The traditional materials of sports swimsuits for women
Most swimsuits are made in a blend of polyamide and elastane. These materials provide elasticity, making the swimsuit comfortable and easy to put on. However, elastane resists very poorly to chlorine and deforms quickly.
In recent years, the sports swimsuit has evolved. It is now designed in polyester and polybutylene (PBT). Less elastic and longer to dry, the main advantage of this material is its high resistance to chlorine.
