High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The veilkini is an Islamic swimsuit similar in style to the Burkini (also spelled burqini). It consists of a pair of pants and a long sleeved tunic type shirt with a hood attached. The pieces are clipped or tied together. This feature prevents the shirt from riding up in the water. Additionally, it has a drawstring at the ankles so the pant legs do not ride up as well. It is constructed of a blend of polyester and spandex, and covers the entire body excluding hands, feet, and face (which preserves Islamic modesty see subsection Sartorial Hijab ). The garment is lightweight and quick drying, touts an anti bacterial coating and also has a 50+ SPF protection.
