| Material Origin | Recycled polyester & elastane | Virgin polyester |

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is recycled polyester good for athletic crop tops?
- Yes. Recycled polyester retains the moisture-wicking and quick-dry properties of virgin polyester while reducing carbon footprint. The 25% elastane blend in this top adds four-way stretch suitable for yoga, swimming, and HIIT training.
- Can I wear this crop top for swimming?
- Yes. The recycled polyester-elastane construction is chlorine-resistant and fast-drying, making it appropriate for pool and open-water use. The UPF 50+ rating provides additional sun protection for outdoor swimming.
- How does UPF 50+ compare to a regular long-sleeve top for outdoor sports?
- A UPF 50+ garment blocks ≥98% of UV radiation versus approximately 20–30% for an untreated white cotton shirt (rated UPF 5–10). For outdoor running, hiking, or water sports, the difference in cumulative UV exposure is significant over a multi-hour session.
- What makes this crop top eco-friendly?
- The fabric uses recycled polyester derived from post-consumer plastic bottles, reducing reliance on virgin petroleum-based fibres. The made-to-order production model eliminates unsold inventory waste common in fast-fashion manufacturing.
- Does the fabric feel tight?
- The elastane content gives this top a compressive fit. Customer consensus recommends sizing up if you are between sizes or prefer a relaxed feel. The double-layered waistband is designed to stay in place without digging in.
