BACKGAMMON SWIM BRIEF by Ikakos Swimwear
£42.00
The Dave Rich Review
Another one from the Ikakos 2025 collection that really stands out, but in a slightly different way.
This design takes inspiration from classic backgammon boards, and I love how it brings a structured, geometric look into the swimwear's print. It’s clean, sharp, and feels a bit more refined while still having that signature Ikakos edge.
What makes this one work so well is the balance. The pattern is bold and eye-catching, but the symmetry keeps it looking polished rather than overpowering. It’s like you’ve made an effort, without trying too hard.
As with all Ikakos designs, it’s comfortable, holds its shape, and keeps its colour whether you’re in the pool or the sea. An easy go-to when you want something distinctive, but still timeless.
The Details
These swim briefs are made using recycled polyester from plastic bottles, so they’re a more conscious choice without compromising on quality. The fabric is designed to be soft, durable, and built to last.
They’re designed to perform as well as they look, with:
Fast-drying fabric
Built-in UV protection
Colour resistance against chlorine and saltwater
A secure fit with internal drawcord
Fit & Sizing
This style is true to size for most. If you prefer a bit more room in the front, back, or both, it’s worth sizing up.
As a guide:
S: 28–30 inches
M: 31–33 inches (Dave's size)
L: 34–35 inches
XL: 36–38 inches
If you’re between sizes or want a second opinion, drop me a line!
Care
To keep them looking their best:
Rinse in fresh water after every wear
Hand wash only with mild soap if needed
Lay flat to dry in the shade
Look after them properly and they’ll be in your holiday rotation for years to come.

We sell each design at the same price set by the brand that supplies it. That means pricing can vary between styles or collections.
The Heatwave Club will never increase prices beyond what the brand sets, and if anything, you might find items priced lower during sales. Buying multiple brands in one purchase may save you shipping costs than if you were to directly purchase these individually.
