These swim shorts are cut in a straight, medium-length thigh cut. This swimsuit is made from 100% polyester. This material effectively resists chafing, doesn't wear out easily, and doesn't deform over time. The polyester in the Nautical Cup swim shorts is a synthetic fabric ideally suited to both wet and dry swimwear. It's a textile that also has the advantage of being fairly stretchy, wrinkle-free and guarantees good colorfastness over time of use. For this swimsuit, the fabric has been treated with a special water-repellent finish to facilitate drying. This swimsuit ties, at the front of the piece with a drawstring inserted into the fabric of the elastic waistband. The lace ends are protected by metal end caps. The swimsuit has been made with discreet side pockets and a piped back pocket, closed with velcro. This swimsuit carries the Oeko-tex label. This international certification standard ensures the non-harmful nature of the yarn, fabric and dyes making up these swim shorts.
