THE ROCKS PUSH swim shorts from REPREVE, a regenerated yarn made from recycled plastic bottles that otherwise may have ended up in our oceans.

More than 33 billion plastic bottles have been recycled by REPREVE and turned not only into THE ROCKS PUSH swim shorts but also athletic apparel, cars, shoes, sporting equipment and more.

The REPREVE process embeds properties like wicking, adaptive warming and cooling, water repellency, and durability in a quality driven recyclable product.

 It’s just not just finding new life for recycled materials. Compared to a virgin fiber, REPREVE offsets using new petroleum, emitting fewer greenhouse gasses and conserving water and energy in the process.

For every pair of THE ROCKS PUSH men’s board shorts, five plastic bottles have been saved from the ocean and going into landfill. Some good has been done for tomorrow.

The REPREVE fabric is created at Unifi’s advanced recycling facility where plastic bottles are sorted, washed, and chopped into flake material. The clean flake is blended, melted, and turned into

REPREVE a recycled chip and then loaded in silos. One silo can hold the equivalent of 27 million plastic bottles. The chip goes through the extrusion and texturing process and is transformed into fibres with inherent performance properties. REPREVE is durable, breathable, long lasting, water-resistant, fights against odours, and is lightweight.

Unlike polyester, REPREVE offsets the need to produce new petroleum, emits fewer greenhouse gasses and conserves water and energy in the production process. This is in stark contrast to virgin polyester which requires the petrochemical cycle to continue for its production.

Plastic waste has been diverted from the oceans and landfills to create durable, sustainable fibres that can be used in textile fabrics like THE ROCKS PUSH shorts.

We have two styles for men, both tailored for comfort and a unique fit.

The Balmoral men’s has an elasticated drawstring waist and tie for comfort and a wide leg, this style is perfect for swim, sport and social. The leg length is 38cm long and ends just above the knee on someone who is 6 feet tall.

The Blueys men’s swim short is a longer leg short based on a traditional board short. It ends just at the knee and has a zip and button fly at the top and an internal drawstring to keep them on safely when doing big dives. The leg length is 42cm long and ends on the knee on someone who is 6 feet tall.

The swim shorts and linen shirts run to a standard size. It’s best to have a look at our size charts to check before ordering. The swim shorts are based on waist measurements for men and age measurements for boys, and the linen shirts and rashies are based on chest measurements. Please see the size chart.

We recommend washing your swim shorts in cold water and by hand if possible, which helps reduce the micro-fibres shed from clothing entering our waterways. Your shorts will like drying in the shade to keep the print as vibrant as possible. We also love the Guppy Bag, which does the job for you. We recommend using gentle detergent and washing with like colours.

We've put a mesh liner in our men's swim shorts so you're safe when diving from decks and bombing from rocky outcrops and so there are no transparency surprises when you come out of the water. The mesh is easily removed with small hand scissors if you prefer to wear your swim shorts without mesh lining.

Yes. We pack and ship your order in 100% biodegradable and 100% home compostable satchels made from corn starch from The Better Packaging Co. Even our swing tags are made from recycled paper with vegetable ink.
