My wife and I have actually been wanting to go white water rafting for a while, and i talked to the aorafting.com lady and asked her if we can wear shirts (i don't like taking my shirt off either... uh, not that i'd wear a burqini, SF hasn't rubbed off on me THAT much, haha), and she said yeah no problem, and she highly recommended that the shirt not be cotton, but rather a nylon type... because cotton soaks up water and leaves you cold, which is especially a problem with river rafting, cuz running water is always very cold. So if somebody out there wants to make their own version of the "burqini"... that's something to keep in mind -- the type of material.

The arti says that it gained a lot of interest from muslims, but now its gaining a lot of interest from non-muslims as well.
