About Jetties

Jetties started in college, when we noticed something that never quite made sense.

Guys were either wearing basketball shorts to the pool, or swim trunks that didn’t feel right. Nothing felt clean, athletic, and natural.

So we designed what we wished existed: a bathing suit that fits like an athletic short, but is built to perform in the water.

From the cut and stretch to the liner and materials, every detail was intentional. Comfortable enough to wear all day. Sharp enough to feel confident. Functional enough to move effortlessly from water to life.

But Jetties quickly became more than just a pair of shorts.

Most brands are built around one message: go harder, work more, push through. We saw the opposite problem. The same guys who train hard, work hard, and show up every day often struggle to truly power down — to slow their breath and enjoy the moment they’re in.

Jetties exists as the counterbalance. Effort without tension. Ambition without burnout. Looking put-together without trying too hard. Our products are designed for masculine ease — athletic where it matters, relaxed where it counts.

Whether you’re coming off a workout, stepping away from work, traveling, or spending a slow afternoon by the water, Jetties is about shifting gears without losing your edge.

This isn’t about doing less.

It’s about actually being there when life slows down.

That’s Jetties.

 

Josh Benbasat, Co-Founder

Josh leads Jetties with a focus on vision, design, and direction.

After spending years building businesses and pushing himself to perform at a high level, Josh saw how easy it is for driven men to stay in constant motion — productive, disciplined, but rarely fully present. Jetties was born from that awareness.

Jetties is Josh’s way of building something that reflects how he wants to live: moving with intensity when it’s time to push, and fully letting go when it’s time to slow down — a short designed to help you actually power down.
