Which fibers are used to create Luxtreme?

Luxtreme is a proprietary material developed by Lululemon, primarily composed of nylon and Lycra. This combination is crucial because nylon provides durability, moisture-wicking properties, and a smooth feel against the skin, which is vital for athletic wear. Lycra, known for its exceptional stretch and recovery, ensures that the fabric retains its shape and provides excellent support during movement. This specific blend offers a balance of comfort, flexibility, and performance, making it ideal for high-intensity workouts and active lifestyles. Other fiber combinations, such as polyester and elastane or cotton and wool, do not deliver the same performance attributes that Luxtreme is designed to provide, particularly with respect to moisture management and fit.
