Our boardies are made for more active swimming. They’re made with our Worn Well swim fabric, which will break in and fade over time (but will last forever). They’re longer than our trunks with a velcro closure waistband and a tie string, so even if you lose your board, you won’t lose your swimsuit. Our boardies are made with our Worn Well fabric: a Cotton/Nylon/Spandex blend for exactly the right amount of softness, stretch, and a quality we call holding everything in place... These are pigment-printed with an engineered stripe so they'll fade nicely over time.
