For a hard-to-buy-for man who loves the water, give him something useful he wouldn't buy himself: swim shorts with a hidden waterproof pocket for his phone, wallet and car key. Most men own plenty of swim shorts; very few own a pair they can swim with their phone in.
Why it works
- It's useful. He'll wear them every week of summer.
- It's a little bit clever. The pocket seals itself with magnets and is IPX8-rated to 30 metres.
- It looks normal. The pocket is hidden inside, so they just look like good swim shorts.
Picks by type of man
- The beach regular: men's black swim shorts.
- The fisherman or boatie: swim and travel shorts with cargo and knife pockets.
- The classic dresser: RAKE Just Black or Shady Navy.
- The man who'll wear them out: the Classic Men's Bundle, two pairs.
