Complete list of Nylon/LYCRA products

There's something to be said for feeling relaxed. You're more confident. Stress rolls off your back. That's what Nylon/LYCRA^® fabric is all about. Our clothing made with Nylon/LYCRA stays smooth and looks smart, whether you're on a Sunday run, strolling the beach or delivering a presentation at work. We knit just the right amount of LYCRA spandex into each garment for the most desirable level of stretch, so the fabric moves with you.
