Carlsbad, CA (PRWEB) April 08, 2015 -- prAna’s new collection of lightweight wetsuits and swim tights for women will keep swimmers, paddlers and surfers on the waves and in the water this spring and summer with flattering fits, sun protection, and stylish, colored seams.
“We wanted to create pieces that would appeal to anyone who gets in the water for fitness, to swim, surf, stand up paddle, snorkel or play—whatever gets you moving,” said Ellen Krimmel, prAna’s VP of design and merchandising. “This is real swimwear for real people, and definitely not your average wetsuit.”
The versatile line includes lightweight neoprene pieces that work together to provide 1–2mm of protection from the sun and cool water temperatures, while being thin enough to encourage movement and flexibility.
In keeping with prAna’s values, these wetsuits are made with blend that includes 55% recycled polyester as well as neoprene and spandex. prAna has thoughtfully included details like underarm gussets for easier paddling, UPF-rated sun protection, flattering seam lines with contrast flat-lock stitching for durability and flexibility, and hidden zippers and drawstrings for a perfect fit. This line includes:
• Mara Jacket: a full zip, long sleeve, fitted surf jacket
• Hydra Short: high-waisted bottoms that include gussets, colored seams, and car-key loop
• Azura Shortie: a 2mm, one-piece wetsuit with long sleeves, back-zip with stylish draw cord
• Ara Swim Tight: mid-length, retro high rise bottoms with gussets for added support in a flattering fit.
On warmer days, the prAna Rai Swim Tight takes style to the waves in a practical alternative to bikini bottoms or board shorts. The same wide waist band you love on our yoga tights provides support in the water, while an interior draw cord adds extra support.
