Fabric

This item is from our fast drying French Woven range. Every strand is elastane with a flexible nylon and polyester casing around it. The drying time, fabric life and compressive (figure controlling) effect are like nothing you have ever experienced in a swimsuit. The elaborate milling process carries a cost, but that will soon be forgotten; the many benefits of your investment are what will endure. 

The top features:

• an adjustable under bust band offering plus-or-minus 4cm beyond the recommended size in each range—wear it loose as a bra or when sunbathing then cinch it up tight for high diving or swimming in surf. 

• a Pride logo clasp that closes with an audible snap, thanks to the addition of washers. 
• bagged out seams for maximum comfort and to eliminate the ingress of sand.

The bind waist (skimpy) bottoms feature:

• a Pride logo clasp on each hip for the convenience of changing while wearing your trousers.
• tiny washers in the clasps to ensure they snap shut.
• fully secured lining throughout the seamless front panel, for comfort and to ensure the concealed seams remain hidden. 
• self-lining, front and back, to even anatomical contours and prohibit the ingress of sand
• added rubber tension in the rear seams to resist slippage, for example when surfing.
• a cut that strikes a balance between decorum, tanning and feeling free in the sun and the water. 

The high waisted briefs (not pictured) feature

• Full bottom coverage 
• Self-lining for compression/figure control
• bagged out seams with fully secured lining through the front leg and waist for comfort and a minimalist finish,
• added rubber tension to the rear seams to resist slippage, for example when surfing.

Materials

• Every strand of the stretch woven fabric, whether it is metallic gold or orchid in colour, has a core of elastane within a protective casing of strong nylon and polyester around it. (Read about the French Woven fabric we use). 
• The lining is the same fabric, but black, and 143gsm to support the smart tailored look and provide unrivalled figure control.
• Straps and bands are made from 190gsm Vita from Carvico in Milan. It is 78% Recycled Nylon, a.k.a. "Econyl" and 22% Xtra Life Lycra. 

• All threads are UV and chlorine resistant polyester. 
• For elasticity and endurance, 0.63mm treated latex is ran through all straps and opening seams with 0.12mm Nisshinbo Mobilon rubber in the seams of the triangles.

• All metal hardware is moulded exclusively for Pride. Electrostatic rack plating contains no heavy metals, for example cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, nickel or lead.
