Volcom Simply Rib, a thong bottom built from Econyl
The Volcom Simply Rib is a thong bikini bottom from Volcom's Eco-True collection, partially made with Econyl regenerated nylon, turning ghost fishing nets and other waste into swimwear that looks good and feels good to wear.
What the Simply Rib is made from
The composition is 90% Econyl regenerated nylon and 10% elastane rib, made from Italian fabric. It is built as a tiny bottom with tiny coverage and a functional tie side, giving it adjustability in fit. As part of Volcom's Eco-True line, the Econyl content is the whole point of the piece, recycled material rather than virgin nylon.

Who this bottom is for
This is a bottom for anyone who wants a minimal, thong-style bikini bottom without giving up quality or fit, the tie side is there so you can adjust it for however you are spending the day, whether that is swimming, paddling, or just laying out. It also fits anyone who specifically looks for recycled swimwear, since the Econyl content is a core part of what this piece is.
Wearing and caring for Econyl swimwear
Rinse the suit in fresh water after every swim in salt water or chlorine, both accelerate wear on Econyl and elastane fibers faster than fresh water alone. Hand wash in cold water and lay it flat to dry, avoiding the washing machine and dryer, heat and agitation are the fastest way to lose the stretch and shape in a rib knit elastane blend like this one. Rotating between suits rather than wearing the same piece every day also helps a rib knit fabric hold its recovery longer.
