A premium nylon fiber engineered for durability, flexibility, and comfort. NILIT® offers a second-skin feel while remaining highly resistant to wear. Breathable, moisture-wicking, and UV-protective (UPF 40+), it’s designed for performance that lasts.

Made from fossil fuels, nylon has a surprising past—its origins trace back to ancient plants and even dinosaurs. Engineered for durability, it was first used in military parachutes and fine hosiery. Today, it remains a top choice for strength, flexibility, and longevity.

In the 1950s, chemist Joseph Shivers at DuPont revolutionized textiles by developing LYCRA® as a superior alternative to rubber in clothing. Unlike rubber, LYCRA® is lightweight, durable, and can stretch up to five times its original length while consistently returning to its initial shape. This innovation not only enhanced comfort and fit but also transformed fashion trends, leading to the creation of form-fitting garments that were previously unimaginable.
Released with a name randomly generated by a computer, the new LYCRA® fiber could stretch so much more than the rubber that inspired it.

Spandex, also known as elastane, is a high-performance fiber designed for exceptional elasticity and shape retention. Originally developed for space suits, it provides unparalleled stretch and support, ensuring garments move seamlessly with the body while maintaining its form.

Spandex was used as a layer in the moon landing space suit, specifically as part of the inner layer for comfort and flexibility, fitting snugly under the more rigid outer layers.
