Product Insights
The Simons Crinkled-Texture Swim Short at 39.95 CAD is a short modern trunk whose core promise is a heat-set crinkle in recycled nylon, reprocessed from reclaimed clothing, fabric scraps and pre- and post-consumer waste, that survives washing and re-forms as it dries, shifting from crisp and papery dry to soft in water; the recycled nylon heat-sets and holds its crinkle like virgin nylon. A full-coverage microfibre knit brief liner, not an abrasive mesh basket, resists chafing and leaves no netting pockets so sand and grit rinse out, while also keeping the light shell opaque when wet, with Black showing the least contrast. The shell has no elastane, so give lives in the elastic waist and liner; the 3-inch inseam lands mid-thigh as a short trunk rather than a longer boardshort, and all 12 combinations from Small to X-Large in Black, Green and Pink are in stock at the same price with no X-Large upcharge. The main tradeoff is heat sensitivity: hot tubs, saunas or over-hot washing can relax the heat-set crinkle, so care calls for rinsing after swimming, machine washing cold and avoiding heat and ironing; Pink and Green fade sooner and show more wet skin contrast than Black, the rear zip pocket holds only a key, card or cash rather than a phone, front slits are hand pockets, nothing is offered above X-Large, and the Vision tag certifying 50%-plus preferable materials by weight is a Simons-set threshold rather than an audit.
Verified claims
- Durability
- The crinkle is heat-set into the nylon, so washing won't flatten it.
- Hand feel
- Crisp and papery when dry, softening in the water and crinkling back as it dries.
- Care
- Rinse after swimming; machine wash cold; do not bleach; wring out and hang dry; do not iron or press.
- Recycled nylon
- The recycled nylon heat-sets and holds its crinkle exactly like virgin nylon.
- Heat exposure
- A hot tub, sauna or over-hot wash can relax the heat-set crinkle.
- Liner
- Built-in full-coverage microfibre knit brief liner, not an abrasive mesh basket, so it resists chafing and needs no separate underwear.
- Sand shedding
- The continuous knit liner leaves no netting pockets, so sand and grit rinse out.
- Stretch recovery
- No elastane in the shell, so the give is all in the elastic waist and liner.
- Wet opacity
- The liner keeps the light shell from turning transparent when wet; Black shows the least contrast.
- Recycled content
- Vision label requires at least 50% preferable materials by weight — a Simons-set threshold, not an external audit.
- Feedstock
- The reprocessed nylon shell is sourced from reclaimed clothing, fabric scraps, and pre- and post-consumer waste.
- Colour fastness
- The recycled shell dyes like virgin nylon, but sun dulls the Pink and Green before the Black.
- Inseam
- The 3-inch (8 cm) inseam lands at mid-thigh — a short modern trunk, not a longer boardshort.
- Size range
- Four sizes SMALL to X-Large across Black, Green and Pink, all 12 combos in stock — nothing above X-Large.
- Pockets
- Vertical slit side pockets for hands and a rear zip pocket for a key, card or cash, not a phone.
- Colour choice
- Pink and Green show more skin contrast when wet and fade sooner than Black.
- Price parity
- All 12 colour and size combinations cost the same 39.95 CAD, with no upcharge for X-Large.
- Waist type
- The swim short has a drawcord-adjustable elastic waist, so the fit is stretchy and can be cinched with the drawcord.
- Quick-drying
- Lightweight 100% reprocessed nylon shell with a polyester/spandex mesh lining sheds water and dries quickly, so the shorts pack down small.
- Product summary
- Men's swim trunks with a 3-inch (8 cm) inseam, drawcord-adjustable elastic waist, and functional pockets: vertical slit side pockets and a rear zip pocket.

Compared within this brand.
| Crinkled-Texture Swim Short: Choose this if you want a Simons-exclusive swim short with a very short 3-inch (8 cm) inseam and a relaxed, straight-leg silhouette in a mid-thigh length. It is cut from lightweight 100% reprocessed nylon with a subtle crinkled, matte texture, and features a drawcord-adjustable elastic waist, built-in microfibre mesh lining, vertical slit pockets, and a rear zip pocket. It comes in Black, Green, and Pink across sizes Small to X-Large, and the very short inseam will not suit anyone wanting more leg coverage.[1,2,3] | Monochrome Stripe Seersucker Swim Short: Choose this if you want a quick-dry seersucker swim short in a recycled polyester blend with a built-in microfibre lining and an elastic drawcord waist. Its short 4-inch (10 cm) inseam sits above mid-thigh with a relaxed fit, side slit pockets, and a rear patch pocket. It comes in Black, Mossy Green, and Blue across sizes SMALL to X-LARGE, though listed size availability varies by color.[4,5] | Solid-Coloured Swim Short: Choose this if you want a retro, leg-baring swim trunk — it has a 5 inch inseam, a drawcord-adjustable elastic waist, built-in mesh lining, slit pockets, and a lightweight recycled polyester blend (55% from recycled plastic bottles) with a peachskin finish, in six colours from Black to Red. Reviewers report soft, comfortable fabric and a durable liner, and some note sizing can run inconsistent, with a tight waist and a slimmer cut through the seat and thighs that may feel restrictive on athletic builds. If you prefer more coverage, the intentionally short inseam may feel revealing.[6] |
