Core Features of LYCRA Xtralife Swimwear Fabric​

LYCRA Xtralife (officially named LYCRA® Extra Life) is a high-performance elastic fabric specially developed for professional swimwear. It has become an industry benchmark with its five core advantages:

Extreme Chlorine Resistance: It exhibits exceptional resistance to pool chlorine water, seawater, and chemical substances in sunscreen. This effectively prevents fiber corrosion, extending its service life by 5 to 10 times compared to ordinary spandex fabrics. Even with long-term use, it is not prone to breakage or aging.

Superior Elasticity and Rebound: Adopting four-way stretch technology, it combines ultra-elasticity with precise rebound performance. After stretching, it can quickly return to its original shape, fitting the body closely without feeling tight. It not only ensures unrestricted movement during activities like swimming and surfing but also maintains the swimwear's shape for a long time, preventing bulging and sagging.

Efficient Quick-Drying Function: Through its special fiber structure, it achieves rapid moisture wicking and sweat evaporation. Sweat can be quickly transferred to the fabric surface and evaporated, keeping the skin dry even after high-intensity sports and avoiding sticky discomfort.

Strong UV Protection: With a UPF rating of 50+, it can block more than 98% of ultraviolet rays. This effectively protects the skin from sun damage, making it suitable for long-term outdoor water activities.

Its stable performance endows the fabric with both durability and comfort, making it the preferred choice for professional swimwear and water sports apparel.
