Sustainability and Product Care
The Nefyn Top is a bikini swimming top for invigorating dips, ice-cold plunges and shorter swims when you don’t want to wear a wetsuit.
- Made with ECONYL®, a yarn made from recycled ocean plastics
- Two-piece style and rear clasp opening for easy changing
- Secure straps and a lined stretch fabric for a supportive fit
The Nefyn's high performance stretch fabric retains its streamlined shape when wet and is also lined to provide plenty of support. The secure shoulder straps are specifically designed to stay in place when swimming, no matter how vigorous your stroke.
The two piece style and clasp back make the Nefyn top easy to change in and out of at the waterside. This particularly useful if your window for discreet changing is limited! It can be paired with the Nefyn bottom or you can mix and match with your existing swimewear.
The Nefyn top is a non-padded design for faster drying and the ECONYL® fabric is both sun cream and chlorine-resistant.

Sustainability
How It Is Made
Recycled MaterialsECONYL® is a high performance nylon yarn made from recycled ocean plastics, disused fishing nets and landfill waste. After capturing this waste, the nylon is broken down and reformed into new fibres that are chemically identical to brand new nylon. As well as reducing emissions by 90%, it can be recycled infinitely – infinitely!

Reducing our carbon footprint
We are carbon neutral under PAS2060 and offset our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 operations and transport emissions. We recognise that offsetting is not part of the solution but a point to pass through on a journey to Net Zero. Carbon Neutral is just a step in that journey.
We have joined the Science Based Targets Initiative which sets independent targets for us to achieve to do our bit to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Our targets are to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 based on 2018 base year and reduce our total carbon intesnity by 15% every year to achieve genuine net zero by 2050.
