Women's Bottom Turn Bralette Bikini Top

This athletic-style bikini top makes sense if you're serious about your watersports.

(It scores bonus points for good looks as well.)

Considered by many to be the most important maneuver in surfing, the bottom turn is the basis for everything else. Patagonia's Bottom Turn Bralette Bikini Top provides the most support in their lineup so you can confidently carve your bottom turn and head into the tube knowing it will stay put. Of course, this style works well for SUP yoga and beach volleyball, too. A flattering scoop neck keeps the straps off the back of your neck for high-performance comfort, while the pull-on, athletic, open racerback style offers a secure fit and excellent freedom of movement for your arms and upper body. The elastic straps will lie flat against your skin for less water resistance. Soft, removable, side-entry cups provide extra shape and comfort when needed. And on top of all that, fabric that incorporates as much recycled polyester as possible in order to lessen our dependence on petroleum as a raw material source and cause less air, water and soil contamination.

5.8oz. 83% recycled polyester/17% spandex jersey body fabric; 4oz. 88% nylon/12% spandex jersey lining. Fair Trade Certified™ sewn. Imported.

Fair Trade Certified™ Sewing

What makes a factory Fair Trade Certified? Rigorous standards for health and safety, respect for the environment, no child or forced labor, maternity and paid leave, community empowerment and additional money back to workers. Patagonia pays a premium for every Fair Trade Certified item that carries their label. That extra money goes directly back to the factory workers, and they decide how to spend it. They can allocate it as a cash bonus, use it for a collective social investment or both.
