Dive Right In.
Cross the Ts
Swimming trunks aren’t just a pair of baggy shorts you happen to wear underwater. They need to be cut just right. Neither too tight or too loose. That's precisely why we've meticulously tailored ours with the perfect fit that hits just above the knee.
Sustainable Fabric
This swimsuit is crafted from 100% recycled polyester, with 70% sourced from SEAQUAL marine plastics. That’s not a type of plastic that grows in seawater, though alas it does sometimes seem that way. Ours comes from rubbish that collects in the ocean, a major problem these days. As well as being sustainable, we're also manufacturing locally, since the fibres are spun in Spain before being woven in Portugal.
No Meh Mesh Here
Some of you dived into the feedback box - that’s co-creation going swimmingly good - regarding the mesh. Too low, it created unpleasant rubbing between the thighs. So we've made it higher and more encompassing for optimum comfort, for every situation whether you’re wrestling with waves on the Atlantic coast or the deckchairs on the Mediterranean.
Splashing on the stitching
From the triple stitching on the seams to the bartack reinforcements on the pockets—not to mention the waistband, crafted with a specialist elastic machine and four stitches—every detail is built to go the distance. Metal eyelets, metal cord tips, and a reinforced 2cm side vent: nothing’s been left to chance. The result? A jersey that holds up, looks good and does both effortlessly. You can finally enter the resort’s volleyball tournament without worrying.
Sea, Dry & Sun
Unlike other swimming trunks you’ve no doubt experienced, these won't leave squelching about the pool for ages. The recycled polyester swiftly sheds water, fully drying in about half an hour. Even quicker if you're really committed to the sun loungers.
No falling foul
Never again will you find your swimming trunks around your ankles after a dive from the springboard. We've added a drawstring to the waistband for maximum support. Better safe than sorry.
In the pocket
Two reinforced side pockets and an extra one on the back right with a Velcro-closed flap. Wallets, keys, phone—all within easy reach. Just remember to empty them before taking the plunge.
Swim Good
Our aim was for these Swimming Trunks to be a refreshing departure from any past swimwear disappointments. Featuring a broad, enhanced comfy mesh, non-marking elastic, and lightning-fast drying capabilities — so you never have to think about your swimmers again. Or not for a very long time at least.
Ocean’s good
We didn’t want to make the best swimming trunks out there at a cost for the environment; it's designed from the sea to be worn in the sea. That's why it's made from 100% recycled waste. It's all part of our efforts to minimise our impact and drive change whenever we can.
