Water Resistance | Pool swimming, water sports | 30-minute water resistance (AATCC 127) ▲ vs industry’s 15 minutes | Longer wear time without saturation (ideal for marathon swimming) | Reduced breathability during intense activity |
Eco-Friendly Features | Sustainable fashion, eco-conscious wear | EPR_France_Textiles compliant (recyclable materials) | Meets EU environmental regulations (▲ vs non-certified competitors) | Limited color options due to eco-friendly dyeing processes |
Durability | Children’s swimwear, frequent use | Tear-resistant (ASTM D5034) + flame retardant (NFPA 701) | Safer for kids (reduces fire risk in childcare settings) | Heavier fabric may feel less airy compared to lightweight alternatives |
Moisture Management | Fitness swimming, triathlon | Quick-dry (AATCC TM 198) + moisture-wicking (ISO 11092) | Dries 40% faster than standard fabrics (▲▲ vs industry norms) | May pill slightly after repeated machine washing |
Thermal Regulation | Cold-water activities, winter swimming | Breathable (ASTM D737 airflow 150 CFM) + blackout lining | Maintains warmth without overheating (ideal for open-water swimming) | Blackout lining may reduce UV protection effectiveness |
Customization Options | Fashion accessories, bespoke swimwear | Jacquard weave + yarn-dyed patterns (ISO 13934-2) | Supports intricate designs (e.g., custom logos) ▲▲ vs plain-weave fabrics | Higher cost for bespoke orders compared to mass-produced alternatives |
