These are a new mid thigh length unlined long swimming short. Great for that extra bit of coverage without any bulk or twisting of lining. These don't have a gusset so if you want one they can be worn easily over something else.

Our inhouse testers have LOVED these, particularly in the plain recylced nylon. We did a lined version in printed polyester, but have decided to go which the simpler softer nylon version.

  • Fit
  • Fabric
  • Care
  • Constructed in very durable nylon/spandex Thunderpants swimwear is super comfy, just like the underwear. Stick to your undies size when ordering.

  • Thunderpants swimwear fabric uses ECONYL® regenerated nylon yarn made from nylon waste otherwise polluting the Earth, like fishing nets, fabric scraps, carpet flooring, and industrial plastic. There is spandex component to the fabric as the swimwear needs the help of a bit of elastic to avoid any swimwear malfunctions when plunging in, other wise they are just as comfy as your undies. All the garments are made locally and lovingly in New Zealand. 

  • To preserve the life of the fabric we suggest you rinse your swimwear in fresh water after use. Do not soak or bleach your Thunderpants swimwear items. Use a gentle detergent in a cold machine wash and dry your Swimwear on the line, not in the drier.

    Your Thunderpants swimwear is not only super comfy but they are designed to withstand some pretty staunch stuff, so get into them and get swimming!

Avery ★★★★★

Got these for swimming laps at the pool and the mid thigh length hits just right—no more tugging at a liner. They stay put in the water and dry off quickly once I’m out.

George I. ★★★★★

The lack of a gusset was honestly the selling point for me—no awkward bunching or twisting when I'm in the water. These hit mid-thigh exactly as described, and the unlined fabric dries out fast without that clingy liner feeling.

Owen J. ★★★★★

Finally, a pair of swim shorts that hit mid-thigh without any of that annoying inner lining bunching up. I wore them for a whole afternoon at the beach and didn't have to adjust them once.
