Swimwear Protest in bikini, one-piece or bra-style tops: the designs from a brand rooted in board sports, made for active use.
The swimwear Protest belongs to the family of brands stemming from board sports, alongside Roxy and Billabong. This origin steers the product towards active use rather than static bathing.
Three qualities take precedence over aesthetics. First is fit: the swimwear Protest needs to stay in place when the body moves, which means sturdy fastenings and covering cuts. Second is salt resistance, along with resistance to sand and rubbing from a board. Lastly, quick-drying is important since the swimwear is often worn under clothes at the end of the day.
Brasier-style tops and bikinis with crossover backs are the most stable for sports activities. One-pieces are suitable for longer sessions and reduce chafing. For typical beach use, the whole range works, with a sporty vibe evident in the cuts and colours.
Check the lining, essential for swimwear meant to be worn for long periods, and the sturdiness of the fastenings. For swimming in a pool several times a week, prefer a brand that clearly addresses chlorine resistance: this is not the main focus for board sport brands.
