Kattegat Recycled Nylon Swimmers

Shorts

The verdict

A recycled nylon swim short; eco-friendly and functional for water, though minimal off-water use.

Fit

Swim shorts typically fit close to the body with a short inseam. Recycled nylon will dry fast and resist chlorine fading; expect a snug, athletic silhouette.

Quality

Recycled nylon is durable in water and holds dye well. Construction should be suited to frequent washing and UV exposure.

Price check

At $115, mid-tier for specialty swim gear. Fair for sustainability and performance in aquatic settings.

Best for

Swimmers or regular pool/ocean users seeking an eco-friendly, fast-drying short with minimal off-water versatility.

Care

Swim nylon fades with chlorine and sun; rinse after each use and air-dry away from direct heat.

What owners report about Norse Projects shorts

Norse Projects' overall reputation with owners is solid — reviewers praise the build quality and simple designs, and say the clothing generally fits true to size. That mostly carries to the shorts range, but quality control on shorts specifically has drawn complaints: one Trustpilot reviewer received Aros twill shorts with sewing-machine holes along the stitching that became more visible after washing. The other consistent grumble is price, which reviewers describe as bordering on luxury for simple cotton shorts.

Strengths
Owners rate the brand's materials, finishing, and pared-back designs highly, with fit that is generally true to size.
Watch out for
Isolated but pointed quality-control lapses reported on shorts — stitching flaws that worsen after washing — plus prices reviewers say border on luxury.
Sizing
The brand generally fits true to size, though one write-up of the cotton Aros shorts found they run a bit large and stretch with wear, so consider the smaller size if between.
