FAQs
What is the 'Second Skin' fit?
The 'Second Skin' fit refers to the snug, body-hugging design that moves with you and feels like a second layer of skin, offering comfort and freedom of movement.
How do I remove or insert the padding?
Locate the small opening in the side seam of the bust area. Gently push the padding out or slide the new/original padding back in through this opening.
Is this top suitable for competitive swimming?
While it offers high support and coverage, its design is optimized for surf and general athletic activities. For competitive swimming, dedicated racing suits are generally recommended.
Can I machine wash the surf top?
It is recommended to hand wash cold with mild soap to preserve the fabric's integrity and elasticity. Machine washing on a delicate cycle might be possible but risks damaging the material over time.
What activities is this top best suited for?
It is ideal for surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, gym workouts, yoga, beach volleyball, and other active or water-based pursuits requiring support and coverage.
What does the keyhole detail do?
The keyhole detail is a stylistic design element located at the front of the top, adding a subtle visual accent.
How should I care for the purple color?
To maintain the vibrancy of the purple color, always rinse immediately after use, wash with cold water and mild soap, and dry out of direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Padding shifts or becomes uneven
Remove padding before washing. Re-insert carefully after the top is dry, ensuring it lies flat within the pocket.
Top feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If between sizes, consider sizing up for a less compressive fit, though this may slightly reduce the high-support feature.
Fabric losing elasticity
Follow care instructions meticulously. Avoid harsh detergents, high heat, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during drying.
