Product Insights
The Simons Solid-Coloured Swim Short ($39, in stock) balances eco-friendly performance with stylistic tradeoffs: its recycled polyester mesh liner wicks moisture, dries quickly, and prevents ballooning, while the 5-inch inseam favors sporty modern looks and shorter statures but requires sizing up for muscular builds. The vivid matte peachskin colors resist fading (with rinsing), yet slit pockets suit lounging over swimming. At this price, buyers find quality and design rivaling premium brands.
Verified claims

- Buyers with muscular or large lower bodies often need to size up due to the slim cut.
- Inseam
- The 5-inch inseam is short; buyers report it shows off legs and flatters shorter statures.
- Wet performance
- The mesh-lined fabric wicks moisture, dries quickly, and prevents ballooning in water.
- Sustainability
- Recycled polyester reduces emissions by 32% and energy use by 59% over virgin polyester.
- Color vibrancy
- Buyers say the solid colors are vivid and photo-accurate for the price.
- Fade resistance
- Colors resist fading from UV and chlorine; maker recommends rinsing after use.
- Finish
- Peachskin matte finish provides a non-reflective, refined look.
- Fabric
- 95% recycled polyester outer resists chlorine, abrasion, and UV and dries quickly.
- Construction
- Built-in mesh liner and drawcord waist hold up; 5-inch inseam reduces ballooning.
- Value
- At 39 CAD, buyers say quality and design rival pricier brands at a fraction of the cost.
- Fit
- Elastic waist with drawcord and mesh liner keeps shorts secure during movement.
- Care
- Cold wash and line dry; rinsing after use preserves colour and quick drying prevents musty smell.
- Liner
- The internal mesh liner holds up well with regular washing.
- Drying time
- Hydrophobic polyester dries in minutes, reducing machine-drying energy.
- Pocket drainage
- Slit pockets lack drainage and closures, suited for lounging, not swimming laps.

Deep Research
Fit guide for 5-inch inseam swim trunks
- The 5-inch length has resurged as the go-to for a modern, athletic beach aesthetic — industry sources peg it as the top trend among younger buyers and fashion-forward cities, making this swim short a style-conscious choice that communicates confidence rather than a purely utilitarian vibe.
- The 5-inch inseam (12.75 cm) stops mid-thigh, well above the knee — for men under 5'8", this proportion visually lengthens the legs and avoids the stumpy look that longer 7- or 9-inch cuts can create, while for those with developed thighs the shorter hem shows off conditioning without adding bulk.
- The elastic waist is cinched via an internal drawcord, allowing a custom fit that adapts to hip fluctuations and prevents the suit from slipping when soaked — crucial for a 5-inch short, where even mild waist looseness can cause the hem to ride up and disrupt coverage during movement.
- The built-in mesh brief provides support and reduces clinging, while the lightweight recycled polyester with a soft peachskin finish dries quickly and moves with the body — together they help the short 5-inch cut stay in place without ballooning in the water, a common issue in longer non-lined board shorts.
Recycled polyester blend in swim shorts
- Polyester's hydrophobic nature means water slides off and the fabric sheds moisture fast — the short goes from soaked to nearly dry in minutes, avoiding the heavy, clingy feel of cotton or nylon when you move from water to pool deck.
- Recycled polyester fibers deliver superior tear and abrasion resistance, so the fabric resists pilling and wear even with repeated contact against pool edges, sand, and rough deck surfaces, extending the lifespan of the short significantly.
- The peachskin finish applies a light napped surface to the recycled polyester, giving it a brushed-soft hand that feels more like cotton than the slick, plastic-like hand of standard swim trunks, adding everyday comfort both in and out of the water.
- Polyester provides inherent UV resistance that shields the fibers and dyes from sun degradation, so the solid colour stays true through beach days without the accelerated fading that plagues natural-fiber or low-quality synthetic swimwear.
- Producing recycled polyester cuts carbon emissions by about 32% and requires 59% less energy than virgin polyester, so choosing this short directly reduces plastic bottle waste and lowers the garment's environmental footprint.
- Recycled polyester's molecular structure resists chlorine degradation far better than nylon or elastane, so these shorts maintain their shape, fit, and color through many more pool sessions than typical swimwear — effectively lasting multiple seasons where spandex-rich suits would bag out.
What peachskin fabric means for swim trunks
- The sueded surface diffuses light to create a flat, non-reflective finish, giving the shorts a subtle, refined look that reads more like a casual cotton short than a glossy performance trunk.
- The peached surface resists pilling and wrinkles, so the shorts maintain a neat appearance with minimal effort; a cold-water wash, no bleach, and line drying preserve both the hand and the matte finish.
- The textured surface allows air circulation and wicks moisture away from the skin, while the polyester base dries quickly after a swim — the combined effect is a short that stays cool and lightweight even when transitioning from water to dry land.

Great product for a great price
Nice colour, super easy shopping, and shipping experience, high-quality materials and stitching Compared to two other size L swimsuits from Simons’ house brand, this one is a little slimmer through the upper thighs and rear end and that’s why I returned it.
Q&A
2 answered- Do the colors resist fading after repeated exposure to chlorine or saltwater?
- These swim shorts are made from a recycled polyester blend, which is generally resistant to fading from chlorine and saltwater compared to natural fibers. However, the product information does not include specific testing or guarantees. Rinsing with fresh water after use helps maintain color.
- Do the slit pockets have mesh lining and drainage holes to prevent water pooling?
- The product description mentions slit pockets but does not specify mesh lining or drainage holes. The built-in mesh lining is for the interior of the shorts, not the pockets. The pockets are standard slit pockets without additional drainage features.
