What is the swimwear fabric quality like?
Shy Skin uses plain and printed ADVANCED RECYCLED VITA XTRA LIFE LYCRA® fabric in our swimwear. This high quality fabric made in Italy is sustainable, with extra strength and maximum durability. The presence of LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fabric means it is more chlorine resistant that your average swimwear fabric. LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber is a trademark of The LYCRA Company.
What is the Sun Protection rating?
The plain coloured ADVANCED RECYCLED VITA XTRA LIFE LYCRA® fabric is rated UPF 50+ by the manufacturer. The printed ADVANCED RECYCLED VITA XTRA LIFE LYCRA® fabric is sample tested for it's UPF rating. The rating will be noted in the product description. based on the fabric and design of the garment - e.g. a bikini top will not display a UPF rating due to its minimal skin coverage even if the fabric is rated UPF50+. ​Please note: The UPF rating applies only to the area of skin covered. Protection may be reduced if the material is wet, stretched or from the effects of normal wear or exposure to chemicals. For best sun protection use hats, clothing that provides maximum skin coverage, sunglasses, sunscreen and shade.
