MONTREAL, March 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- After Sheertex successfully launched on Kickstarter in 2017, Sheertex is proud to announce expansion into swimwear, a new category for the hosiery brand called Watertex.

With over 1.9M units of product sold, Sheertex is best known for their first technology, the patent-pending Sheertex® Rip-Resist knit, made from one of the world's strongest polymers and was named one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2018.

The future of swim technology is here.

Watertex is expertly designed to offer the smoothest transition from water to land in swimwear. Third lab tests against 3 competitors confirmed that Watertex dried in half the time, and retained 60% less water after initial submersion. The days of soaking through your sundress, damp jean shorts, and soggy bags are behind us!

The first hero product is available now – a black one-piece with a sleek silhouette. With hydrophobic properties inherently woven into the patent-pending knit, Watertex is faster drying and more hydrophobic than other swimwear on the market.

About Watertex: Watertex is a proprietary technical textile made using one of the world's most hydrophobic polymers. Watertex is designed and manufactured in Canada by SRTX, the company that invented Sheertex.

About Sheertex: Sheertex is a technology of SRTX. We exist to solve problems through technology. We created Sheertex® Knit Technology to replace disposable hosiery, and we will continue to innovate as we uncover new problems we can solve. Our mission is to drive durability and sustainability of apparel products by building new materials and software to enable better textiles.
