Default Polyester/Lycra vs. Nylon/Lycra
Agonswim's web site says that many so-called Nylon/Lycra swimsuits in the past were actually made of Polyester/Lycra. Polyester does not absorb water, holds colors better and is softer. Nylon is sturdier but the Lycra falls apart before anyhow, so sturdiness may be moot.

Anyone know why Poly/Lycra has fallen out of favor?
