I think the colour is on trend and although I've not tested this item in water and only tried it on because its for my holidays I feel its a good buy it feels nice and looks good and would recommend for that reason even though I've not tryed it in water as yet I like the way it can be used with or without straps also you can avoid tan lines right on trend I like that night put the amount of materials need in an item and you can get right sizes and lengths to fit all
