Product Insights
The Nautical Stripe Swim Short by Simons is a modern mid-thigh swim trunk that combines sustainability and performance, using recycled polyester to divert plastic bottles and reducing energy and water in production. It offers a 5-inch inseam that flatters shorter builds and muscular thighs, dries in 15–30 minutes, resists chlorine, saltwater, and UV fading, and stays opaque when wet. The main tradeoff is the built-in mesh liner, which provides quick drainage and support but traps sand, chafes, and feels warm on land.
Verified claims
- Mesh liner
- Built-in mesh liner drains instantly, prevents sheerness, and provides gentle support.
- On-land comfort
- On land, the mesh liner traps sand, feels warm in hot weather, and can chafe during movement when wet.
- Body type fit
- Flatters shorter builds and muscular thighs.
- Style
- Modern mid-thigh silhouette avoids baggy, dated look.
- Performance
- Allows unrestricted movement and dries faster than longer trunks.
- Competitive position
- Shorter than Nautica's 6-inch and 7-inch inseams, entry to shorter swim trend.
- Drying
- Fabric dries in 15–30 minutes and wicks moisture for comfort.
- Colorfastness
- Print resists fading from sun, chlorine, and saltwater with minimal pilling.
- Environmental impact
- Uses 45% less energy and 20% less water, diverts 5–10 plastic bottles per pair.
- Competitive value
- At 9.99 CAD sale price, this short outperforms Nautica and Polo in quick-dry and recycled content.
- Fit & design
- The 5-inch inseam gives a shorter modern cut than Nautica's 6-inch and 7-inch trunks, and the zippered back pocket is more secure than Nautica's velcro closure.
- Chlorine and salt resistance
- Recycled 95% polyester, 5% spandex mesh resists chlorine and saltwater with minimal fading or pilling.
- UV resistance
- The stripe print resists fading and migration even under repeated strong sun exposure.
- Wet opacity
- The built-in mesh lining and low-absorbency recycled polyester help keep the shorts from becoming see-through when wet.
- Fabric weight
- The recycled polyester fabric is lightweight.
