Mae Women's Sliding Triangle Swimsuit Top with Padded Cups - Black

YOU ARE A BEGINNER SURFER

You are learning to surf or surf only a few times a year, during your holidays or a surf trip. You stay where you can touch the bottom, in tiny waves or broken waves. You surf for the pleasure of being in the water and for the feeling you get from it. During your sessions, you often fall but you fall in waves that are not very powerful. We have designed a wide range of swimwear for you, to suit your occasional practice and your body shape.

Body shape

An essential component of a bikini swimsuit, the sliding triangle can be easily adapted to fit many different body shapes and is particularly suited to small and medium busts. It is very comfortable thanks to the neck and back ties, along with the sliding triangles at the front enabling you to cover up more or less of your bust. Thanks to its construction and the softness of its components, this swimsuit is very comfortable. With its removable padded cups, your bust is immediately enhanced.

STAYS IN PLACE IN THE WAVES: THE TEST

We design swimsuits that promise to stay in place in the waves. To test them, we use a panel of 12 female surfers with different body shapes who will follow a test protocol in a pool at our design offices in Hendaye. This protocol aims to reproduce the sensations experienced by surfers when being thrown around by a wave. If this test is conclusive, we go surfing in the sea to test our swimwear in real conditions.

What are padded cups?

Shaped cups built in to the swimsuit top are flattering for your bust and sculpt your breasts into a rounded shape without having visible seams and avoiding irritation as opposed to cut and stitched foam pads. Olaian has kept you and your comfort in mind by favouring the use of padded cups in most of its models.

The padded cups may be removable and, if so, they let you go up or down a half size.

This swimsuit features removable padded cups

The removable padded cups provide flexible sizing and therefore let you go up or down a half size.

Adjustable

The advantage of a sliding triangle is that you can adjust the coverage according to the size of your bust.

Lining

This bikini top is fully lined, making the swimsuit less see-through when wet.

Dry sizing and wet sizing

To ensure a perfect fit in the water, it is important to choose the right size while you are dry because once they are in the water, swimsuits become looser. We therefore recommend you buy the correct size. The swimsuit needs to fit snugly against your body in the fitting room, you should feel supported. The elastane contained in certain components used in the design of our swimsuits softens and relaxes in the water.

DO YOU WANT TO EXCHANGE YOUR SWIMSUIT?

Is the size or style not suitable for you? Would you like to exchange it at your Decathlon store? No problem, just be sure not to cut off the label of the swimsuit in case you want to exchange it.
