UPF 50+ high quality Italian Polyester and PBT (Polybutylene terephthalate) blend stocked in solid colours. An Elastane free fabric that’s ideal for high performance and club swimwear, or any garment which is exposed to high levels of Chlorine thanks to its 100% Chlorine resistance. This fabric has a 2 way stretch and its soft feel and perfect wearability also make it the right choice for performance swimwear. Aqualife is designed for multiple uses in swimming, water sports, cycling and running. This exceptional new age fabric offers a breakthrough in Chlorine proof swimwear, through providing the ultimate Chlorine resistance without compromising on elasticity and wearability. It also guarantees excellent protection from UV rays. It is perfectly suited for water sports as it dries quickly, is pleasant to wear, and prolonged contact with Chlorine does not cause Aqualife to lose its elasticity, which frequently occurs in classic Elastane fabrics.

Composition: 47% Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), 53% Polyester
Weight: 170gsm +/- 5%
