Do they actually dry quickly, or is this an empty promise?
Half an hour, on the dot
The fabric is 100% recycled polyester, 70% of which is SEAQUAL-certified, meaning it's been collected from the ocean. But equally importantly, they dry fast. Not "fairly quickly" or "reasonably fast". Proper fast.
This fabric wicks water away incredibly efficiently, so you don't have to lounge about in soggy trunks for three hours after a dip. A quick towel-down and thirty minutes later, you're bone dry. We even made the drawstring out of the same material so they dry at the same rate.

What’s the fit like?
Neither Speedos nor boardshorts
We aimed for the sweet spot: unrestrictive without billowing. Slightly tailored, mid-thigh length with room in the leg without veering towards basketball territory. As tidy as swimwear gets, in the water and on the beach.
The pockets are solid, the velcro on the back pocket actually holds, but the real game-changer is the inner mesh lining. It sits higher and is more supportive to prevent chafing between the thighs and, crucially, it doesn’t itch. And yes, that makes all the difference.
Will the colours hold up?
Tried and tested
Fair question when you consider that most swimming trunks on the market fade or lose their colour within a single summer. Not these. Every colour has passed the colourfastness test with a score of 4/5, which means they won't budge in the sun or in the wash. You can leave them in the boot of the car in the middle of August, chuck them in the machine after every swim and the prints won’t lose any of their vibrancy.
The only catch is that we're down to the last few rolls of fabric. So if a print catches your eye, don't hang about. Because once the stock's gone, it's gone. Properly so.
How does preordering work?
Basically, it means you buy the garment before it’s produced. By pre‑ordering, you’re the one launching the production.
With this system, we only produce what’s sold, so we avoid overproduction and can offer you an excellent quality‑price ratio.
