The sheer fabric is way lighter than I expected, so it packs down to nothing in my beach bag. The side tie stays put even when the wind picks up, and the maxi length gives just enough coverage without feeling heavy.
Wore this over my suit at the pool and the sheer fabric felt light enough that I forgot I had it on. The wrap-tie waist let me adjust it just right, and the maxi length gave good coverage without hiding the swimsuit.
