fabric life
Yes, it is basically a simple engineering principle - that which is under stress at particular points or even all over (eg Lycra) will have a shorter life expectancy and the return to original shape will be possible less and less over time.
The durability of nylon is legendary and I would suggest that Lycra would show up better if the fine grades were avoided as cheap suits if not brand new will not always look so good in fit particularly when also carrying extra weight with the ingress of water.
