the science behind the shorts

What are Setter II and Bulldog II?

Setter II and Bulldog II are the next generation of our Classic Setter and Bulldog shorts. Thanks to Nanotechnology our new Setter II and Bulldog II shorts dry up to six times faster than regular swim shorts.

What is Nanotechnology?

Nanotechnology is the branch of technology that deals with dimensions and tolerances of less than 100 nanometres, especially the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules.

What are the benefits of Nano-Tex?

Nano-Tex Fabric provides breakthrough water resistance, and as each fibre has been transformed through nanotechnology the result is a fabric that:

+ Reduces water absorption
+ Dries quickly
+ Maximizes comfort
+ Retains its natural softness
+ Maintains its breathability


How does speed dry work?

Surface tension causes liquids to cling to fabrics where they can be absorbed. Speed Dry uses nano-scale ‘whiskers’ to change the surface tension of fabrics, to dramatically reduce water absorption and improve overall drying time.

Whiskers = 10 – 100nm
One Fibre = 10,000 – 50,000nm


What is the drying time with salt water?

What is the drying time with chlorinated water?

In salt water, not only do Regular shorts pick up more additional weight but they also take up to 180 minutes to return to their dry condition, as opposed to Speed Dry shorts which dry within 30 minutes.

Speed Dry shorts pick up very little extra weight in chlorinated water, as opposed to Regular shorts which weigh over twice as more when wet. Speed dry shorts also dry up to six times faster than regular shorts.
