Nice one, fantastic colour and lovely shine. Is that Hirogato? Can't see the logo very clear.

No! It's Pengu.
Unfortunately, a few weeks ago they announced a temporary stop of production. I'm glad I still managed to buy from them.

Thanks for the shopping tips.

I know the offer on AliExpress. I've also bought some swimwear before, but mostly it wasn't ideal.

I have both the Leohex and the NSA - both are great swimsuits.

Yeah, PBT or recycled polyester blends.
Those feel less soft and more coarse. Usually less shiny as well, although Adidas' recycled fishnet nylon fabric still has a decent sheen to it.
But in the end, all those fabrics that are made to last longer in chlorine, are all not very exciting for the true Lycra / satin fetishists among us.

Yes. Bought the leohex model for gf, she loves it and doesn't want to go swim in anything else 😊
NSA and AORHT are almost the same with no issues, good cut, good fabric, except the vinyl top part on NSA, which looks great but lasts soon, I mentioned it in another topic on this forum.
Always looked for exactly such a Pengu swimsuit, even the same colour, but also for the rising price year by year.
