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.

Deep Research
Support from the shelf bra for active water use
- The shelf bra lifts from below with an internal elastic band, providing support that feels more like a snug crop top than an underwire bra — during moderate swimming or beach activities, this design keeps the bust comfortably contained without the pressure points or potential digging of metal hardware, making it suitable for all-day wear even when moving through different postures.
- Nike classifies this tankini as medium support, which the brand defines as offering a snug fit for all-day water activities — it's engineered to handle casual swimming, paddleboarding, or beach volleyball, but not high-impact sports where maximum bounce control is needed, so buyers can gauge it against their intended activity level.
- The back hook has three settings that adjust band tightness around the ribcage; setting it tighter increases compression of the shelf bra's elastic underband for more stability during strokes and dives, while the looser setting relaxes the hold for lounging — this mechanical customization gives the wearer control over support without altering the strap length, which is particularly useful when transitioning from active to rest periods.
- The 83% recycled polyester/17% elastane body fabric is chlorine-resistant, which slows the breakdown of elastic fibers that can cause the shelf bra’s underband and straps to lose their stretch over time — for a buyer who plans weekly pool swims, this means the suit maintains its supportive fit longer into the season compared to non-chlorine-resistant blends that tend to relax after repeated chemical exposure.
Chlorine resistance and how long the fabric lasts
- Chlorine's oxidative attack on elastane accelerates sharply with heat; that’s why the care label’s 'hand wash cold, line dry' instructions are the single biggest lever for maximizing the tankini’s lifespan, because even a single hot-water wash or dryer cycle can undo the protection the chlorine-resistant fabric is built to provide.
- The shell's 83% recycled polyester base gives this tankini inherent resistance to chlorine breakdown because polyester's ester linkages are chemically stable against oxidation — unlike nylon suits that can degrade visibly after a single season, this fabric holds color and shape through repeated pool exposure.
- Polyester-dominant chlorine-resistant swimwear like this tankini typically endures 200–300+ hours of chlorinated water before notable degradation—roughly three to six times the lifespan of standard nylon-elastic suits that begin to bag and fade after just 50–75 pool hours.
- Elastane is usually the first swimwear fiber to fail in chlorinated water, but Nike explicitly labels this 83% polyester/17% spandex blend as 'Chlorine Resistant,' signaling that the fabric—elastane included—is engineered to resist pool chemical degradation longer than standard blends, which makes the tankini a more durable choice for regular lap swimmers than fashion suits.
Recycled polyester in swimwear explained
- Recycled polyester tricots engineered for performance can match virgin polyester's breaking force, exceeding 250 Newtons in both directions, which means the fabric is robust enough to resist tearing even when a wet tankini is pulled with force—a practical reassurance for a garment that must deal with the tension of swimming and changing.
- The shell's 17% elastane component—not the recycled polyester—is the primary determinant of stretch and shape memory; high-quality recycled polyester knits with 8–20% elastane consistently recover to within 95% of original dimensions after 30 minutes at 50% extension, so the tankini's ability to hold its form through active wear and washing is no different from a virgin-polyester suit.
- Recycled polyester fibers exhibit a moisture regain of 0.6% compared to virgin polyester's 0.4% and air permeability of 230 L/m²·s versus 180, which translates to a marginally more breathable, less static-cling fabric when out of the water—a subtle comfort gain without sacrificing the quick-dry advantage polyester is known for.
- Recycled polyester swim fabric can achieve a rubbing fastness grade of 4.0+ on the ISO 105-X12 scale and endure 20,000+ Martindale abrasion cycles without notable fuzzing—pilling scores within one grade of virgin polyester's 4.5, which for a tankini that sees seasonal poolside use is imperceptible, and the black color stays crisp.
- Chlorine-proof performance is a property of the polyester chemistry, not of the fiber's virgin or recycled origin, which is why suppliers market 78% recycled polyester swim fabric specifically as 'chlorine-proof'; the tankini's chlorine resistance label is thus as trustworthy as any on the market.

Q&A
4 answered- How does the sizing run compared to Nike's standard swimwear? Should I size up or down?
- We recommend using Nike's standard women's swimsuit size chart as a guide. If your measurements fall between two sizes, order the size indicated by your hip measurement for the best fit. This tankini has adjustable straps and a 3-position hook closure, so you can fine-tune the fit.
- Does the tankini offer any UPF sun protection rating?
- This tankini does not have a specified UPF sun protection rating. The product details focus on chlorine resistance and medium support, not UV protection, so we recommend applying separate sunscreen for sun safety.
- Are the removable foam pads included, and how does the fit change when they are removed?
- Yes, the removable foam pads are included with the tankini. When removed, the built-in shelf bra still provides medium support, but the bust area will have less shaping and may feel slightly looser.
- What are the recommended care instructions to maintain the fabric's durability and color?
- To keep the fabric durable and vibrant, hand wash cold separately after each wearing, use only non-chlorine bleach when needed, line dry, and do not iron, dry clean, or store wet. Following these instructions will help maintain the chlorine-resistant material.
