Do your tops/one-pieces have padding?

+

Our suits are made from our Smoothing Dream Fabric™ and are lined for privacy - so while the seamless construction does not allow for cups or inserts, the correct fit should have you feeling comfortably compressed, providing great coverage, and of course an amazing fit.

How do I remove the hygiene sticker?

+

If the hygiene sticker leaves a residue after removing, we've got you! This can happen sometimes from humidity due to transport conditions. You can use a bit of rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad or a damp cloth and rub against the residue to remove. Follow-up with a rinse in cold water and then a machine wash (on cold, with like fabrics). This is a safe remedy and won't impact the integrity of the fabric/garment. If you have any issues with this, please reach out to our team and we'll help you out.

What is the best way to care for my LOF suit?

+

Easy - machine wash, cold water and line dry. Avoid drying your suit in direct sunlight. If you’re in a rush to catch the next wave, our suits are dryer friendly. We recommend washing suits post activity to prolong the life/colour/fit of the suit.

If you're swimming in a pool or hot tub, get your suit wet before jumping in! Chlorine clings to dry suits so getting it wet with fresh water ahead of time will help preserve the fabric. When you're done swimming your laps, rinse immediately and follow-up with a good wash in the machine.

How many laps will my LOF suit last?

+

Lots. Just take care of it. That means machine washing it straight away after every chlorine/pool swim and hanging it to dry. Chlorine is hard on lycra and limits the life of any suit #facts. Chlorine also clings to dry suits, so getting your suit wet with fresh water before diving in can help preserve the fabric. Do your best to not let your suit sit in a locker or swim bag for more than a few hours. Listen, if you swim 3 plus times a week (good on you) - it will last a few months. Given the impact chlorine naturally has on lycra, this is unavoidable.

Keep whites white

+

Just like other whites ... wash whites with whites to keep them bright. Also, colour migration is real, so don't let whites sit wet with other colours.

Can I wear sunscreen with my suit?

+

Yes and we hope you do – sun protection is important! If you get sunscreen on your suit, machine wash it. If for some reason it doesn’t come out, try soaking your suit in a mix of water + baking soda, then machine wash, this should do the trick.

*Hot tip, our fabric mill let us know that sunscreens that are oil-based have a high chance of staining - all fabric, including LOF suits. This is why it's important to wash your suits after each wear.

Where are LOF suits designed and manufactured?

+

LOF suits are designed in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and produced in California and Taiwan with Italian fabric.

What is your stance on sustainability?

+

Great question. Fewer, better quality, very dependable products is what we stand for and create. We make the suit that works for all your needs, literally from surfing all day to happy hour and is engineered to be long-lasting. We think if you can depend on one suit for sun, fun, and sweat, rather than tons of cheap disposable swimsuits, then the environment is better off. We also use recyclable packaging and yell at people that don’t recycle.

What size is my girlfriend?

+

We’re not sure either, but you can email us and we'll do our best to get her into the right size. Alternatively, give her a gift card and let her choose.
