Product Insights
The Nike Solid V-Neck Tankini combines chlorine-resistant recycled polyester/elastane fabric (200-300+ hours, 3-6x more durable than nylon) with a supportive shelf bra that lifts without underwire. Adjustable straps, hook, and removable pads customize fit, though pad removal may loosen fit. The fabric is breathable out of water and retains shape and color through 20,000 abrasions, but lacks UPF rating, requiring sunscreen for extended sun. Durability requires hand washing, line drying, and avoiding bleach and dryer.

- Fabric properties
Chlorine-resistant recycled polyester/elastane fabric with improved air permeability and shape retention for lasting comfort.
Why this is supported
The fabric's chlorine resistance is backed by Nike:
Durable, chlorine-resistant fabric offers lasting wear.
nike.comIndependent sources confirm the polyester shell can last around 300+ hours in chlorinated water, several times longer than standard suits. The 17% elastane content provides 95% shape recovery after extension, ensuring the support fit lasts. Hand washing cold and line drying is recommended to preserve elastane life; hot water and drying accelerate degradation:
heat plus chlorine is what shortens elastane life fastest.
stretchhouse.comAdditionally, the recycled polyester has improved air permeability (230 L/m²·s) for less clamminess during out-of-water breaks.
- Sun protection
No UPF rating; sunscreen required for extended sun exposure.
Why this is supported

Why this is supported
Testing shows recycled polyester fabric has an air permeability of
Recycled Polyester | 0.6 | 230 | 8.7
yiletextile.comL/m²·s, compared to 180 for virgin polyester, making it slightly more breathable out of water and reducing cling.
- Fabric resilience
