THE TECHNOLOGY
INVISTA, leader in developing market-driven innovations for the textile industry and always at the forefront to spot new market trends, has upgraded its LYCRA® SPORT technology, offering to sportswear producer partners an even more innovative platform.Nowadays consumers are more oriented to a healthy lifestyle: biologic food and sports. Practicing sports is a must in a contemporary lifestyle world, it helps us to stay young and healthy as well testified by the rapid growth of the activewear segment towards innovation for the entire apparel sector. Consumers have 4 key expectations from their activewear garments, all involving comfort and performance:

• Flexibility (garment stretches and moves with the wearer)
• Support (shaping compression)
• Feels Good effect (comfort)
• Fit (stay-in-place)

Consumers are increasingly looking for clothing with targeted performances that support them during sports activities, be it training or competition, and that offer a perfect trade-off between Performance and Comfort. Sensitive® Fabrics by Eurojersey with LYCRA® SPORT PCE™ index technology certification helps activewear brands create hi-performing garments for each specific end use.

THE NEW LYCRA® SPORT PLATFORM
New LYCRA® SPORT platform combines the proven stretch technology of LYCRA® fibre with scientific testing standards that measure fabric performance – both in its length and width – helping ensure that garments made with LYCRA® SPORT technology fabrics provide the comfort and performance expected.
Each fabric is analyzed in both the directions (Width and Length) with the aim of highlighting every possible difference in terms of performance.

Based on new proprietary Power, Comfort and Energy indexes (PCETM), the new certification delivers a simplified rating method that assesses fabrics performance on a 1-10 scale.
POWER index (Pi) – measures the performance (degree of compression Power) delivered by the fabric on a garment.
COMFORT index (Ci) – measures the fabrics ability to move with you without feeling it, or the “second skin” effect.
ENERGY index (Ei) – rates the energy lost just moving the garment.

The combination of the rates for each index allows to draw the Identity card for each fabric.
For each fabric, the specific performance rates for POWER and COMFORT are summurized in a dedicated graphic. Fabric’s ENERGY (Ei) rate, the third index, is combined with POWER and COMFORT rates to define the complete map of fabric performance.

The advantages of the new Lycra® Sport PCE™ Index Technology certification for activewear brands
