There was a time when lycra was the sole preserve of only two groups of people: Fitness Instructors and the Power Rangers.
Now, thanks to new fabric technologies, it's the best way to dress for a whole range of sports.
Come join the lycra-loving tribe and tell the world you love wearing lycra.

Tycho H answered the question Where do you buy your lycra hotpants? Do you have a fav brand?
Can't you buy lycra pants that at least have legs?? Hotpants probably aren't good enough for poledance because most of the leg is still unprotected and naked.. But I'm a guy and I don't poledance.. So what do I know...
Been buying Insanity Clothing hotpants for pole practice but wondered if you have a favourite brand, shop you prefer? Also wondered if yoga shorts would be better (pricier but last longer)?
Ron W answered the question Does wearing compression long tights really help in your sport?
I'm not a fan of full length tights, but I run in long shorts under my real shorts. I've tried 3/4 length tights, they're okay but I like mostly bare legs. I like the Under Armour compression shorts as they're a...

the other 2 guys on my adventure racing team would never be seen in lycra, always in baggy mtb shorts...but just this season, one of them started to wear lycra while we're on the bikes...but as soon as we transition, he throws on the running short...

I'm looking more towards compression shorts. Any top brands to recommend (although not too expensive)? Hope to get a pair soon.

Performance enhancing I'm not convinced. Recovery enhancing - hell yeah! In 2010, I rode over 700 miles in 6 days - each night sleeping in my compression tights and drinking plenty of water. Legs fresh as daisies eve...

it's very helpful. It doesn't flap about in the wind and it's not to warm or too cold. It's like a second skin and is very comfortable.

The hipsters on the Greenway may laugh, but cycling in heels and a dress/business suit just isn't for those of us who sweat! Fear of being seen in lycra kept me from cycling to work for a bit, but EFF them - I am lovin the mawil world (now I just...

Trinny and Susannah would probably tell me not to wear lycra I'm just standing up for the right of mawils. Besides it's a darn sight easier to get on and off than the neoprene I used to wear when I kayaked. I worked out one day that I had 2cm ...

I walked into a pub a few weeks ago with my lycra cycling gear on. The only person who even looked twice was , who was for some reason embarrassed. I probably wouldn't recommend it at a funeral though.
