What this piece does not do

  • Rinse in fresh water after salt or chlorine, or the elastane will degrade early.
  • The face fabric is light. It is not built for board-shorts abrasion.
  • We make no antimicrobial, odour-control or medical claim for this garment, and we do not describe it as waterproof.

Every figure on this page is measured under the conditions set out on our performance testing page.

The thinking

The failure mode of a swim short on land is the mesh liner showing through and the seat staying wet on a chair.

This one uses a bonded quick-drain panel instead of a full mesh liner, and a 100 gsm recycled polyester face that reads matte rather than shiny.

Published dry time is about 1.5 hours hanging at 22°C and 55% RH — the fastest thing we make.

Details

  • About 1.5 hours to dry under our published test conditions
  • Bonded drain panel rather than a full mesh liner
  • Matte recycled polyester face
  • Zip rear pocket with a drain grommet
