Xtra Life LYCRA® Fiber

Beautiful, longer-lasting, better fit.

Xtra Life LYCRA fiber is the new standard in swimwear, delivering beautiful, long-lasting fit that counters the curse of ‘bag and sag’.


As well as addressing common problems in swimwear quality, such as thinning material and shape loss, one key area where Xtra Life LYCRA fiber makes a notable difference to performance and lifespan is in combating the effects of chlorine. Swimming pool chemicals rapidly deteriorate fibers and fabrics, affecting the longevity of aquawear, but Xtra Life LYCRA fiber resists chlorine and other pool chemicals, allowing garments to keep their shape 5-10 times longer than unprotected elastane.


Swimwear manufacturers have been quick to incorporate Xtra Life LYCRA fiber into their swimwear products, appreciative of the fact that it makes materials incredibly comfortable, and unbelievably supportive: it produces a flattering look without sacrificing anything in comfort.


INVISTA promotes co-brand ranges with marketing support that include hangtags, labelling, retail programmes and PR campaigns, helping to communicate the benefits of this incredible innovation from INVISTA.


Now, with Xtra Life LYCRA fiber, every woman can enjoy swimsuits with the very best fit, without fear that the beautiful swimwear she loves has lost its shape.


“We have used LYCRA fiber for many years, both for swimming costumes and for lingerie and feminine corsetry. For us, LYCRA fiber brand represents a privileged observatory and an inexhaustible updating fountain. The last innovation for swimwear, the new Xtra Life LYCRA fiber, thanks to a greater resistance to chlorine, guarantees a higher performance of wearability and shape retention. All qualities are very exciting to enhance our creativity.” Alberto Masotti owner LA PERLA GROUP.
