It adds Lycra Dual Comfort technology is unique in that it combines comfortable stretch and cooling comfort with long-lasting shape retention. Key to the technology is the new Lycra T400 A EcoMade fibre. Created with a proprietary process, the new fibre delivers the texture and appearance of a spun yarn, offering low-impact, comfortable and versatile garments with thermal comfort.

The Lycra Company says Lycra Dual Comfort technology ensures:

  • All-day comfort: garments move with the wearer and hold their shape throughout the day
  • Cooling comfort: the technology helps keep the wearer cool and dry
  • Sustainability: Lycra T400 A EcoMade fibre contains both recycled and renewable content for reduced impact vs. virgin fibres

“Now that we’ve experienced all-day comfort, we expect versatile clothes made from sustainable fabrics that provide the freedom to embrace a casual, comfortable lifestyle,” explains Ebru Ozaydin, strategic marketing director at The Lycra Company.

“Fabrics which offer versatile solutions can take the consumer from working hybrid to running daily errands or just a stroll in the park. The term ‘new utility’ has become a buzzword for defining lightweight apparel, combining everyday practicality and urban elegance using low-impact materials.”

The Lycra Company recently became an exclusive distributor for Heiq Aeoniq yarn by making a significant, undisclosed investment and by making a commitment to develop the technology for broad application in textiles.
