Home to some of the hottest and most humid places on the planet, the equator carves through dense tropical jungles, warm seas, and crowded cities. Instead of seasons or temperature changes you’re more likely to be hit by a wall of heat, sun, rain and humidity. But as global temperatures rise and climate zones shift, designing clothing for the equator is like designing for our future.

So the Equator Swim Shorts are built to keep you comfortable in all 40,000km of one of the most extreme environments we currently inhabit. Each pair is embedded with thermoreactive microparticles – a skin-cooling technology invented for elite triathletes. And with every detail designed for the heat and water, they’re fast drying, highly elastic, and come with an ultra soft and breathable antibacterial lining to help keep you cool when the world is trying to heat you up.

Built for comfort in extreme heat and water

Home to some of the hottest and most humid places on the planet, the equator carves through dense tropical jungles, warm seas, and crowded cities. Instead of seasons or temperature changes you’re more likely to be hit by a wall of heat, sun, rain and humidity. So the Equator Swim Shorts are built to keep you comfortable in all 40,000km of one of the most extreme environments we currently inhabit. They’re highly elastic, durable, fast drying, and built to cool you down.

Engineered to work in extreme conditions

As global temperatures rise and climate zones shift, designing clothing for the equator is like designing for our future. So every pair of Equator Swim Shorts is embedded with thermoreactive microparticles – a skin-cooling technology invented for elite triathletes. It’s not the kind of technology you’d normally find in a pair of swim shorts.

They’re insanely elastic 

Woven with 31% elastane, the Equator Swim Shorts are insanely stretchy, as the last thing you want in extreme heat is to feel restricted by your clothes. And they stretch in every direction so there’s no move you can pull where they won’t follow you. If you do somehow manage to pull the shorts in opposite directions at the same time, you’ll find they simply snap right back into their original shape.

Lined with super soft antibacterial mesh

We’ve lined the Equator Swim Shorts with an amazingly soft Italian mesh that sits next to your skin, so you stay comfortable from the inside out. Just like the outer material it’s highly breathable, stretchy and fast drying. And it’s treated with an antibacterial finish, so the shorts stay fresh for longer, even when you’re sweating hard.

You can wear them out of the water too

While the shorts are built from high performance materials, we’ve designed them to fit in anywhere. Their minimalist aesthetic, soft hand feel, practical pockets and secure rope-tied waistband mean they work just as well on land as they do in water.

A back pocket with laser cut water escape holes

There’s also a zipped back pocket on the right hand side. It fastens with a lockable zipper protected by a storm flap. And inside the pocket there’s a panel we’ve laser cut with drainage holes so that water can escape when it needs to.
