Product Information
Full details
This Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE ™ X Back Swimsuit in Red, UK size 14, is designed for adult women seeking a durable and comfortable swimwear option for the pool or beach. Its key benefit is the enhanced longevity provided by LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber, which resists chlorine up to ten times longer than standard elastane. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific 'X Back' design, which offers support but may have a distinct feel compared to other styles. Key features include a fully lined front for reassurance and comfort, contrasting strap details, and a fabric composition of 82% Nylon and 18% Lycra.

FAQs
What makes LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber different?
LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber is engineered to resist chlorine and heat up to 10 times longer than ordinary elastane. This means the swimsuit retains its shape, color, and elasticity for a much longer period, even with frequent use in chlorinated pools.
How should I wash this swimsuit?
You can machine wash the swimsuit at a maximum of 40 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Always rinse it with fresh water after swimming before washing.
Can I use this swimsuit for competitive swimming?
Yes, the durable construction and chlorine-resistant properties make it suitable for regular training and competitive swimming where swimwear longevity is important.
What does 'X Back' mean for the fit?
The 'X Back' design refers to the style of the shoulder straps, which cross over at the back. This style typically offers a secure and supportive fit, distributing pressure evenly and allowing for freedom of movement.
Is the front fully lined?
Yes, the swimsuit features a fully lined front, providing added comfort, coverage, and reassurance during wear.
What is the fabric composition?
The fabric composition is 82% Nylon and 18% Lycra, offering a good balance of stretch, durability, and comfort.
Will this swimsuit fade in the sun?
While designed for durability, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can eventually lead to fading. It is best to dry the swimsuit in the shade to preserve its color.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the UK sizing chart. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a different size or style.
Color fading prematurely
While the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber offers enhanced colorfastness, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals can still cause fading. Always rinse thoroughly after use and dry in the shade.
Fabric losing elasticity
Follow the care instructions diligently, particularly rinsing after each use and avoiding high heat or harsh chemicals. This will help preserve the fabric's elasticity.
