Fishing nets can protect us from UV rays

04 august 2022

Nothing to do with wrapping yourself in a net before going to the beach. This possible with Lycra clothing, F2M lycras.

 

Coralie, creator of the F2M brand, was a diving instructor in Asia for several years.

During her many dives, she noticed the damages caused to the seabed by lost fishing nets and sunscreens.

While looking for an alternative to sunscreen, she came up with the idea of F2M lycras.

F2M lycras are made of 78% ECONYL® nylon. This is a material generated from nylon waste, including fishing nets. Fishing nets are collected from all over the world both from fishermen or once recovered by divers.

ECONYL® nylon is made in Italy. The F2M lycras are sewn in Marseille (France) and the designs are printed in Haute-Savoie (France).

The protection provided is equal to the maximum level of protection of commercial sunscreens (UPF50+), without any chemical additives because it is obtained mechanically thanks to the very tight weaving of the microfibres. It is therefore effective immediately, will not leave any traces after you have been in the water and will remain constant wash after wash.

So you protect yourself from the sun while protecting the marine environment!
