Why Summersalt’s New Activewear Is A Must-Add To Your Swim Collection This Summer

There's nothing like following up a hike with a dip in the lake or diving into the ocean post run. And, while in the past you would've likely needed to strip off your sweaty gear to slip into your swimsuit, thanks to Summersalt's new activewear collection, you can go from a workout to a refreshing swim without having to change. Even better? Everything in the collection rings in for under $100.

The sustainable, size-inclusive, and direct-to-consumer brand unveiled its new activewear styles on July 12. Designed for movement, the lineup includes leggings, tankini tops, shorts, and more in the brand's signature (and always sleek) color-block design. And if that addition alone didn't spark your interest, this fact might: Many of the pieces actually feature sun protection to keep your skin shielded while you enjoy time outdoors.

Most interested in the new bottoms? Lucky for you, there are three different styles you can choose from, starting with The Sun Shield Legging for $80. Perfect for a beach yoga session that ends with jumping in the ocean, this pair will match up nicely with The Beyond the Lounge Chair Tankini Top, $50. And yes, both pieces have UPF 50+ sun protection — so sunscreen fanatics will be able to rest a little easier throughout the day.

However, if you're looking to bare a little more leg, pull the $55 Beyond the Lounge Chair Skirt over your swimsuit as a chic cover-up. Or, opt for these stylish, sporty shorts, $65, that'll keep you comfortable in a kayak but also let you cool off in the water. Both of these styles are treated with Summersalt's sustainable The Shield™ technology, which filters UV waves and provides moisture and odor control.

Once you've decided what you need for your bottom half, consider pairing up your piece with a $95 sleek, high-neck swimsuit called The Surf, or catch a wave in The Longshore — a one-piece rash guard that's also priced at $95. As for tops? In addition to the tankini, you'll find two other silhouettes in the mix: The Sun Shield Rash Guard, $80, and The Sun Shield Swim Tunic for $65. These two styles will not only provide more coverage, but — you guessed it — sun protection, too.
