Introducing

Solving the problem of toxic water-repellent coatings.

The future of water-repellency

After the worldwide success of our first material Sheertex , our team set out to design a material that could provide water-repellence without toxic coatings. Watertex leverages the inherent properties of our proprietary fibre to create industry-changing natural water repellency.

Concept 1: Water-repellent swimwear

Watertex is a technology of Y Combinator backed SRTX Labs. We’re the material science team behind Sheertex which launched on Kickstarter in 2018 and has shipped 3.3M units worldwide.

Fast-drying, performance-enhancing swimwear that revolutionizes your water-to-land reality.

Performance backed by material science

In third party lab tests against 3 competitor suits at room temperature, Watertex dried in half the time and retained 60% less water after initial submersion.

In 2022, after the worldwide success of our first material Sheertex, our team set out to design a material that could provide water-repellence without toxic coatings. The result of this research and development is the Watertex knit, which uses properties inherent to high performance fibres to eliminate water absorption.
