Swim shorts with integrated buoyancy support
Made for the water. Designed with purpose.
DOLFINUS brings a fresh perspective to swimwear: considered design, a distinct ocean-inspired identity, and integrated buoyancy support that goes beyond the ordinary.
How it works
A different detail, built in.
At the centre of the DOLFINUS concept is a support feature integrated into the waistband area. This design is intended to provide additional buoyancy support while maintaining the look and format of swimwear.

A connection to water
Our inspiration comes from the atmosphere of the ocean: its movement, clarity, light, and sense of possibility.
“The aim is for people to enjoy the water by staying longer and spending less energy.”
