About Lycrafleece Material
Lycrafleece is a Lycra Spandex 3-ply laminate, designed for luxurious comfort and impressive durability. The Lycra Spandex gives the material the ideal amount of stretch to support the thumb without pulling on it while the polyester lining material wicks moisture away from the skin to stop sweat or heat from building up under the thumb brace. This remarkable material is soft, long-lasting, elasticated and extremely breathable.
