Garados – Freedom begins in the water
Garados was born out of the desire to go into the water carefree – without worrying about valuables. As an adventurer, founder Markus was looking for a solution to the eternal problem at the beach: what to do with your cell phone, keys, and money? Together with a friend, he developed stylish swim shorts with a patented, waterproof pocket – functional, high-quality, and uncompromising in design.
Today, Garados stands for more than just swimwear: it is a symbol of freedom, adventure and sustainability – made from recycled materials and designed for unforgettable experiences in and around the water.
Our promise: security you can test yourself.
We understand your concerns about protecting your valuables—especially around the water. That's why we invite you to try our swim shorts for yourself.
Simply place a tissue or other item in the waterproof pocket and toss the shorts in the washing machine. The forces there are stronger than anything they'll experience while swimming, diving, or surfing.
The result will convince you: the contents remain 100% dry.
A simple test – for complete confidence.
For the planet. For the future.
For us, sustainability isn't a trend, it's a responsibility. Our swimwear is made from 90% recycled PET bottles – transforming waste into high-performance fabrics for people who love and want to protect the water.
All materials are rigorously tested by the Hohenstein and SGS institutes and meet the highest REACH standards in terms of safety, chemical purity, durability and comfort.
Using state-of-the-art printing technologies, we print directly onto recycled fabrics only where necessary – without pre-dyed materials, without unnecessary inventory, and without wasting water. This minimizes environmental impact, waste, and transportation.
With GARADOS you don’t just wear functional swimwear – you take responsibility.
