LYCRA® TOUGH MAX technology

Why choose LYCRA® TOUGH MAX technology?

‏‏‎ ‎

The challenge:

Many consumers desire durable jeans and heavy-duty twill work pants that will stand up to everyday abuse, but also provide comfort and freedom of movement. From the skateboarder at the skatepark to the construction worker on the jobsite, rugged jeans and woven pants can help protect them whether at work or play.

The solution:

The strength and durability of garments made with LYCRA® TOUGH MAX™ technology comes from the use of LYCRA® T400® fiber in the weft. Meet the consumer’s need for rugged jeans and pants without sacrificing garment aesthetics or comfort. This spandex (elastane) fiber is also the perfect choice for great-fitting, hardwearing workwear and jobwear too.

Consumer research

Findings from a recent study of 2,500 consumers across five countries showed:

•    55% of respondents indicated that when selecting jeans, it’s important that the fabric is durable and doesn’t wear away
•    Only 22% of respondents indicated that the last pair of jeans they purchased was in fact durable
•    This gap between importance and satisfaction shows there is consumer demand for durable denim such as jeans made with LYCRA® TOUGH MAX technology.
