WHY WE MADE THIS

The quest for men to actually enjoy wearing a bathing suit ends here. Meet the Manmade Swim Short.

Built with a moisture-wicking and quick drying fabric that keeps you cool and comfortable in and out of the water. It has a 4-way stretch that moves with your body and never clings. The inner liner is super soft, breathable, and designed to prevent all chafing and rashes all day long. We added our signature Mansack pouch to cradle those family jewels for proper support and comfort just like our best-selling boxer briefs.

There is a zippered back pocket to keep things secure, and a drawstring waistband that adjusts easily without cutting into your waist. You can wear them to swim, train, or chill. They are made for movement wherever it happens.

MATERIALS

We chose recycled polyester for its performance and stretch, blended with spandex for flexibility and comfort. The result is a lightweight fabric that dries quickly and moves with you.

The inner mesh lining is breathable, fast drying, and contoured for everyday support even during workouts. It helps prevent irritation and keeps things in place without bunching or clinging.

Finished with UPF protection so you can take on the sun without worry.

    Great Father''s Day gifts

    Purchased a pair for my husband and a pair for my son-in-law and can't wait to give it to them. Ordered the underwear for my son and he said it's the best he's ever worn....and he wore the "TOMMY JOHN" brand...so that's a win as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

What about sizing, are they true to size?

Yes they fit just like our boxer briefs. If you know your size in those, you are set. The waistband has a bit of stretch for comfort but the fit stays clean. If you are not sure, you can use our size calculator here.

Do they have a pouch like the underwear?

Yes they do. The swim shorts have a built in pouch similar to our underwear. It gives you support, prevents bunching, and provides room where you need it. It is one of the key features that makes these comfortable all day long.

What sizes and lengths are available?

The swim shorts come in sizes from small to double extra large. They have a classic six inch inseam and a straight leg cut. That means they are neither too tight nor too loose. Just a clean fit that works for all body types.

What is the fabric like?

The fabric is a high quality recycled polyester. It is breathable, durable, and holds its shape and colour over time. Inside you will find our signature anti chafe liner instead of traditional mesh. The fabric dries quickly and wicks moisture so you stay cool and dry whether you are swimming, working out, or walking around town.

Are the pockets water friendly?

Yes they are. All three pockets, two on the sides and one on the back, are lined with mesh so water drains out easily. That means no puffing up or ballooning in the water. They work just as well in the pool as they do on dry land.

Can I wear them to the gym or out to lunch?

Yes you can. These swim shorts are designed to go from the pool to your workout or your next meal without missing a beat. The tailored fit and anti chafe liner make them comfortable and sharp looking wherever you wear them.
