The seams and stitches are constructed to minimize rubbing and skin irritation while also giving you enough flexibility and range of motion to engage in your favorite water-based activities, whether it’s water aerobics at the pool or jumping on the jet ski and taking it for a rip out on the ocean.

The fabric composition hits both the durability needs and provides a horizontal and vertical stretch for a superior fit. Available in a couple of different color patterns, the Volcom Day Tripper Swim Leggings are at ease in the water and on the dry land side of life.
