(as per the Australian government testing agency ARPANSA in accordance with Australian/New Zealand standard AS/NZS4399).We use a (non standard) high grade dye process to achieve a chlorine resistant, anti-color fading lycra to give maximum wear time for your garment.
 
Our fabric is high quality 20% spandex + 80%Nylon with high quality “Flat Lock” stitching for maximum comfort. This means the suits will be comfortable, kids will enjoy wearing them.
