Patagonia Bibiana Tankini

Patagonia offers us a tankini that's made for action with the Bibiana.

While most tankinis work only to hide the lumps and bumps of self conscious beach goers, this one has business in mind. Its racerback cut gives you unrestricted movement through the water, while the built-in shelf support is like wearing a sports bra! The blend of nylon and spandex is also flexible, not to mention comfortable and quick to dry once you emerge from the waves. That makes this tankini ideal for athletic types that take their time on the beach seriously.

Sporty clothes often forget about style, but that's not the case here. The Bibiana is available in five different prints, including my favorite, the hippie ombre amaranth stripe. The full length coverage is also very flattering for girls of all body shapes, and protective to boot. However it's worth noting that this tankini isn't UPF certified, so you may want to slather on the sunscreen just to be sure.

The Bibiana is affordable as tankinis go at $59, which may make you question its quality. You needn't bother though, as Patagonia stands by its product with a lifetime guarantee. That sort of promise is rare in the world of fashion, especially at this price point.
