This leads to cleaner oceans and swimwear that's good for your soul.

Is recycled nylon the same quality as regular nylon?

Yes, it is exactly the same. The quality of recycled nylon fabric is not compromised at all during the regeneration process. In fact, the nylon waste is recycled back to its original purity, which means it is exactly the same as virgin nylon.

Antioxidants are naturally occurring substances that can provide protection against the damaging effects of free radicals on skin cells.
