Deep Research
Value at the sale price
- Lyst, which monitors over 450 stores, last recorded this exact model at $30 CAD — meaning the current $19.99 is a further markdown from an already discounted floor, reinforcing that this is a genuine closeout rather than a perpetual sale gimmick.
- At $19.99, this Printed Stretch Swim Short undercuts Simons' own Solid-coloured swim short ($29.95, reg. $39) and Contrast-lining stretch trunk ($29.95, reg. $59) — both similarly recyclable-polyester mesh-lined constructions — positioning it as the most accessible entry point in the current online assortment despite a longer 7.5" inseam.
- Swim trunks using recycled polyester, elastane stretch, and built-in liners from other Canadian-available brands like Björn Borg, Point Zero, and Hurley list between $40 and $75 CAD, making the $19.99 Simons sale price roughly a third to half the cost of feature-equivalent alternatives and effectively tripling the spending power for the same core specs.
What a 7.5-inch inseam looks like
- Men's Health style editors call a 7.5-inch inseam their 'universal style recommendation for shorts' because it 'hits a couple inches above the knee for most men,' delivering a clean, tailored cut that shows a confident amount of thigh without venturing into 5-inch territory or approaching the bulk of a 9-inch board short.
How the stretch fabric feels and moves
- The fabric is a quick-drying weave made from recycled plastic bottles, which gives it a light, airy hand that doesn't waterlog — these shorts will feel noticeably lighter than cotton or nylon blends when you step out of the water.
Microfibre liner comfort and drying speed
- The liner's recycled polyester microfibre structure is inherently water-repellent — polyester absorbs less than 1% of its weight in water — so the support layer stays light and airy rather than becoming a waterlogged anchor, keeping the trunks comfortable as you move from water to beach.
Pocket design and real-world use
- Vertical slit pockets are typically lined with mesh that drains water instantly, preventing ballooning and keeping the shorts streamlined when transitioning from water to dry land.
- Because the recycled polyester blend dries quickly, any moisture trapped inside the pockets evaporates faster, reducing that clingy, damp feeling against the thigh after a swim.
- At a 7.5-inch inseam, the side pockets sit higher on the thigh, keeping loaded items from dangling low and making them easy to reach while standing or walking.

Documents & Data
Q&A
3 answered- How does the waist fit compared to standard men's sizing? Is it true to size or should I size up/down?
- Based on the stretch fabric and elastic waist with drawstring, these swim trunks should fit true to size for most men. The adjustable waist allows for some flexibility if you're between sizes.
- Is the built-in microfibre support a brief or a mesh liner? Is it removable?
- The built-in microfibre support is a brief-style liner mesh, common in swim trunks. It is not removable as it is sewn into the garment.
- Does the recycled polyester fabric resist fading and pilling after repeated exposure to chlorine or saltwater?
- Recycled polyester is generally resistant to chlorine and saltwater fading. Pilling is uncommon with this fabric type. However, we recommend rinsing with fresh water after use to maintain appearance.
