        Those are not for cold water. They're for sun protection.

        The garments seem identical to me.

        yeah sure, but all the debate is not about the apparence or the garments. But the goals. good or not.

        I would surely think so. But in France there are more regulations around swimming garments.

        the debate in france (and elsewhere) is not about garments.... stop the fallacy of this over simplification.

        Banning burkinis *is* simplification: it fights the symptoms, not the disease & makes things worse in the process

        Bikini or Burkini? The former allows skin to burn, the latter protects it.
