OUR STORY
At Poolside Bandits, we believe that every man deserves swim shorts that not only look great but also perform flawlessly in any environment.
Founded by Arthur, also known as Arty, a proud San Diego native, our journey began with a simple passion: to create the ultimate swim, gym, and vacation shorts tailored specifically for the modern man.
After years of crafting samples, refining designs, and testing materials, Arty meticulously developed shorts that combine comfort, style, and functionality. Each pair is thoughtfully engineered to cater to the dynamic lifestyle of today's active man, whether he's going out, hitting the gym, or lounging by the pool.
Driven by a commitment to quality and attention to detail, our shorts feature innovative designs, including built-in boxer briefs, secure pockets and built-in key and sunglass holders that set them apart from the competition. Arty's vision is to empower men to feel confident and comtortable in their skin, no matter where their adventures take them.
Join us on this journey and discover the perfect blend of style and performance with Poolside Bandits.
OUR SHORTS
A big problem that swim shorts have always had is not having a place to put your sunglasses and keys. Putting them in your pockets just makes them bulky and uncomfortable. Some other short companies have put a sunglass holder on the waisteband but in the wrong places. The placement of our hoop and loop took a while to get right so you don't feel that your essentials are even on your waisteband.
This innovative hoop and loop allows you to effortlessly secure your keys and sunglasses, eliminating bulky pockets and creating a sleek, streamlined silhouette.
