FAQs

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks approximately 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB), providing excellent sun protection.

Are these suitable for competitive swimming?

These bottoms are designed for general swimming and water activities, offering comfort and protection. For competitive swimming, a more specialized suit might be preferred depending on regulations and performance needs.

How should I choose the right size?

Refer to the Mountain Warehouse size guide available on their website or product page. It's recommended to measure your waist and hips and compare them to the provided chart, as sizing can vary between brands.

Can I wear these for surfing or other intense water sports?

Yes, the stretchy fabric and secure fit are designed to accommodate active movements, making them suitable for many water sports like surfing, paddleboarding, and kayaking.

Are these quick-drying?

The polyester and nylon blend is designed to be relatively quick-drying, especially when dried in appropriate conditions, allowing for comfortable wear after exiting the water.

What is the difference between these and regular bikini bottoms?

These are 'long' swimsuit bottoms, offering more coverage than standard bikini bottoms. They also feature specific treatments for UV protection and resistance to chlorine and saltwater, enhancing their durability and functionality for active use.

Troubleshooting

Swimsuit bottoms feel tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the brand's size chart. The stretchy fabric should allow for movement, so significant restriction may indicate an incorrect size.

Fabric losing elasticity after a few uses

This can occur with improper care. Always rinse thoroughly after each use and avoid high heat drying or harsh chemicals. Hand washing and drying flat is recommended.

Discoloration after exposure to chlorine or sun

While resistant, prolonged extreme exposure can still affect color. Ensure proper rinsing after use and drying out of direct harsh sunlight can help maintain color vibrancy.
