Lifeguard Uniforms and Apparel: Decades of Innovation

Lifeguard Uniforms and Apparel: Decades of Innovation

Watermen Brand Lifeguard Uniforms and Apparel – Decades of Innovation

Watermen Brand is proud of the past few decades spent innovating and refining quality lifeguard uniforms and apparel. They key to our success is quality and feedback. Our lifeguard uniforms and apparel have always been made from the highest quality fabric and materials in the industry. If you have worn Watermen Brand apparel, you know what we are talking about. Year after year, we thrive on the feedback from our customers, most of which are life-saving professionals, using our gear day in and day out. This priceless feedback, combined with our innovative approach, allows us to refine and perfect our products.

Lifeguard Apparel has changed over the years, with the advent of new materials and technology. From 4-way stretch fabric, to antimicrobial / moisture wicking liners, lifeguard shorts and suits are better than they have ever been. In addition to materials, ‘patterns and design’ have modernized the industry, allowing more flexibility and range of movement. However, not all lifeguard clothing stores have invested in this approach, rather, they have focused on the bottom line and overall cost. Here, at Watermen Brand, our mission is not to provide the cheapest product on the market. Rather, we have championed the new wave of materials and design, leading with quality first.

Modern Lifeguard Uniforms and Apparel

For example, our Maverick Men’s Lifeguard Short and our Men’s Rincon Stretch Lifeguard Short embody years of feedback and innovation. Both shorts come with modern, 4 way stretch fabric and antimicrobial Cool-Plus liners. These features combined, allow lifeguards to enjoy rash-free flexibility and support.

Avoid chafing with ‘rash free’ Boardshorts and Trunks

Avoid chafing with ‘rash free’ Boardshorts and Trunks

No Chafe. Rash Free Boardshorts & Trunks

The chafing must stop. It has to! BUT, do ‘rash free’ boardshorts and trunks exist? Has someone addressed this issue and designed a pair of shorts that are meant to be worn all day, and reduce or eliminate the chafe and rash?

The average swimsuit is comfortable for a swim or two, but after repeated use, the chafing can be unbearable. Especially in salt water. Add any running to your routine, and you have yourself a disaster. Ask any lifeguard or aquatic sports enthusiast who spends day after day in the water. The rash and chafing can be so irritating, you become desperate for a solution.

We can’t tell you all the secrets, but we can tell you about our Watermen boardshorts and trunks with built in liners. When you take a high quality pair of trunks or boardshorts and add a high quality liner, the outcome is very comfortable. Not to mention, these shorts have been tested and redesigned over decades to perfect every aspect, from seams to pocket placement. If you cant tell, we obviously have some passion behind creating the best possible pair of shorts. We love doing this!

Rash Free Boardshorts and Trunks for Lifeguards and Aquatic Sports

For daily use and especially aquatic sports, the shorts must provide flexibility, and avoid friction at all costs. At Watermen, this is our specialty. Over the decades, we have worked with lifeguards, medics, and watermen of all types to create trunks and boardshorts that are virtually rash-free. For an occupation like lifeguarding, the quality is unparalleled. After running up and down the beach all day, in and out of the water, the average pair of swim trunks or board shorts will have you doubled over in pain or taking wide steps to avoid any more chafing. Thankfully, this can be avoided.

We combine premium quality shorts with liners of the highest quality fabric to produce the perfect pair of shorts. The ‘Cool-Plus’ liner in our Rincon Stretch short provides superior comfort and support.

 

It is all about a high quality, no chafe liner:

The Watermen rash free boardshorts and trunks have a moisture wicking, antimicrobial liner which is designed to reduce any friction or chafing and provide extra support and comfort. Both the trunks and liner are made from ‘top of the line’ rapid drying, lightweight materials.  

Have you ever wanted a pair of shorts you can swim in, sleep in, run in, and workout in? Well, we have for decades! The whole idea that started this brand in the first place, was to build a pair of trunks capable of 50 hour work weeks, wet or dry, always comfortable – and most importantly, no chafe.

What is the best fabric for chlorine resistant swimwear?

What is the best fabric for chlorine resistant swimwear?

First, let’s acknowledge the difference between swimwear needed for the beach and swimwear needed for pools. Pools are often treated with chlorine and other chemicals to maintain a hygienic environment. Unfortunately, chlorine causes most swimwear to fade and break down quickly. However, a few fabrics resist chlorine and these chemicals pretty well. Overall, the best fabrics for swimwear and swimsuits used at pools, waterparks, or other chlorinated environments are often found as a blend of two or three fabrics. Before we discuss which fabric is best, we can definitely say it is not nylon. Nylon has positive qualities when not being used in chlorine, BUT the reaction it has with chlorine causes most nylon based fabrics to break down quickly. If you want a chlorine resistant bathing suit or shorts, it is best to avoid nylon based swimwear.

So, which fabrics are the best for repeated use in chlorine?

1. Polyester:

Polyester is a durable synthetic fabric that has shown the most resilience to chlorine. It is typically combined with other fabrics to create a more durable and flexible blend, for a variety of applications. Polyester is hands down, the most common and the best fabric for swimwear used in chlorine. For more details on Polyester, we like these pages: Polyester Fabric & Polyester Details

2. Spandex / Elastane

Spandex and Elastane are the most preferred fabrics to blend with Polyester for use in chlorine. Elastane and Spandex are the same thing, but you might hear them referred to separately or in place of each other, but both names refer to the exact same fabric. By itself, spandex / elastane is not recommended for repeated use in chlorine, but does not decrease the integrity of Polyester when blended together. Fore more insight into the composition of spandex, check this page out: Spandex Fabric

Best fabric for chlorine resistant swimwear:

The simple answer is Polyester. Polyester by itself has excellent durability and withstands chlorine best. However, Polyester has varying qualities depending on the construction and the source. Simply put, a higher quality polyester lasts longer in chlorine. Not all Polyesters are equal. Check with your swimwear provider to find out which Polyester they use, and if they have a fabric that has undergone chlorine testing or has been rated for repeated chlorine use. Chances are, if they source a polyester fabric that is constructed of higher quality materials, they are paying a higher premium and the price of the swimwear will reflect this, and last much longer. Some swimwear and apparel manufacturers have proprietary sources of fabric that separate them from competition. Once again, not all Polyesters are equal, but simply put, Polyester is the best material for chlorine resistant swimsuits, swimwear, and apparel. 

 

Polyester Blend for comfort and flexibility:

While it is true that Polyester is the best for chlorine, it may not be the most desirable for creating a flexible and comfortable swim suit or pair of shorts. As we mentioned above, Polyester is often blended with Spandex. Spandex(elastane) is known for its flexibility and stretch, so it is often blended with Polyester to create an equally durable and flexible fabric that is the best quality for use in chlorine. 

The ratio of Polyester to Spandex is also important. Although Spandex is a chlorine resistant material, the Polyester is typically much stronger in chlorine, so a Polyester dominant blend is preferred. For example, anything with 85% or more Polyester is a good place to start. High quality blends of fabric design for repeated chlorine use will usually be around 90% polyester and 10% spandex.

Here at Watermen Brand, we have spent years sourcing the most chlorine resistant fabric for our swimwear and swim suits. Over the past two decades, our clients and customers have helped us with their feedback to create a line of swimwear that lasts multiple seasons under daily chlorine use. Our high quality polyester and spandex blend is rated for daily use in pools, water parks, and any other chlorinated environments. These two top selling shorts and rash guard are quality tested and produced with chlorine in mind:
