Patagonia Swim Shorts Ireland

Patagonia Swim Shorts

Made for long days in the water. Patagonia swim shorts dry fast, move with you and shrug off salt and sun, sewn from recycled fabric and Fair Trade Certified so they last without costing the planet.

Patagonia swim shorts and boardshorts built to last

A good pair of boardshorts should dry fast, move freely and survive seasons of salt and sun. Patagonia builds its swim shorts from recycled fabrics, Fair Trade Certified sewn and backed by the Ironclad Guarantee, so they hold up to surfing, swimming and warm-weather days year after year.

Quick-drying recycled fabric

The recycled fabric used here sheds water and dries fast, so the shorts never sit heavy or cold after a swim. A smooth, stretchy weave moves with you in the surf and on land. Choosing recycled fabric keeps strong performance with a lighter footprint.

Self-draining pockets and no-chafe seams

Mesh-lined, self-draining pockets let water flow straight out so nothing stays waterlogged. Flat, no-chafe seams sit comfortably under a wetsuit or on their own through a long session. These are the details that separate a real boardshort from a beach short.

Built to last and backed by the Ironclad Guarantee

Patagonia builds these to take years of salt, sun and washing, and stands behind them with the Ironclad Guarantee. The Worn Wear programme repairs wear and tear rather than replacing a pair. It is swimwear made to be kept, not thrown away.

Ready for surfing, swimming and warm-weather days

From dawn surfs to holiday swims and hot days by the water, one pair covers a lot of ground. Lightweight and packable, they slip easily into a bag for travel. That versatility makes them a warm-season staple.

Frequently asked questions

How do Patagonia Baggies fit?

Baggies have a relaxed, roomy cut and generally run true to size with space to move. The 5 inch inseam is the classic length, and if you prefer a closer fit some people size down.

Can you swim in Patagonia Baggies?

Yes, in the lined versions. Lined Baggies have a mesh support liner and a quick-drying outer built for swimming, while unlined styles are better suited to hiking and everyday wear.

How do I care for Patagonia swim shorts?

Rinse them in fresh water after salt water or chlorine, then wash cold and air dry. That keeps the recycled fabrics and any liner in good condition through the season.

What can you use Patagonia Baggies for besides swimming?

Baggies are built to do far more than swim. The quick-drying fabric and mesh liner mean they work just as well for hiking, paddling, everyday wear and lounging as they do in the water. They dry fast after a dip, so you can move straight from the sea to a walk without changing. That all-round usefulness is exactly why they have such a following.
