fabric that offers serious performance benefits. Made with bio-derived LYCRA® EcoMade fiber and other recycled and renewable textile ingredients, Vita Life is versatile, ultra-durable, thin, chlorine- and sunscreen-resistant, and offers UV protection.
ADAPTIVE PERFORMANCE
LYCRA® ADAPTIV fiber lends special performance qualities to Carvico’s Garda fabric. In motion, LYCRA® ADAPTIV fiber delivers garments that fit well and won’t budge, and at rest, it offers comfortable compression and shaping.
BIO-DERIVED BLISS
Bio-derived LYCRA® EcoMade fiber is crafted from 70% renewable content derived from field corn grown in the US Midwest and delivers the same performance as our classic LYCRA® fiber. In Vita Life, it lends sustainable stretch and complements the fabric’s other ingredients.
