Women's Swim Leggings with UPF 50+ Sun Protection

Stay covered in and out of the water. Solbari’s swim leggings are designed for women seeking reliable leg coverage for swimming, beach days and water sports. Ultraviolet radiation can reach shallow water and reflect from the surface, leaving legs exposed. Women’s swim leggings provide coverage for the skin they cover, while sunscreen remains important on exposed skin as part of a complete sun protection routine.

The Swim Leggings UPF 50+ use Swim Resort fabric, which is chlorine- and saltwater-resistant, lightweight, breathable and made with four-way stretch. They have a secure drawstring waist, a small internal pocket and a comfortable fit for activities in and out of the water.

Solbari UPF 50+ fabric helps block at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays through the fabric, helping protect covered skin from ultraviolet exposure.

Leggings built for the water

Solbari swimming leggings for women are designed for use in water and can also be worn for walking, running and jogging on land. Made from chlorine- and saltwater-resistant Swim Resort fabric, they are lightweight, quick-drying, breathable and rated UPF 50+.

Regular leggings are not made for swimming. They can absorb water, become heavy and lose shape. In contrast, Solbari’s four-way stretch swim fabric moves comfortably with the body in the water and dries quickly once out.

This style transitions easily from water to land, making it practical for swimming, snorkelling and beachside wear.

Why legs need sun protection in the water

Ultraviolet exposure continues in the water. UV rays can reach shallow water, while reflection from the surface can add to exposure. This means legs can remain exposed during swimming and wading.

Sunscreen on the legs can wash off during swimming and needs to be reapplied as directed. Swimming leggings that many women prefer provide consistent coverage for the skin under the fabric throughout the session. Continue to use sunscreen on exposed skin.

Solbari fabrics are independently tested and rated UPF 50+. The fabric helps block at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays through the fabric, helping protect covered skin from ultraviolet exposure. Product performance can be affected by fit, stretching, wear, garment condition and care.
