DEETEES vs Boardshorts: A Completely Biased Comparison

DEETEES vs Boardshorts: A Completely Biased Comparison

Let's settle this once and for all. Two contenders enter the ring. Only one walks away with dignity (and a tan line you'll actually be proud of).

Tan lines

Boardshorts: knee-high farmer tan that follows you into winter.


DEETEES: even, all-over colour. You'll look like you've been on holiday for a year.
Winner: DEETEES.

Drag in the water

Boardshorts: basically wearing a small sail. Great if you're trying to slow down a rip current. Terrible for actual swimming.


DEETEES: streamlined, built for moving through water like you mean it.
Winner: DEETEES.

Drying time

Boardshorts: still damp three hours later, sitting in your bag like a wet regret.


DEETEES: dry before you've finished your post-swim snack.
Winner: DEETEES.

Confidence required

Boardshorts: zero. You could be hiding anything under there.


DEETEES: a little more, sure. But that's the point. If you need a confidence boost to get started, may we suggest Banana Hammocks - there's no easing into this one, you just commit.
Winner: depends how you feel about yourself. We know which side we're on.

Pack size

Boardshorts: takes up half your suitcase.


DEETEES: folds into your pocket. Practically weightless.
Winner: DEETEES.

Final score: DEETEES, 4-1.

Look, we make Sluggers - of course we're biased. But four out of five categories don't lie. Time to retire the sail shorts and join Team Sluggers.
