The Billabong Women’s Summer Hi Hike Bikini Pant is a high-performance swim bottom designed with an ultra-high leg silhouette and eco-conscious construction. Part of the Summer Hi collection, it is specifically engineered to provide a flattering, elongated look while maintaining security during active water sessions.
Key Technical Features
-
Hike Fit & Silhouette: Features a super high-cut leg designed to sit high on the hip, above the pelvic bone. This 80s-inspired "Hike" fit is engineered to visually elongate the legs while providing a modern, sleek aesthetic.
-
Recycled Summer Hi Fabric: Constructed from a technical blend of recycled polyester and elastane. This high-performance fabric is derived from post-consumer plastic waste, offering excellent shape retention and resistance to chlorine and salt water.
-
Skimpy Bum Coverage: Designed with minimal rear coverage to allow for maximum tanning potential and a "less-is-more" look. The slim back profile is balanced by the secure, mid-rise waist.
-
Clean Finish Seams: Built with smooth, clean-finished edges that lie flat against the skin. This construction reduces drag in the water and minimises "digging in" at the hips and waist for a more comfortable fit.
-
Durable Branding: Finished with a small Billabong metal plate logo at the centre back waist, ensuring the branding stays intact after repeated exposure to UV and surf.
