Active Sun Protection Meets Swimwear Style
The Kulaini Kini Long Sleeve Surf Suit by Kulani Kinis is built for women who want to stay in the water longer without sacrificing style. Full-length sleeves add a layer of sun coverage across the arms, letting you surf, paddle, snorkel, or play in the shallows with more confidence. It goes straight from the break to the boardwalk without missing a beat.
Shimmer Fabric Construction
The suit is cut from Kulani Kinis' signature Shimmer base fabric, a polyester and elastane blend that sits ultra-smooth against the skin and catches light with a glossy, luxe finish. The fabric is fully lined throughout, giving it structure and opacity even when wet. The elastane content moves with the body through paddling and diving without bagging or losing shape.
Fit and Coverage Details
Kulani Kinis designs this suit to fit true to size. Women with broader shoulders may prefer to size up for comfortable range of motion through the chest and sleeve. The bottom cut provides more bum coverage than the brand's thong-style pieces, landing closer to a modest cheeky fit. A bind finish along the edges creates a secure, clean border; slight bunching at the seat is a normal characteristic of the bind technique and does not affect performance or fit.
Backless Design with Butterfly Clasp
The back features an open cut-out that keeps the suit breathable and adds a fashion-forward contrast to the long-sleeve front. A secure butterfly clasp fastens across the opening, holding the suit firmly in place during active water use. The clasp eliminates the need for a traditional zipper and keeps the backless silhouette clean.
No Padding, Pure Performance
The suit contains no removable padding, padding inserts, or interior pocket space. The focus is on a sleek, compressive fit that stays put whether you are catching waves or floating between sets.
