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 nor too loose. That's precisely why we've meticulously tailored ours with the perfect fit that hits just above the knee. Plus, we made them roomy around the thighs for maximum comfort—just as you requested in the previous version.
Sustainable Fabric
This swimsuit is crafted from 100% recycled polyester, with 70% sourced from marine plastics. That’s not a type of plastic that grows in seawater, though alas it does sometimes seem that way. Ours come from rubbish that collects in the ocean, a major problem these days.
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.
Mesh together
Say goodbye to that uncomfortable mesh feeling. We've designed ours to be a tad wider, to avoid friction and relieve the dreaded itchiness. After numerous trials, we can finally promise an itch-free existence. You'll see—it's a game-changer.
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.
Splashing on the stitching
We splashed generously on the finishing touches with triple topstitching wherever possible for added durability. Subtle yet incredibly useful for reinforcing high-stress areas. You can finally enter the resort’s volleyball tournament without worrying.
Summery Shades
Palm Beach, Arizona, dark green, red paisley, green-blue stripes—this season, we're spoiling you with vibrant colours that won’t fade after a dip, or a thousand dips, in the pool.
Swim Good
Our aim was for these Swimming Trunks to be a refreshing departure from any past swimwear disappointments. Featuring a broad, 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 to the environment; it's designed from the sea to be worn in the sea. That's why it's made from 100% recycled waste, with 70% sourced from marine plastic. It's all part of our efforts to minimise our impact and drive change whenever we can.
