Does a burkini cling to the body when you get out of the water?

No. The ZAÏA burkini uses a hydrophobic Italian technical fabric that repels water and dries fast, and its relaxed fit leaves space between the fabric and the skin. The set keeps its shape and its modesty as you leave the water, without tracing the body.

Why some swim fabrics cling

Thin or cotton-based fabrics absorb water: they get heavier, stick to the skin and can turn almost see-through. This is the number one reason many women avoid swimming altogether — and it is a fabric and cut problem, not something a larger size can fix.

What is different about the ZAÏA fabric

The fabric is built for swimming: it repels water instead of soaking it up, stays opaque when wet and springs back into shape immediately. Add a relaxed fit that does not sit against the body, and coverage stays the same in and out of the water.

Quick drying

Because the fabric never saturates, it dries in very little time. In practice: you can leave the sea and go straight to lunch, with no long wait and no heavy, cold feeling.

A practical tip

Shake off the excess water by hand as you come out, then walk for a few minutes — the fabric regains its drape quickly. Avoid wringing it, which would damage the stretch.
