A regular question we get is ”how many swim trunks do I bring on vacation”? Our response to this is usually; 2 swim shorts. The question is highly relevant and often overseen when packing for a trip. Usually guys just grab one pair and once at the destination realize that they’ve brought to few. Then having to buy a pair of boring ill fitted swim shorts at the resort.
How did we come to this conclusion? We could’ve just asked around at the office, or made a general estimation. However, that’s not how we do things. Instead we sent our latest intern Jacob on a trip to Bali to investigate the matter at hand. Below Jacob will guide us through his week and swim shorts needs on the tropical island.
Thursday – Flight to Bali, arrived on the afternoon. Checking in and then dinner at the resort – 0 swim shorts used Friday – Morning swim in the ocean before breakfast. Hanging by the pool until lunch. Dinner out – 2 pair used Saturday – Exploring the nearest beach. Massage at the hotel spa. Dinner in the old town – 1 pair of swim shorts Sunday – Mostly hanging by the pool. Golf in the afternoon. Dinner at the hotel – 2 pair of swim shorts used Monday – Exploring the beach on the opposite side of the island. Lunch at the beach. Dinner on the way home – 2 pair used Tuesday – Sleeping in. Lunch at the hotel. Pool party at the nearby hotel – 1 pair of swim shorts used Wednesday – All day at the pool. Enjoying the last bit of sun. 2 par used Thursday – Flying home – Unfortunately, 0 pair used
Jacobs first reaction when getting back was that quick dry swim shorts is key. On a trip to Bali when most of the day is spent in your swim trunks it’s important they they dries quickly to avoid discomfort.
However, what Jacob concluded was that even though he had quick dry swim shorts he often needed to change shorts during the day. Either because he was going straight from the pool to lunch or just for variation. But he also noted that there really was no need for any more than 2 swim shorts for a weeks trip.
Even though Jacobs trip to Bali might not look exactly as your trip will this gives you an indication and something to think about next time your packing.
Jacob concluded that for a one week trip you need 2 pair of swim shorts or trunks.

How many swim shorts for 2 weeks?
Answer: For a 2 week trip we usually recommend 3 swim shorts
Why settle for a one week holiday when you can go on a 2 week trip?
For a two week trip we can see that the need for swim shorts increase a bit. However, even though your vacation doubles in time this doesn’t mean you need double the swim shorts. The reason is that a 2 week trip usually contains more activities. You might for example go on smaller trips or explore new areas that you didn’t have time for if you only went one week.
So 4 swim shorts is a bit excessive. How about 3 then? It all depends on how much of your activities will be in water. For most people you can still go on a 2 week vacation with only 2 pairs of swim shorts. But we still recommend packing 3 shorts. It’s not fun to change between the same 2 pairs. And for some activities you might even need that third pair, are you going surfin? Well then you might just need a pair of board shorts as well.
A month is a long time when we’re talking about a vacation or a trip. If you’re going on vacation for this long we recommend you bring at least 4 pair of swim shorts. An exception would be if you’re backpacking. Then space if obviously very limited and there a much better things to pack. For you we really recommend only bringing one pair.

A weekend is a shorter trips, usually from Friday to Sunday but could be a long weekend from Thursday to Sunday. Here the destination is what decides how many shorts you need.
