Cons:

  • "But the construction was cheap made-in-China quality."
  • "The material feels like cheap plastic. It is very uncomfortable and it has that cheap webbing built in to it."

Design and Style

Pros:

  • "Like my heading states, my husband loves them!"
  • "They bright, attractive, fit well, made well, have pockets, mesh lining and the material is great."

Cons:

  • "Color didn’t match the picture."
  • "Swim shorts for my husband. The pattern of the material did not lign up."
  • "Really nice shorts and good quality but the design is not consistent around the shorts."

Practicality and Features

Pros:

  • "These are light yet tough enough for rough body surfing. Knee length."
  • "Side seam pockets and cargo pockets give plenty of options for storage."
  • "Swim trunks are comfortable fit and show little wear so far despite having worn them consistently and washed multiple times over a two week period."

  • "Very comfortable mesh liner and keeps things in place."
  • "They have a side cargo pocket and an adjustable drawstring waist."
  • "Lots of pockets for a bathing suit."

Cons:

  • "The mesh that constitutes the pockets is very weak, Keys will poke right through."
  • "I realized two of the 3 pockets had holes; causing me to lose items in my pockets."
  • "Just 2 keys and a key fob was to much for the pockets on the first day."
  • "The slash pockets are somewhat questionable. They're wide enough and deep enough but are made of the same mesh that the liner is made of."
  • "Material seems a little thicker than other trunks we have purchased so when they are not wet, they are hot to wear around town as shorts."
  • "Mesh liner is equivalent to the mesh you get produce in at the grocery store."
  • "The only thing that would make them better is if there were water releasing grommets at the bottom of the pockets."

Size and Fit

Pros:

  • "These fit both of my teenage sons (who are tall, 5'10 and 6 ft, but have small waists) and my husband (who has a large waist) perfectly!!"
  • "They fit perfectly and he loved the length!"
  • "The swim shorts fit perfect. Goes down to his knee so it is not too short."
  • "My husband is 6ft and weighs about 190. Large fit perfectly."
  • "The size large is a generous large but it is very adjustable."
  • "I am 6’1” and weigh 185 and the size medium fits me perfectly in the waist."
  • "My husband is 6 feet tall and weight 215 pounds. I bought size XX and it fits perfectly."
