Quality Analysis 70/100
These swim shorts are crafted from a lightweight, stretchy shell with a waterproof finish, making them comfortable for active days. The blend of polyamide and elastane, along with a polyester/elastane lining, suggests good resilience for swimwear.
Comfort Assessment 90/100
These swim shorts offer excellent comfort for active days, thanks to their lightweight shell with plenty of stretch and a relaxed-straight leg fit. The built-in mesh briefs and adjustable waist tabs further enhance wearability.
Sustainability Impact 60/100
This garment contains conventional fossil-fuel synthetics (polyamide and elastane) with no mention of recycled content, which negatively impacts its sustainability score.
