ABOUT US
BORN OUT OF PASSION
As a child, I always had a passion for the water and the adventures that came with it. I spent days on board our sailboat and enjoyed vacations by the coast, surfing, swimming, and relishing the sea. My love for water activities was instilled in me from a young age, and I grew up with a deep passion for everything related to water. But time and again, I encountered the same problem: traditional swimwear that chafed, irritated, and simply wasn't comfortable during my long days on the water. It was not only frustrating to constantly deal with discomfort, but it also limited my experience and joy.
UNIQUE DESIGN
THE SOLUTION
At a young age, I came up with the idea to develop a swimsuit that is truly comfortable. I started by wearing compression shorts under my swim shorts, a solution that helped but was not yet perfect. In 2023, I decided to take this idea further by integrating the compression shorts directly into the swim shorts. This innovative design provided me with the comfort I had been seeking during water sports. I was so satisfied with the result that I immediately applied for a patent on this unique method of making swim shorts.
IN STYLE AND COMFORT
THE ULTIMATE SWIM SHORTS
My goal was clear: to design swim shorts that not only excel in comfort but are also durable and can withstand the toughest conditions. Today, my swim shorts offer the ultimate combination of style, comfort, and functionality, whether you're riding the waves, diving into tropical waters, or simply relaxing on the beach with friends.

CONSCIOUSLY PRODUCED
We deliberately choose to have our swim shorts made in Porto, Portugal. This way, we can ensure that our swim shorts are handcrafted by skilled artisans, that the working conditions are good, and that the quality is exceptional.
SUPERIOR QUALITY
USING THE BEST MATERIALS
At ZAND&ZOUT, we believe that quality is something you should never compromise on. Just as we learn that cheap gear can limit our outdoor adventures, we know the same applies to swim shorts. We’re tired of swim trunks that show signs of wear after just one season, that can’t withstand the intensity of the water, and that simply aren’t comfortable enough. It’s clear to us that to create the best swim shorts, we must use only the finest materials.
