Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Tofino Top Peri good for surfing or active water sports?
Yes, the Tofino Top Peri is designed for active water days, including surfing and paddleboarding. It combines a longline tank silhouette and V-neck for secure coverage, is labeled High Support, and is made in our Surf-to-Sweat swim fabric so it stays put during movement. It also offers UPF 50+ sun protection, which helps protect skin during long sessions in the sun. This top is best for women who want a stylish, supportive swim top that works for both riding waves and lounging between sets. If you need a rigid underwire or a competition-level performance suit for extreme impact sports, a specialized athletic swim top might be a better match, but for most beach and surf activities the Tofino balances support, coverage, and style beautifully.
Will the Tofino Top Peri provide enough support for larger busts?
Yes, the Tofino Top Peri offers strong support for fuller busts thanks to its longline construction and High Support design. It is offered in sizes XS through XL with D/DD options in multiple sizes, giving added structure and fit for larger cup sizes. The longline band under the bust provides extra anchoring and the V-neck is cut to flatter without sacrificing lift, so it’s a great pick for women who want both support and a polished, beach-ready look. Keep in mind it is not an underwire bra, so if you require the firmest possible lift for high-impact land sports, a dedicated underwire sports bra may feel more secure.
How does the Tofino Top Peri hold up to sun and frequent wear?
The Tofino Top Peri performs well for sun exposure and regular use because it’s constructed from durable swim fabric with UPF 50+ protection and made from recycled or upcycled materials with zero toxic chemicals. The longline design reduces ride-up and wear on seams, and the Surf-to-Sweat fabric is engineered to tolerate repeat exposure to salt, chlorine, and sun better than delicate knits. This makes it ideal for a mom who swims regularly, surfs on weekends, or travels to sunny destinations and wants a reliable, stylish top. For maximum longevity, rinse after salt or chlorine exposure and dry flat out of direct sun to keep colors and elasticity freshest, as with any swimwear.
Sustainability Isn't A Feature - It's Our Foundation
When Carve Designs began in 2003, we didn't add sustainability to our checklist - we made it our core vision. That hasn't changed.
