UV swim shorts for men with a dual-function construction: the outer UV-Tech 168 fabric provides UV protection at UPF 80 — certified to UV STANDARD 801. The inner FDY mesh — made from 100 % recycled polyester — is fast-drying, breathable, and replaces the conventional lining that tends to chafe when wet or bunch at the crotch. UV protection takes effect precisely where sunscreen routinely washes off during watersports.

Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageThe outer UV-Tech 168 fabric consists of 82 % polyester and 18 % elastane and is certified to UV STANDARD 801 by the Hohenstein Institute (NB 0555), classified as EU PPE Category I under Regulation 2016/425. The UPF rating is preserved when wet, after salt and chlorine water contact, and across multiple wash cycles — explicitly verified by the UV STANDARD 801 test protocol.
The fit is cut to standard proportions with slightly longer leg coverage — designed to protect the upper thigh without restricting movement. Flatlock seams and an elastic drawstring waistband retain full range of motion. Two zipped pockets with branded uveekai zip pullers keep keys, cards, and valuables safely stowed — even when the shorts go into the water.
Versatile in active watersport use: stand-up paddling in freshwater and saltwater, wakeboarding, snorkeling on reefs and post-dive warm-up, open-water swimming, beach volleyball in midday sun, and long sun-filled hours by the pool. The slightly longer leg cut reliably covers the upper thigh — a deliberate decision for UV-protective coverage across the full surface.
All men's UV swim shorts are machine-washable at 30 °C on the delicate cycle and retain their UPF protection permanently. Care instructions are listed on each product page.
What sets the UVEEKAI men's UV swim shorts apart?
Three core features: first, UPF 80 certified to UV STANDARD 801 by the Hohenstein Institute — the highest UV protection rating issued under that standard. Second, the dual-layer construction with UV-protective outer fabric and a breathable FDY mesh inner lining made from 100 % recycled polyester. Third, two zipped pockets with branded uveekai zip pullers for secure storage even during watersports.
Are the shorts comfortable without separate underwear?
Yes. The integrated FDY mesh lining made from 100 % recycled polyester replaces a conventional inner brief — fast-drying, breathable, and free of the doubled-up crotch layer. Wearing additional underwear is not necessary and counterproductive when swimming.
Which size should I choose?
Men's UV swim shorts are cut to standard proportions with slightly longer leg coverage for upper-thigh protection. If you fall between two sizes, choose the smaller size for a tighter fit during sports (SUP, wakeboarding), or the larger size for lifestyle and beach use. Detailed size charts are on each product page.
