Product Information

Full details

Designed for adult female swimmers, particularly those in the open water community, the Zoggs Ecofeel Undersea Magic Scoopback Swimsuit offers a unique blend of performance and sustainability. Its key benefit is the patented Thermal Silver Lining technology, which retains body heat for up to 60% longer than standard swimwear, making it ideal for colder water conditions. A potential caveat for some users might be its Level 2 (Low Support) rating, which may not be sufficient for those seeking high-impact support. This swimsuit features sustainable fabric made from recycled plastic waste, chlorine resistance, and UPF50+ protection, combining functionality with environmental consciousness.

FAQs

What makes the Thermal Silver Lining special?

The patented Thermal Silver Lining technology is designed to reflect your body's natural heat back towards your skin, helping to keep you warmer for up to 60% longer compared to standard swimwear. This is particularly beneficial for cold water swimming.

What does 'Ecofeel™ material' mean?

Ecofeel™ is Zoggs' patented fabric made from 100% recycled plastic waste. This includes materials like abandoned fishing nets and industrial waste, making the swimsuit an environmentally conscious choice.

Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?

This swimsuit is rated at Support Level 2 (Low Support). While it offers a compressive and comfortable fit, it is primarily designed for recreational swimming, open water, and training rather than high-impact competitive events that may require higher levels of support.

How does this swimsuit protect against the sun?

The fabric provides maximum protection against harmful UV rays, offering a UPF50+ rating. This means it blocks over 98% of UV radiation.

Can I use this swimsuit in a chlorinated pool?

Yes, the swimsuit is chlorine-resistant and has been tested for 400 hours of swim testing. However, it is crucial to rinse it thoroughly in cold, fresh water after each pool session to prolong its lifespan.

What is the recommended way to wash the swimsuit?

It is recommended to hand wash the swimsuit gently in cold water with a mild detergent after each use. Avoid bleach and do not tumble dry; instead, lay it flat to dry in the shade.

What does the 'Undersea Magic' pattern represent?

The 'Undersea Magic' refers to the vibrant, bold print design of the swimsuit, inspired by the aquatic environment. This design also serves to increase visibility in open water.

Troubleshooting

Swimsuit feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If you are between sizes, consider sizing up for a less compressive fit, though this may slightly reduce the benefits of the compressive fabric. Allow the suit to stretch slightly with use.

Reduced heat retention after several uses.

Ensure the swimsuit is being cared for properly according to the instructions. Proper rinsing and avoiding harsh detergents are key to maintaining the integrity of the Thermal Silver Lining. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat when drying.

Fabric appears to be pilling or snagging.

This can occur if the swimsuit comes into contact with rough surfaces, such as the side of a pool or abrasive rocks. Always rinse thoroughly and dry flat away from rough textures. Inspect the swimsuit regularly for any signs of wear.

Color fading.

While the fabric is chlorine-resistant, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight or certain chemicals can cause fading. Always rinse thoroughly after use and dry in the shade. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This swimsuit requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: Designed for adult female swimmers. While ideal for open water and cold water conditions, it is also suitable for regular pool use. It offers Level 2 (Low) support, making it compatible with activities like leisurely swimming, training, and aqua aerobics where high-impact support is not essential. It pairs well with other open water swimming accessories like goggles and swim caps.

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the swimsuit thoroughly in cold, fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, and other residues.
  2. Hand Wash: Hand wash gently with a mild detergent (specifically for swimwear or delicate fabrics) in cold water. Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals.
  3. Do Not Soak: Avoid soaking the swimsuit for extended periods.
  4. Dry Flat: Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing or twisting. Lay the swimsuit flat to dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can degrade the fabric and elasticity.
  5. Avoid Abrasive Surfaces: Be mindful of rough surfaces that could snag or damage the fabric.
