Construction & Design

The Sun Safari Bikini is crafted from high-quality mesh fabric that balances sun protection with breathability.

The fabric is engineered to resist fading and wear from prolonged exposure to sun and weather conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance.

The bikini straps into the factory windshield header loops and center sport bar, while J-Hooks attach to the upper door bars.
