Swimwear for motorcyclists: your rugged style for the water, the beach, and the sun
Imagine: the trip was long, the sun was strong, and the dust from the road is stuck to your skin. The lake glistens on the horizon. Now there's only one thing to do: take off your helmet and boots and dive into the cool water. In this moment of pure refreshment and freedom, you want to be able to rely on the essentials. You need swimwear that matches your lifestyle—simple, functional, and with a clear, authentic style. Tight, uncomfortable swim trunks or cheap trunks from the supermarket don't meet this requirement. You need a companion that is as reliable as the rest of your equipment.
Welcome to the world of beachwear for motorcyclists at motoin.de. This category is your equipment for your well-deserved vacation. We have put together a collection for you that focuses on what really matters: robustness, functionality, and a cool look. Discover the Brandit Basic swim shorts, which impress with their simple design and quick-drying material, or the functional Mil-Tec swim shorts, whose cargo pockets are also practical on the beach. And because a perfect day in the water requires more than just shorts, you'll also find the right accessories, such as the iconic Top Gun beach towel, which will make you stand out on the sand.
This comprehensive guide is your navigator to the perfect break. We explain what is important in a good pair of swim trunks, which materials make the difference, and how to complete your beach look. Find the equipment you need for those moments when you recharge your batteries, so that you are ready for your next adventure on two wheels.

Swim shorts in detail: find the perfect model for you
Modern swim shorts are truly multifunctional. They have to look good in the water, dry quickly, and be comfortable enough to wear at the beach bar or for beach volleyball.
The material: the basis for comfort and functionality
The material is the decisive factor for the performance of your swim trunks.
Why polyester and polyamide (nylon)?
These synthetic fibers are the first choice for high-quality swimwear. They absorb little water, which is the main reason for their extremely fast drying time. Unlike cotton, which becomes soggy and heavy, polyester swim trunks remain light and comfortable. In addition, they are very resistant to fading caused by UV radiation and aggressive substances such as chlorine or salt water.
Inner briefs: do they make sense or not?
Most men's swim shorts, such as Brandit Basic swim shorts, have inner briefs sewn in from lightweight mesh fabric. This has several functions: it provides support, prevents the shorts from sticking to the body, and provides better ventilation. Whether it is comfortable or not is a matter of taste, but it is a quality feature for well-designed swim shorts.
Cut, length, and fit: what's important
The right fit determines whether you feel comfortable in your shorts.
The ideal length
The modern length of shorts is constantly changing. The most important thing is the length that suits you. As a general rule: a length that ends at mid-thigh is a sporty and timeless classic. Longer styles that reach the knee (swim trunks) usually have a more relaxed effect. Choose the length that you feel most comfortable in and that allows you sufficient freedom of movement.
The waistband: secure fit in any situation
An elastic waistband combined with a drawstring is the best solution for swim trunks. It ensures that the trunks fit snugly and don't slip, both when diving into the water and when swimming. The drawstring allows for precise individual adjustment of the width.
Styles: from functional to classic
Swim trunks also come in different styles to suit different needs.
Functional cargo swim shorts
For those who don't want to give up practical storage space even at the beach, cargo swim shorts are ideal. Models such as Mil-Tec swim shorts have pockets on the legs, which are usually closed with Velcro or even zippers. Perfect for storing your hotel room key, some coins to buy an ice cream, or your cell phone (in a waterproof bag!).
Classic basic swim shorts
Sometimes less is more. The basic Brandit swim shorts are the perfect example of a simple and discreet design. With classic colors and no large prints, they focus on the essentials: a good fit, high-quality material, and a timeless style. They are the perfect versatile shorts for any vacation.
More than just swim trunks: essential beach accessories
For a perfect day in the water, you need more than just the right swim trunks. The right accessories complete your experience and enhance your style.
The beach towel: your mark on the sand
A towel isn't just for drying off. At the beach or pool, it is your base, your place to lie down, and your personal territory.
Size and material are decisive
A good beach towel should be large enough to lie down comfortably. The standard dimensions of approximately 100 x 180 cm are ideal. In terms of material, high-quality cotton is the best choice. It is extremely absorbent, durable, and pleasant to the touch. The velvety surface makes the towel especially soft and allows the colors of the print to shine brightly.
Design with cult factor
Your towel is a canvas to show off your style. Instead of just any design, you can show your passion for action, speed, and iconic 80s culture with a striking piece like the Top Gun Beachtowel. It's guaranteed to be an eye-catcher and a conversation starter.
The checklist for a perfect day at the beach
To be prepared for anything, don't forget the other important accessories for a day in the sun:
Hat: A cap or boonie hat protects your head and face from overheating and sunburn.
Sunscreen: High-quality sunglasses with guaranteed UV protection are essential for protecting your eyes.
Transport: A sturdy backpack provides space for your towel, food, sunscreen, and everything else you need.
FAQ: Frequently asked questions about swim shorts and beachwear
1. What is the difference between swim shorts and swim trunks?
Swim trunks (or swim briefs) are very short, tight-fitting shorts, primarily intended for competitive swimming. Swim shorts are significantly longer and looser. They look like regular shorts, but are made of quick-drying material, making them more versatile for all water and beach activities.
2. Can swim shorts also be worn as regular shorts in everyday life?
Yes, of course. Modern swim shorts are often so stylish and comfortable that they can easily be worn as regular shorts. Thanks to their lightweight and breathable material, they are often more comfortable to wear on hot days than heavy cotton shorts. They are the perfect vacation companion, as they can be worn to the beach and for walking around town afterwards.
3. Why do swim shorts have inner mesh briefs?
The sewn-in mesh inner briefs have several practical functions. They provide better support and prevent the shorts from slipping when you move. They create a layer of air between your skin and the wet outer fabric, which improves comfort and prevents the shorts from sticking to your skin. In addition, they offer protection and coverage.
4. How to properly wash swim shorts to preserve them?
The most important thing is to rinse the shorts with clean, cold water after each use in the pool or sea. This removes harsh chlorine and salt residues. Then wash them in the washing machine at 30 degrees on the delicate cycle. Do not use fabric softener, as this can stick the fibers together and impair the quick-drying properties. Dry them in the open air and not in the dryer.
5. Are there swim shorts with zippered pockets?
Yes. This is an important feature, especially for use at the beach or outdoor pool. Many of our models, especially cargo swim trunks, have pockets on the back or legs with Velcro or zipper closures. In them, you can safely store your locker key, room card, or some change without fear of losing it in the water.
Conclusion: your free time, your style, your equipment
Your free time is precious. Relaxing moments in the water are the perfect balance to a demanding day on the street. With the right swimwear and accessories, you can enjoy this time without worries, without having to compromise on functionality and style. High-quality swim trunks are more than just a seasonal piece of clothing—they are equipment for your relaxation.
Whether you prefer the pragmatic functionality of cargo swim shorts or want to make a statement with an iconic beach towel, with us you'll find the perfect companions for your adventures in the sun. Get ready for your well-deserved vacation.
