Under Armour, in collaboration with Celanese, has launched NEOLAST™, a groundbreaking alternative to traditional spandex. This innovative fiber is crafted from recyclable elastoester polymers using a solvent-free, melt-extrusion process, offering a more sustainable and environmentally friendly option for stretch fabrics. NEOLAST™ is designed to provide superior performance with enhanced moisture management, durability, and comfort, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of applications including sportswear, medical items, and denim.

The first product to showcase NEOLAST™ is Under Armour’s Vanish Pro tee. Designed with a minimalist approach, the Vanish Pro tee allows the NEOLAST™ material to take center stage, offering consistent stretch and fit throughout the garment’s life. This innovation aligns with Under Armour’s ambitious goal to reduce spandex usage by 75% by 2030, promoting a move towards more sustainable performance apparel.

As NEOLAST™ begins to scale across additional product lines, both Under Armour and Celanese are excited about its potential to reshape the industry, offering athletes high-performance gear while supporting environmental sustainability.
