Benefits |
Fabric Used by Covertogs |
|
Italian Advanced Recycled Vita Xtra Life™ Lycra® |
Most technically advanced Italian Polyamide (78%) + Lycra (22%) mix for performance, smoothness, soft feel, and pilling resistance |
22% Lycra® |
High Lycra (elastine) content means the fabric is super stretchy and therefore great for being active in. The additional stretch also makes covertogs very forgiving, easily stretching over the bust, bottom and other bits. |
The Polyamide (nylon) component of the fabric is 100% recycled |
Almost 80% of the composition of the covertogs fabric is regenerated nylon fiber from post-consumer materials. This helps to reduce the environmental impact of covertogs swimwear |
High (UPF 50+) UV Protection |
Covertogs fabric provides excellent protection from the harmful effects of sun exposure |
Fast Drying |
Great to wear all day (no sitting round in damp and soggy smelly swimwear) |
190 grams per square meter (weight of fabric) |
Greater weight of fabric is more flattering, provides better concealment if needed |
Chlorine resistant |
Vita Lycra Xtra Life™ prevents breakage and fit loss 5 times longer than other chlorine-resistant elastines*
|
Sun Cream resistant |
Vita Lycra Xtra Life™ shows no sagging even when sun cream has been applied to it and the garment is left in chlorinated water for 10 days* |
Long-lasting |
Swimwear made with the fabric we use for covertogs lasts more than twice as long as traditional swimwear fabrics using the best competitor’s elastic fibres* |
Covertogs Styles |

More comfortable to wear than 1 piece (doesn’t pull up around the crotch area on tall women or sag for shorter women) Easier for toileting (you don’t have to completely undress to go to the toilet!)
