Nylon is the name of a family of synthetic polymers commonly used to make a variety of different types of clothing and consumer products. Unlike other organic or semi-synthetic fibers, nylon fibers are completely synthetic, meaning they are not based on organic materials.

　　The use of this synthetic polymer in clothing began with a desire to find alternatives to parachute silk and hemp during World War II. When the war began, cotton was used in more than 80 percent of textile applications in the United States, and nearly all other textiles were made from wool. However, by 1945, synthetic fibers such as nylon accounted for about 25 percent of the textile market, and as soon as the war was over, manufacturers began looking for new ways to market the new synthetic fabrics. Shortly after the war, traditional clothing materials such as cotton and silk were in short supply, so some made garments from repurposed nylon parachutes. As a result, the idea of using nylon in women's clothing was welcomed, and the production of nylon stockings and underwear took off.

　　Nylon is used in a variety of different applications. Because nylon isn't usually something that's used alone, it comes in a variety of blends. This means that nylon is combined with other fabrics to make them stronger, such as wool. The wool comes naturally from sheep and is an excellent material for absorbing moisture. Nylon, on the other hand, is man-made and very durable. When these two fabrics are combined, they can be made into things like winter clothing. Nylon makes cotton stronger and more durable. Nylon itself is used in many sports apparel. It's almost always used with items like compression shirts and shorts, where it's important not to trap moisture. For example, a 100% cotton shirt will absorb sweat and take longer to dry, but with nylon in the blend, the shirt and shorts are less likely to absorb moisture and dry faster. Plus, nylon is very thin. While that may not seem like much, the use of nylon for activewear means less weight when exercising or running. Nylon is also better because it won't chafe, while cotton sure will.
