Questions about this piece
Is nylon or polyester better for a swimsuit?
Each wins at something different. Nylon, which shows up on labels as polyamide, feels softer against skin and stretches further, so it molds to you. Polyester holds its color and shrugs off chlorine and sun for longer, which is why lap suits lean that way. For beach and pool days most people take the nylon and accept replacing it sooner. The Bondi is 82% polyamide and 18% elastane, shell and lining both, so it sits firmly in the soft and stretchy camp.
Are reversible swimsuits actually practical?
They are, as long as you would genuinely wear both sides. The gain is packing: one suit covers two looks, so a weekend bag gets lighter. The trade-off is drying time, since a reversible has to look finished on both faces and that usually means more fabric than a single-sided suit, so give it longer on the hook. The Bondi goes stripes on one side and polka dots on the other, which is a big enough change to be worth turning it inside out for.
How much can you adjust the fit on this one?
Both the neck straps and the back straps adjust, so you have two dials rather than one. Shorten the neck ties to lift the top higher on the chest, then set the back strap for how snug the band sits, instead of accepting whatever ratio the suit arrived tied at. That is useful if you land between a Small and a Medium. The bottom is cut for moderate coverage, so it is neither a full brief nor a string.
