Solve Your Swimwear Fabric Problems:What kinds of fabric is Best Choice for Rashguard, Competitive Swimwear & Boardshorts
1. Fabric Problems: What Kinds Of Troubles Fabric Buyers Have Today?
When making garments for ocean surfing, pool training, or beach swim, you definitely can’t get around these real fabric headaches:
For Rash Guard, Surf Shirt & Dive Skin: Normal stretch fabric is easy to wears out in seawater. Surfboard rub, salt water, and sharp coral reef will contribute fabric pilling, ripping, and lose sun protection as the wearing time goes on.
For Sun Protection Swimwear: When you want to design Full Coverage Swimsuit and Long Sleeve Bikini, but low‑performance fabric becomes see‑through after wet, and it turns very loose‑fitting after stretching.
For Competitive Swimwear & Training Suit: Pool chlorine is a big killer for spandex. After just a few weeks of pool training, regular standard Pro Athletic Swimsuit might turns loose, faded, and out of shape.
For Boardshorts & Swim Trunks: Hard non‑stretch fabric locks body movement. Water stays inside for hours, making sports very uncomfortable.
