Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ Boyleg Swimsuit - Black - 18

LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber is a specialized elastane designed to resist damage from chlorine, sunscreen, and body oils. This significantly extends the lifespan of the swimsuit, making it last up to 10 times longer than swimwear made with ordinary elastane, ensuring it retains its shape and fit.

Yes, absolutely. The primary benefit of the chlorine-resistant LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber is its durability in chlorinated environments, making it ideal for frequent and regular use in swimming pools. Proper care after each swim will maximize its longevity.

The 'boyleg' style refers to the cut of the leg openings, which extend further down the thigh, similar to shorts, providing more coverage than a traditional high-cut or medium-cut swimsuit. This design offers a more modest look and a secure, comfortable fit, reducing the likelihood of riding up during active movements.

No, it is highly recommended to *not* tumble dry this swimsuit. The heat from a tumble dryer can damage the elastic fibers, causing the fabric to lose its shape and elasticity. Always air dry your swimsuit by laying it flat or hanging it in the shade.

The inclusion of 82% Recycled Nylon offers several benefits: it contributes to environmental sustainability by reusing materials, and Nylon itself is known for its strength, durability, and quick-drying properties, all of which enhance the swimsuit's performance and longevity.

After ensuring the swimsuit is completely clean and dry, store it flat or folded neatly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid crushing it or storing it in a damp environment, which could lead to mildew or damage to the fabric.

This often occurs due to improper care or excessive heat exposure. Ensure you are rinsing the suit immediately after use and machine washing at no more than 40 degrees. Always air dry in the shade; never tumble dry, as high heat degrades the elastic LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber. Check sizing to ensure it's not being overstretched.

While the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber is chlorine-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or intense sunlight can still affect dye retention. Ensure thorough rinsing after swimming and air dry in the shade. Avoid storing wet in a bag for extended periods.

Check if the swimsuit is the correct size. A suit that is too small can cause pressure points, while one that is too large may bunch up. Ensure seams are flat against your skin. The shape-retentive fabric should offer a smooth fit.

Pilling can occur from friction against rough surfaces (e.g., pool decks, certain slides). Avoid sitting on abrasive surfaces or coming into contact with sharp objects that could snag the fabric. Gentle machine washing can also help minimize friction during cleaning.
