Tan Through Swim Hipsters for Men, Large

Cooltan Men's Tan Through Swim Hipsters allow you to get an all-over, even tan right through the fabric! These swim shorts feature an elastic waist, front liner, and high-stretch fabric that dries quickly, making them great for travel. Made in the USA, the unique patent-pending fabric used in Cooltan tan-through swimwear is crafted with a special knitting technology that creates millions of tiny pores. These pores allow approximately half of the sun's light to pass through to your skin, providing a medium level of sun protection, similar to a moderate sunscreen.

The porous nature of the fabric allows your skin to breathe, keeping you cool by allowing perspiration to evaporate quickly. Cooltan swimsuits dry rapidly, both when you wear them and after washing, making them an excellent choice for travel. To achieve an even, all-over tan, it is recommended to use an SPF lotion of 6 to 10 (or higher as needed) on any skin not covered by the suit, and to also apply an SPF 30 sunscreen for a more uniform tan.

While the Cooltan fabric is not completely see-through when worn, it is quite thin due to the tiny holes that allow the sun to penetrate. The level of transparency may vary from person to person. It is important to note that the fabric provides a medium level of sun protection, and it is possible to still get sunburned while wearing it. Users should exercise caution and gradually increase their sun exposure until they have developed a base tan.

The Cooltan suits are made entirely in the USA, from the fabric to the final product. The sizes are true to standard, so customers can order their regular shorts/pants size. The fabric is soft, smooth, and comfortable to wear, with the porous design allowing your skin to breathe and staying cool.

In terms of health benefits, tanning can help increase your Vitamin D levels, which is important for healthy teeth and bones, as well as mineral metabolism and immune function. Tanning may also improve certain skin conditions, such as acne, psoriasis, or eczema, and can potentially provide relief for those suffering from rheumatism or arthritis.

The Cooltan suits are durable and suitable for water sports. The fabric is highly resistant to pool chemicals and ocean salt, and the porous design prevents water from building up inside the suit, which is advantageous for competitive swimmers. However, it is important to note that when wearing the suits in a tanning salon, the SPF level of the fabric can range from 2 to 20, depending on the type of lamps used and their placement. Users should start with limited exposure to determine their results.

For care, Cooltan Tan-Through suits are fully machine washable, but should be hung to dry or laid flat, rather than machine dried.
