What is the Sheer Rating?

The Sheer Rating is an indicator of how transparent the garment becomes when wet. It works on a simple scale from 1 to 10. So, the lowest rating of 1 means that a garment is the least see-through, climbing up to 10 for the most see-through.

For example, Black is not a very transparent colour so black garments will have a low Sheer Rating. On the other hand, White becomes very transparent when wet so will usually have a high rating.

You can find this information in the Garment Care section of each swimwear product. We just like to let you know so that you don't end up showing off more than you intended during that pool party with the in-laws.
