Croota is a really great brand we cover from Australia. We have reviewed them and we love the fit and feel of the brand. We are excited to see some new lines from them, and the first one is the Pattern Breaker Bikini.

  • The pattern is inspired and designed from the stars on the Australian flag as well as Croota’s star logo.
  • Inserting a partial and breaking silver satin logo on the elastic band is the hardest technique for manufacturing and this design can only be found on
  • Croota’s new designs (First time anyone has attempted this in the market) This effect on the logo really has to be seen in person to be appreciated.
  • Comfortable bikini type for an active life style
  • 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex

Find this and more from Croota at their site! http://www.croota.com

 

Croota is a new company in the US Market for swimwear. We profiled this pair in our Swimwear Guide. Our model Christian wore this exact pair. While Cody and Juan wore Austar 01 & 02. All three are really great square cut suits.

  • Low cut suit with hand written logo print on front
  • UPF 50 fade resistant fabric
  • 85% Nylon /15% Spandex blend
  • Quick Drying

This pair was designed with a super sporty guy! The low cut design will move with you as you have fun on the beach/pool/lake. The contrasting colors really show off against the navy fabric.

You can get this from the Croota site for $24.50 US. Check out all the suits and underwear they are making. We are sure you will find something!

Firs thing I have to do before we get into the guide is thank the awesome sponsors above! Pistol Pete – Gold Sponsor, Clever/Vuthy & Croota – Silver Sponsors and Good Boy Gone Bad and UnderGear as Bronze sponsors! Without them this guide would not have taken place. Next, I have to thank our photographer Brian from Seven Continents Photography and our Models Cody, Christian and Juan. Our sponsors allowed us for the first time to hire models and do a shoot all ourselves. It is a big learning process and things had bumps (models falling out the week before), but we carried on and pushed forward. We think we did a great job for our first attempt and we will learn more each time!

We had over 60 suits and a full day by the lake and then a re-shoot by a pool this past weekend. It has been a blast and I hope you enjoy this guide and it helps you get some great swimsuits this year! Our Models are Cody, Juan and Christian. Please check out our Videos on YouTube Enjoy the Guide! BTW, don’t forget to check individual size charts!

We hope you enjoy this guide for swimwear for summer! Watch over the next few days for exclusive Brief Distractions from some of our Sponsors. Remember please check each company’s sizing charts, because they differ from company to company.

Summer 2010 is upon us.  I sure hope you have something exciting to wear to the beach and the pool this year.  If you don’t, there’s no need to worry!  There is still hope coming to you from Croota.

The White Austar sports some pretty awesome designs.  Each section has some sort or writing or logo, giving you a total of four to complete a seriously awesome look. It’s a great looking pair and though white swimwear has a special place in my heart, this pair has an even more special place where it’s well deserved.

Like the other pair of Croota swimwear I have, this pair is made of 85% cotton and 15% Spandex.  It has what I think is something to protect the privates from showing when the suit gets wet.  With that nifty add-on, it’s a really comfortable swimsuit.  You should check out this pair.  With its great price, you will definitely want to add it to your collection.

You can get the Austar low-cut hipster in white or khaki from Croota’s website at http://croota.com.  A full range of sizes is available from S-XL.

Croota provided me with this pair of underwear to review.

It’s pretty amazing what some companies are doing these days with their underwear designs.  Croota is definitely one of those amazing companies.  The Blue Tang is a work of art in itself with its unique outside design.  Combine it with the stitching, logo, and waistband and you have yourself one awesome pair of underwear.

As you may or may not know, Croota is what I would consider a “sassy brand”, or one that gives little thought to the opinions of others, giving it an awesome factor. You have the wittiness on the site and you also have it in the underwear label itself. Check this new brand out.  It’s going to explode soon!

Just like the other Croota pair I’ve reviewed, this is made of 95% cotton and 5% Spandex, yet it looks like no other underwear.  It’s really stunning and sticks out when you open the undies drawer, causing it to be one of the first pairs worn every time you make a choice.  If you’re looking for that pair of underwear to complete your collection and at a price that won’t break the bank, check out the Blue Tang!

Though it may seem I am wowed often, I’m actually not.  That is, except for now!  I have one of the greatest pairs of underwear imaginable.  The brand gives a middle finger to the world style.  If you don’t know what I’m talking about, head to their homepage at http://croota.com and you’ll see.

Speaking of that middle finger to the world, there’s a bit of humor as well as some serious individuality.  What’s that humor you ask?  You’ll have to find out for yourself.  It’s on the label and it should give you quite a laugh.  The waistband is cool with the right amount of accentuation with the mixture of red, black, and white.

This fine pair is constructed of 95% cotton and 5% spandex, equaling 100% of harmony.  I cannot get over how comfortable and natural feeling it is.  This stuff is perfect and the prices can’t be beat.  If you’re looking for some great underwear from down under, perfect for your down under, then look no further than the Croota Neo Night collection.

It’s that time of the year…Summer!  More importantly, swimwear time is upon us.  If you’re like me, then your collection has quite a few new swimsuits from down under, most being shorter than your usual American swimsuit.

Croota is a new, shorter swimwear collection.  One of two pairs I’ve received, the Surfers Paradise, is quite interesting.  Being someone that has never worn a shorter-than-board short swimsuit, I’ve been pleasantly surprised and I definitely recommend this pair to all who need to spice up their swimwear collection!

This interesting pair of swimwear is made of 85% Cotton and 15% Spandex, making for a quite comfortable combination.  Granted, I’m not completely sure what it is, but there is a second layer of material on the front that seems to be extra protection against visibility of the front.  I may be completely wrong.  That gives this pair a sort of hidden feature style that I like.  Head on over to Croota.com and check it out!
