Free Fly Swimwear

Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes Free Fly's Wavebound swimwear different from other swimsuits?

  Free Fly's Wavebound collection uses TideKnit fabric made from recycled fishing nets and combines UPF 50+ sun protection with 4‑way stretch, quick‑dry performance, and a chafe‑free seamless construction. Designed with pro surfers, freedivers, and longboarders, the styles include an inner liner and a mid‑rise fit engineered to stay put in the waves while remaining comfortable all day.
• What materials and sustainability features are in Free Fly swimwear?

  Wavebound pieces are constructed from TideKnit: roughly 80% recycled nylon and 20% recycled elastane, with linings around 87% recycled nylon and 13% spandex. The fabric is made from recycled fishing nets, is chlorine‑ and salt‑water friendly, and reflects Free Fly’s focus on sustainable, performance‑oriented materials.
• How does Wavebound compare to traditional nylon/spandex swim fabrics?

  Compared with conventional nylon/spandex blends, Wavebound’s TideKnit emphasizes recycled content and durability from reclaimed fishing nets while maintaining 4‑way stretch and quick‑dry properties. It also offers UPF 50+ protection and seamless, chafe‑free construction aimed at higher‑movement water sports where staying put and comfort matter.
• How should I size Free Fly swimwear and what fit can I expect?

  Free Fly swim styles have a mid‑rise, versatile fit that suits a range of body types; women’s sizing runs roughly XS (0–2) through XXL (12–14+). If you’re between sizes, size up for more coverage and comfort—seamless construction and the inner liner provide stable support during active use.
• Which Free Fly swim styles are best for surfing versus poolside or beach volleyball?

  For surfing and active water sports, choose Wavebound styles engineered to stay put in the waves with 4‑way stretch and chafe‑free seams that move with you. For poolside, beach volleyball, or casual wear, the same mid‑rise, quick‑dry designs and UPF 50+ protection offer comfort, sun safety, and easy transition from water to land.
