Synthsilk is a polymer that exists as a gas when pressurized and solidifies under normal air pressure into a thin fabric resembling silk. Primarily intended for medical use as a field bandage, many folks have taken advantage of the material's diaphanous properties to put it to use as form-fitting, albeit flimsy, clothing.

The X-Men's uniforms are often lined with synthsilk to prevent wear and chafing, especially in long-lasting training sessions.
