Nylon (clothing)

Nylon is a synthetic fabric made from polymer fibers, developed in the 1930s. It is prized for its durability, elasticity, and resistance to wear, making it ideal for clothing such as activewear, hosiery, and outdoor gear. Nylon is lightweight, dries quickly, and maintains its shape well, although it can be less breathable than natural fibers. Its versatility and affordability have made it a popular choice in the fashion and textile industries, providing a practical alternative to natural materials while offering excellent strength and resilience.
