• Ideal for active beachgoers and water sports enthusiasts.

Performance Benefit: Our quick-dry swimwear allows for comfortable all-day wear, even when transitioning between water and land activities.

UV Protection Fabrics

We prioritize sun safety with our UV protection technology:

• Fabrics with UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 50+ rating.
• Blocks over 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays.
• Protection maintained even when the fabric is wet or stretched.
• Reduces the need for excessive sunscreen application, benefiting both skin and marine ecosystems.

Health Impact: Our UV protection technology provides an additional layer of defense against sun damage, supporting long-term skin health.
