Zoggs Cottesloe Hip Racer - Black - XS

A 'Hip Racer' typically refers to a style of men's swimwear that sits lower on the hips and has a shorter leg length compared to traditional swim shorts or briefs, offering a balance between coverage and freedom of movement.

Refer to the Zoggs size chart, paying close attention to the waist measurements provided. It is recommended to measure your waist and compare it with the chart for the best fit.

No, machine washing is not recommended. It is best to hand wash gently with a mild detergent in cold water to maintain the integrity of the Ecolast+™ fabric and its properties.

The 100% chlorine resistant feature is designed for extended durability. With proper care (rinsing after use and hand washing), the fabric's resistance to chlorine degradation is significantly enhanced compared to standard swimwear.

While offering a comfortable and flexible fit for fitness, the Hip Racer style is generally more suited for training, leisure, and regular fitness swimming rather than elite competitive racing where tighter-fitting jammers or briefs might be preferred.

UPF50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+. It indicates that the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, providing excellent protection for the skin.

The Ecolast+™ fabric uses REPREVE® yarn, which is made from recycled plastic bottles. This process diverts waste from landfills and oceans, transforming it into high-quality performance swimwear fabric.

Adjust the internal drawstring for a more secure or relaxed fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size based on the provided size chart.

Ensure the product is rinsed thoroughly in cold, fresh water immediately after each use to remove chlorine and salt. Follow the recommended hand-washing instructions.

This can sometimes occur with chlorine-resistant fabrics. A gentle hand wash with a mild detergent and allowing to air dry should help restore flexibility.
