with Lycra Sport fabric includes
sportswear, swimwear and cycling
jerseys. The range is available
through popular online shopping
sites like Yebhi.com as well as
multi-brand sport outlets such as
Total Sports, Champion Sports and
Diamond Sports across India. The
range carries the Lycra Sport fabric
hand tag, an assurance of superior
quality of the product. In internal

studies, Lycra Sport fabrics were
shown to perform better than those
containing generic spandex on the
key parameters of recovery power,
shape retention and freedom of
movement.
