LYCRA fibre has been chosen by Speedo for Fastskin Swimsuit

INVISTA, one of the world’s largest integrated producers of fibres and polymers, announces that its LYCRA® fibre has been chosen by Speedo for the revolutionary Fastskin³ swimsuit collection unveiled on 30th November 2011, during an exclusive global launch. With a heritage spanning more than 35 years of helping swimwear fabrics provide exceptional fit, form and function for the water, the LYCRA® fibre brand has a natural alliance with the world of swimming, and INVISTA has a long history of providing Speedo with its premium fibres.

The Speedo FASTSKIN³ collection comprises three tiers of technology that are tailored to the requirements of swimmers of differing abilities. LYCRA® fibre has been used across all three levels of the Fastskin³ collection.
The FASTSKIN3 Super Elite Swimsuit uses the highly innovative HYDRO-K ZONE 3D FABRIC. INVISTA’s premium fibre for swimwear - Xtra Life LYCRA® fibre - has been incorporated into this pinnacle product. The varying decitexes of LYCRA® fibre knitted throughout the fabric help to create the graduated compression across different body zones.

For female swimmers, Speedo has developed an innovative Arm Hole Entry system which makes the garment easier to get on and off, yet still providing maximum coverage of fabric over the body, and thereby optimising hydrodynamic performance. The high LYCRA® fibre content helps to create the extreme stretch and recovery required for the athlete to physically fit into the suit through the armhole!
