Full details

The Slazenger X Back Swimsuit is designed for adult women seeking a comfortable and durable swimwear option for pool or beach activities. Its key benefit is the use of LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber, offering significantly longer wear compared to standard elastane. A potential caveat is that it's specifically designed for women, and the red color may be less universally appealing than other options.

FAQs

What makes LYCRA XTRA LIFE different from regular Lycra?

LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber is engineered to resist damage from chlorine, heat, and sunscreen lotions. This means it retains its shape and elasticity up to 10 times longer than standard elastane swimwear.

Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?

While durable and comfortable, this swimsuit is primarily designed for recreational and fitness swimming. For competitive swimming, specialized suits offering higher compression and specific performance features might be more appropriate.

What is the benefit of the fully lined front?

The fully lined front provides extra comfort, coverage, and a smooth feel against the skin, ensuring confidence and support during wear.

How should I wash this swimsuit?

You can machine wash it at 40 degrees Celsius. It is recommended to rinse it with fresh water after use and dry it in the shade.

Can I use this swimsuit in a hot tub?

While LYCRA XTRA LIFE is more resistant to heat than standard elastane, frequent exposure to high temperatures in hot tubs can still degrade the fibers over time. Rinsing immediately after use is crucial.

What sizes are available?

This product is available for adult women in various UK dress sizes. This specific listing is for UK size 12. Please check other listings for different sizes and colors.

What is the material composition?

The swimsuit is made from 82% Nylon and 18% Lycra.

Troubleshooting

Swimsuit loses elasticity quickly

Ensure you rinse the swimsuit with fresh water immediately after each use to remove chlorine and salt. Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully.

Strap discomfort or slipping

Verify you have selected the correct size. The X back design should offer a secure fit; ensure the straps are not twisted and are positioned correctly.

Color fading

While the LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber offers good color retention, prolonged direct sunlight can cause fading. Always dry the swimsuit in the shade.
