C-Infinity is a polyester fabric that is used exclusively in Funky Trunks and Funkita swimwear. It has exceptional strength and can retain its durability far beyond other elastane swimwear fabrics. It is ideal for frequent pool use for recreational and performance based swimming. It generates high definition colour results after printing, has exceptional chlorine resistance, excellent elasticity to maintain its shape and offer firm compression, has a soft handle and is quick drying and highly breathable. It also offers 50+ UV sun protection. C-Infinity is a premium polyester that is milled in Italy and if cared for properly will provide excellent use over a prolonged period of time.
Yes, our swimwear range utilises our exclusive C-Infinity fabric which is constructed from a superior quality polyester. The fabric contains no elastane which is the component of elastane-based swimwear that breaks down in chlorinated water.
Yes, our polyester fabric has a UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) of 50+, which means 97.5 - 98% of UV radiation is blocked by the fabric. In Australia on clear summer days people with unprotected fair skin can receive enough UVR (ultraviolet radiation) to exceed recommended exposure limits and cause a sunburn in about fifteen minutes. If their skin is covered with a garment, the UVR exposure they receive will be significantly reduced. For example, wearing one of our swimwear items that has a UPF rating of 50+ will reduce UVR exposure to the skin beneath the swimwear by a factor of 50. This means it will only allow one fiftieth of the UVR to pass through it.
We tend not to reorder products once they sell out as we like to keep our range regularly updated with new prints and styles. If you’re searching for a particular print the best way to start looking is to the Google the print name and Funky Trunks as this will bring up any stock available from one of our retailers. You can also check our stockists to find a retailer near you. We suggest you call them before visiting to ensure they have the print and style you are after. If you still have no luck, please contact us as we’ll try to help you find the product with our retailers. We also recommend that you sign up to our newsletter so that you get a notification as soon as we release a new collection.
The boys size 14 Trunk and men’s size XS Classic Trunk have similar measurements however the cut of these two products are quite different. The boys style is slightly bigger around the waist (approx. 2cm when stretched) whereas the men’s Classic Trunks has a wider side (approx. 2.5cm), larger leg opening and extra room in the front section. Generally this means boys with more developed legs and glute muscles would not suit the boys size 14 and they would be better suited to the men’s style. We suggest using the size chart to determine the best size and base your decision on the body type. A good example of this can be seen on our website, where the boy model wears a boys size 14 and the men’s model wears a men’s size small. If you still have further queries please contact us
Performance suits, race suits or tech suits are an expensive purchase that should only be made after proper consideration about the planned use and the longevity of the suit. Performance suits are only suitable for pool competition swimming because they are made with technical fabrics that undergo specialised treatments to resist water penetration and maintain strong compression around the body. They are very different from regular training swimwear which will survive hours and hours of wear in chlorinated water. Performance suits are only suitable to wear for the shortest time possible on competition day to race in. They are not designed for continual wear nor exposure to chlorinated water. They should be worn very tight in order to maximise the compression around the body. This means they will be uncomfortable to wear and will be difficult to put on and take off. Extreme care needs to be used when putting on and taking off a performance suit. They are highly susceptible to tearing due to the pressure that the fabric is under when on the body.
Due to the above factors it’s important to determine if an expensive performance suit is the right purchase for a swimmer. A young swimmer coming into the sport would be better suited to progress their times through further training rather than investing in a performance suit. They are better suited for swimmers competing at major meets that they have trained throughout the year to race at.
We are more than happy to answer any queries you have about our range of performance suits and the best suit that may fit your requirements.
Our swimwear garments are made from a durable polyester fabric however it is important that they are looked after like any garment that you wish to keep for a long time. Here are a few tips:
Although special in every other way you can wash your Funky Trunks Underwear in the same manner as you would the rest of your underwear. If you’ve never washed your underwear here are a few tips:
You’ll need plenty of time to fit a performance suit properly. If it’s quick and easy to fit, then the suit is probably too big. Ensure both you and the suit are completely dry as fitting is much more difficult when wet. Ensure you work slowly and don’t use your fingernails. Orientate the suit correctly ensuring the drawcord is hanging on the outside of the suit. You don’t want to be fishing around for the drawcord later, it could end up in a bad place... Put the suit on one leg at a time. Stick a plastic bag over your foot to help slide the suit on and prevent toenails catching the fabric. Once you have a foot through, fold up the silicone gripper on the bottom of the leg opening - this will make it easier to pull the suit further up your leg.
After getting the suit up over one knee, do the same with the other leg. Ensure the bonded seam running down the leg of the suit is sitting in the correct position on the inside of the thigh before pulling the suit up further. Now work the leg of the suit slowly up your thigh by starting closest to the knee and working up – don’t attempt to pull from the top of the suit. Continue with both legs gradually working the suit higher so that it sits properly in the crotch area. If there is space between the suit and your crotch, it is not fitted correctly on your legs and you must continue to work it higher. Moving the fabric up the back of the legs can help with this. Pull the back of the suit up over the buttocks and then pull up the front of the suit. Ensure you work the fabric up as high as possible around the waist both at the front and back of the suit and then tie the drawcord tightly. Fold down the silicone gripper on the leg opening, and then sing a One Direction song to confirm the suit is tight.
To extend the life of your performance suit it is important to care for it after every use and store it appropriately. Here are a few tips:
