Bikinis – Tan Thru Bikinis Offer A Great Look

The "Tan Thru®" line Tropical influences are evident in the 2002 collection as more than 40 new prints with a tropical island theme are introduced. Some of these prints emphasize the vibrancy of the ocean; while others like Shangri-la and Bamboo, feature multi-toned florals in blue, mint and burgundy. Nature, jungle and animal motifs, in fresh, bright colors, such as blue/turquoise, yellow/green, bright and dark blue as well as purple; and there are gold and silver effects to highlight selected prints. New styles of this season include a convertible slide back one piece for men and women, a contour underwire one piece for women, a two piece with a front gathered bandeau top with removable straps, and a contour underwire C-D range halter top bikini, along with our best selling tanks, bikinis and separates.

The patented Solar Tan Thru® line continues to satisfy beach lifestyle enthusiasts with its versatility and comfort. The high 32% lycra content of the results in ease of movement in high function beach and watersports. The multifaceted textile allows water to evaporate through the pores of the fabric causing the suit to dry in half the time of a regular suit. And most importantly, the bright, high contrast color prints make the fabric opaque to the eye when wet or dry. All the while allowing approx. 45% of the sun's rays through the fabric - truly tan through not see through.

The "Dry Weave®" line water-repellent "Dry Weave®" swimwear from Solar® Hi Tech is designed to repel water and inhibit water absorbency up to 99%. The patented technology allows for increased durability, 100% colorfast fabric and assures comfort while commanding fashion. This ultra-quick drying fabric provides less weight, added comfort and competition quality. Additionally, the "Dry Weave®" fabric vastly reduces friction between the suit and water for optimum speed. The material's mesh and grip resemble that of currently popular woven items, and its "second skin" effect arises through a special polyamide multi-micro thread. The dynamic cut and style of this range is emphasized through flat seam work together with some color-contrasted decorative stitching, and extended designs are combined with interesting single-color areas. This is truly the ultimate performance for competition, sport and dive enthusiasts.
