When I first saw these suits I thought they were really cool. I myself wear a bikini from time to time, but I thought these were a nice alternative to showing off a lot of skin.
Evidently, there is a bit of a controversy in France (?) over these suits. I found a video showing one of these suits in use at the Atlantis Hotel in Dubai, UAE through the Gulf News. There is an accompanying interview with the woman who designed them.

By the sound of the interview, the suits have been called 'unhygienic.' Hunh? Put the controversy to rest....fill two pools. Test each for viruses and do bacterial counts. To the first pool, add 20 men in regular swimwear. To the second, add 20 women in the 'burkinis'. Do a second set of tests for viruses and bacterial counts. Hmm...wonder which pool is gonna be cleaner? (Sorry, I'm very opinionated!)
Peace.
