FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
What is the difference between the different women styles ?
All three models have the same shape and features (full lining, reinforced stitches, regenerated high-grade Nylon, 190 GSM x2), the main differences are on how the back is constructed.
The VALKYRIE model has a fixed back strap and will usually have a better hold on your body. This model would be for people who are looking for a comfortable and secure swimwear for their trainings. The fit is a all-arround and will fit all body types thanks to its secure back strap.
The ASHLEY on the other hand have a laced back that you can adjust. The laces are thinner than the back strap of the VALKYRIE, leaving a more open back, and is often perceived as more aestheticly pleasing. As for the fit, the Ashley is similar to the Valkyrie and is all-arround and will fit most body types.
To finish, the LEENA has the same construction as the ASHLEY with a laced back. The only difference is that the back is even more open than the ASHLEY as we cutted a little bit more fabric from the bum on the back, to give it an overall sharper shape. It will fit most body types but will look better on thinnier body types.
If you need more informations or I wasn’t too clear, do not hesitate to send us a message here on Kickstarter or to hoan@sharkrebellion.com
can I return the suit if it doesn't fit me ?
However make sure to return the suit unused and in mint condition.
how can i choose the best size for me ?
Please check our size chart and size benchmark of our pool of swimmers.
Our one piece swimwear have to be tight at first when worn dry as they stretch out and act like a second skin once immersed in water.
Due to the nature of Nylon 6 we use, our swimear are more compressive than your standard polyester made swimwear. So if they feel tight at first, it is perfectly normal.
How should I wash the swimwear ?
After a swiming session, simply wash the swimwear with clear water and with a little soap if needed. It will be more than enough.
Dampen the wet swimwear in a towel and dry the swimwear at ambiant temperature once at home.
Never wring out the swimwear as it will weaken the fabric threads.
We strongly recommend to never put the swimwear in the washing machine as the washing machine tends to deteriorate and weaken the fabric threads, resulting in looser and washed out swimwear.
If you have any question please ask support@sharkrebellion.com
is the swimwear really made of fishing nets ?
Our swimwear are made of recycled plastic waste sourced from the ocean and landfills, including industrial fishing net rescued by the NGO HEALTHY SEAS with whom we partner.
The amount of industrial fishing net in the swimwear vary from the quantity of fishing nets rescued after a clean-up operation.
It's more expensive than other swimwear that I own !
Our manufacturing process involves more people and more steps than just extracting oil from our heart (and damaging it).
We also allocate a part of the profit to finance HEALTHY SEAS clean-up operations.
In the end, behind what you pay, there are a lots happening behind the scene thanks to you.
where is it manufactured ?
Our swimwear are currently handmade stitched in Bali, Indonesia, by independant tailors.
This is currently the only place where we could achieve the highest quality of craftmanships that we were looking for, especially for the reinforced stitches.
I feel that the suit is smaller in size than other brand
Indeed and it is tighter by design, due to the use of Polyamide 6 instead of Polyester.
Polyamide 6 thread are more compressive and at the same time more stretch than Polyester made suit, which give the impression that the suit is really tight at first.
However try it out in the swimming pool and you will see that it will become one of the most comfortable suit you ever had.
I'm still not sure...
And that’s perfectly fine. If you have any query or question, shoot us an email : hi@sharkrebellion.com

why we fight
Ocean are our greatest treasure.
And yet, we ignore the tragedy that is currently unfolding right in front of our eyes. As if the vastness of the ocean and seemingly infinity would handle whatever we throw at it.
But the ocean is fragile, and must be preserved.
For too long we have neglected it. We can’t continue to stand still and do nothing.
Now, we fight for the ocean.
