Drawstring swim trunks in Bananatex, a technical fabric woven from abacá banana plant fiber, in riverstone. Almost every swim trunk is polyester or nylon, so this is one of very few plastic-free options for the water.
Made from Bananatex, a 100% plastic-free technical fabric made from banana plant (abacá) fibers. Water-resistant, breathable, quick-drying.
The Rama Swim Trunks are made entirely of bananatex. Bananatex is abacá canvas grown without pesticides and independently screened, Cradle to Cradle Gold. That composition is what Toxome scores, and it earns 74 out of 100 on the fiber scale, where 100 is cleanest.

Bananatex is abacá canvas grown without pesticides and independently screened, Cradle to Cradle Gold. Toxome rates every fiber on what it does to the body of the person wearing it, and publishes the reasoning rather than a badge. The score covers the fiber, not the dyes and finishes a mill adds later.
Toxome reads each garment's fiber composition and scores it on what that fiber does to your body, not on a brand's sustainability marketing. A higher score means a cleaner fiber. Composition is taken from what the brand publishes, so the score reflects the label rather than our opinion of it.
