Lycra’s ground-breaking innovations include LycraFitSense, LycraMyFit, LycraEcoMade and Planet Agenda. Lycra will showcase these latest innovations at ISPO, a leading multi-segment trade fair for sports that takes place 26-29 January.

LycraFitSense technology is a patented water-based dispersion. This revolutionary innovation is screen printed onto fabric containing Lycra fiber to provide lightweight, targeted support exactly where it is needed the most. This solution also helps streamline garment manufacturing by eliminating sewn-in panels and extra seams. LycraMyFit is a polymer engineered to deliver a customized fit experience by offering greater shape tolerance for a range of body types within a size. This innovation directly addresses major consumer needs around fit, which can help brands reduce returns, increase consumer satisfaction, and build brand loyalty. The Lycra Company is also featuring its first branded elastane that is made with pre-consumer recycled materials at ISPO. LycraEcoMade is an elastane offering the same performance as the original Lycra fiber but is made partly with fiber waste collected at the company’s manufacturing sites, which is blended with virgin polymer at specific concentrations. This sustainable solution reduces waste and puts it back into production. Planet Agenda is Lycra’s sustainability platform created to provide insights, technologies, products, and processes that can help customers reduce waste, save energy, extend garment wear life and more.

Lycra works with brands, and their supply chains, to create offerings that bring tangible value to garments, consistent with consumers’ active lifestyles and their desire for lasting comfort, fit and shape.
