Compact and light fabric structures are inspired by the touch of dolphin skin and fish scales that enhance performancein the water. Reduced drag and quick dry fabrics feature in ensuring a stealth-like cut through the water. Matte andbright fabrics feature with lucid accents that glint in the water achieved from yarn use and from metallic and iridescentprint placement and tipping. creora® highclo™ guarantees longevity, with high compression knits zoned into strategicpoints to create core stability for support, allowing swimmers to glide through the water effortlessly.

In addition to traditional racer back one piece suits and sculpting swim shorts for men, fabrics must be quick dry andhydrophobic in encouraging speed. A growing sector for the fitness swimwear sector is the inclusion of built-in bra sup-port, inspired by the sports bra sector.
