The collection pairs chic 90s swimwear styling with breathable, UPF50+ fabric for high-performance sun protection. In total. there are three different protective garments to choose from: a sleeveless swimsuit, a long-sleeved rashguard swimsuit, and a long-sleeved rashguard top. As Georgiana Huddart, co-founder of Hunza G, says of the new collection, "We created the [UPF 50+](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watskin) collection for people who want to enjoy the sun and outdoors without having to worry constantly about reapplying sunscreen... It’s all about being comfortable, confident, and ready to move — but with a sportier edge."
