Swim Shorts
Sealskinz Swim Shorts
Sealskinz introduces a premium line of men's swim shorts, featuring compression lining for a snug fit, no mesh for comfort, and anti-chafe, quick-drying fabric for an enhanced swimming experience. Designed for the modern man, our swim shorts promise both performance and style in and out of the water.
What is the fastest drying swimsuit material?
At Sealskinz, we prioritise performance fabrics that work as hard as you do. Our swim shorts use quick-dry polyester/elastane blends specifically engineered to shed water rapidly and reduce drag. Our Southwood quick dry swim shorts use a stretch-polyester blend that dries fast and maintains shape, with a soft, chafe-resistant internal lining. This kind of synthetic blend outperforms heavier, natural fabrics (which soak up water). The goal: you leave the water feeling light, not weighed down.
How do I choose swim shorts for water sports?
Choosing the right swim shorts for water sports means finding the ideal balance of comfort, mobility, and resilience. Each pair of Sealskinz swim shorts is cut to allow unrestricted movement, giving you the freedom to paddle, surf, or swim with ease. The fit is secure and dependable, with adjustable waistbands that keep your shorts firmly in place through every turn or dive. Instead of heavy mesh liners, we use soft, quick-draining internal linings and fabrics that channel water away efficiently, helping you stay streamlined and irritation-free. Every stitch, seam, and panel is built for endurance in salt, sun, and surf, offering long-lasting resistance to chlorine, abrasion and UV damage. Designed as true hybrid gear, Sealskinz swim shorts perform in the water and look sharp on land, so you can transition seamlessly from activity to relaxation without missing a beat.
Are certain swim shorts better for running in wet conditions?
Yes, and Sealskinz swim shorts are specifically built for performance across both wet and dry terrains. When you move from water to land, you need shorts that won’t hold you back. Our quick-drying, low-absorption fabrics ensure you’re not weighed down by trapped water, so you can run freely and comfortably even when conditions are damp. The carefully considered seam placement and smooth internal construction reduce the risk of chafing. Just as importantly, our stay-put waistbands and secure drawcord systems mean your shorts remain stable, even under vigorous movement. Whether you’re sprinting along the shore, tackling a coastal trail, or training in unpredictable weather, Sealskinz swim shorts are designed to dry fast, fit comfortably, and move with you every step of the way.
