Abstract
A bathing wear is made of a net-like knitted fabric printed with contrasting bright colors, composed of 73% nylon and 27% of a polyurethane elastomer. The knitted fabric has a multiplicity of hexagonal mesh openings, which are aligned in rows in three directions. This bathing wear allows about two-thirds of the incident UV radiation of the sun to pass and thus gives rise to full body tanning, without being transparent however even when wet. In addition, the bathing wear is quick-drying and fits the body elastically.
