| 1. How does the Tan Thru swimwear work? |
| Solar Tan Thru's unique patented fabric is made by using a special knitting technology which creates thousands of tine pores in the fabric. These pores act as a shade cloth, and filter approximately half the sun's light. This filtering process is comparable to SPF between 5 and 10 depending on skin type, time of day, and UV index. |
| 2. Is it possible to sunburn through the swimwear? |
| It would take a rather prolonged exposure on a mid-summer day to get a sunburn. The key to adding a little color to your like is moderation. Overexposure to the sun will not help you achieve a tan any faster and of course is not recommended. |
| 3. What other advantages does the fabric offer? |
| Solar Tan Thru's proprietary blend of materials produce a fabric guaranteed not to run or snag even on rough surfaces or Velcro®. Extremely fast drying. Light, airy fabric allows skin to breathe. Try one and see for yourself! |
| 4. Where is solar tan thru swimwear made? |
| First, the fabric is knit in Germany. It's then printed in Italy, and returned to Germany or Czech Republic to be constructed. |
| 5. Is your tan thru swimwear lined? |
| Yes. The men's and women's front panel on bottoms are lined in nylon. However, the remainder of the suit is not lined in order to allow the UV rays to penetrate through the fabric. |
| 6. Are the sized true to form? |
| Yes, the suit is made of 4-way stretch Spandex®. You should order your exact size. It is important to understand that the suit should fit snugly such that the pores of the fabric are "stretched and open" for UV rays to penetrate. |
| 7. Does the tan thru material dry quickly? |
Tan thru swimwear dries extremely quickly. Due to the open pores in the fabric, evaporation occurs at twice the rate of standard spandex. |
|
| 8. Is your swimwear offered in solid colors? |
No. We only use solid colors in Tan Thru Fabric as accent splices, as the fabric must be printed to be opaque to the eye. |
| 9. Does the swimwear come with tanning instructions? |
| Yes, each suit comes with complete tanning instructions to help you safely and quickly get that all-over tan! |
| 10. What kind of fabric is the tan thru swimwear made from? |
The tan thru swimwear fabric content consists of 68% nylon and 32% Spandex®. No chemicals or other treatments are applied to the fabric to induce tanning. Garment care is the same as with a traditional swimsuit. |
| 11. Can the swimwear be worn in a tanning salon? |
| Yes. UV tanning rays will penetrate the tan thru fabric while in a tanning bed. SPF levels of the suite will tend to be lower due to multiple tanning lamps rather than a single source (the sun) outdoor. SPF levels range from 2 to 6 depending on the type of tanning bed used. |
| 12. Can you use tan thru swimwear for water sports? |
Yes. This solar tan thru swimwearis a full-function suit. Due to the suit's extremely high Spandex® content (32%) the suit has twice the flexibility of movement compared to a traditional lycra spandex swimsuit. Also, due to pores in the fabric, water will not 'dam' inside the suit. This can be important for competitive swimmers. |
| 13. Is the fabric comfortable to wear? |
|
Yes. Due to its 32% Spandex® content, it is a very comfortable fabric to wear. Also, due to the pores in the fabric, it allows the skin to 'breathe'-- letting perspiration evaporate quickly. The fabric is 'skin friendly.'
