Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ Boyleg Swimsuit - Black - Size 8

LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ is a specialized fiber designed to resist damage from chlorine and sun creams, making swimwear last significantly longer – up to 10 times more than standard elastane swimsuits. This helps maintain the suit's shape, fit, and color.

Machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius using a mild detergent. It's crucial to rinse the swimsuit with fresh, cool water immediately after each use before washing to remove chlorine or salt.

No, it is not recommended to tumble dry. Always air dry your swimsuit by laying it flat in the shade. High heat from a dryer can damage the fabric and cause it to lose its shape and elasticity.

The swimsuit is made from 82% Recycled Nylon and 18% Lycra. The use of recycled nylon contributes to environmental sustainability.

This swimsuit offers excellent comfort, durability, and freedom of movement for regular swimming and training. While it's not a specialized racing suit, it is perfectly suitable for daily laps and general aquatic fitness activities where comfort and longevity are key.

The 'boyleg' style refers to the cut of the leg openings, which extend further down the thigh, resembling shorts. This provides more coverage and a secure fit compared to high-cut or standard leg openings, enhancing comfort and confidence.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. While the fabric is shape-retentive, it is not excessively stretchy. If the fit is uncomfortable, consider a different size, as swimwear fit is crucial for performance and comfort.

Verify that you are following the care instructions precisely, especially rinsing immediately after use and machine washing at 40 degrees without bleach or fabric softeners. Improper care, particularly exposure to high heat (e.g., tumble drying, hot tubs for extended periods without rinsing) or harsh chemicals, can degrade the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fibers.

Although the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber offers superior chlorine and UV resistance, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extremely high concentrations of chlorine without proper rinsing can still affect color over time. Always rinse thoroughly after use and dry in the shade.
