Fit and Comfort

Pros:

  • "Overall they fit great and love them."
  • "The sizing was perfect. They are super comfortable and lightweight."
  • "I ordered a size 3X and didn’t really need them that big but I love these swimming trunks cause they got waist band string that you can tighten them up and tie them overall they fit great and love them."
  • "The medium fits me very well, i'm about a 32 waist."
  • "The fit is fine for his medium (160 lbs) frame and the waist ties securely."
  • "The fit is as true as they say. Don't size up!"
  • "They fit perfect and don’t feel like they will fall apart after a few wears."

Cons:

  • "The shorts I received don't look exactly like what is pictured on Amazon."
  • "Unfortunately I had to send them back as they weren't big enough for my partner."
  • "But after receiving them and trying them on, after two minutes of wearing them. I had severe chafing at the end of my private area."
  • "I'm 6' tall and the part of the shorts that covers the lower torso/crotch was just way to short/tight."
  • "This may be my first product review ever so that should be an indicator of how strongly I feel about these swim shorts. They are ridiculously small and not even close to true to size."
  • "These are cut about a size too small and the netting inside is especially 'cramping'."
  • "Ordered an XL, got a small.. twice!"

Design and Appearance

Pros:

  • "Love the color and pattern, but that's about it."
  • "It's a bright blue, and the color has not faded, nor has the material shown any signs of wear."
  • "The stash pocket is great also if you need emergency money and don't want to carry a billfold or wallet."
  • "Bought this last minute for a trip when I needed a black swim suit. Let’s say, I really like these. The white stitching gives it a good look."
  • "I love the colors and design- I wanted something that definitely screamed 'swim trunks' and these do!"
  • "I bought a bunch of swim trunks for my husband for our trip. He tried these on and said he just wanted these in different colors, so I returned the others and ordered three of these."
  • "The adjustable waist in the suit was very flattering & possibly boosted his self-confidence."

Cons:

  • "The image shows the swimsuit with black drawstring. The actual swimsuit that was sent to me has a white drawstring and it looks ridiculous with that color swimsuit."
  • "The only slight inconvenience of the netting inside which I cut out along the sides with the elastic so it didn't dig into my skin."
  • "The tiny Velcro tabs on cargo pockets were insufficient for holding wallet or storage locker key."
  • "The mesh holes are too wide and the material is very rough."
  • "Liked the length of these trunks, but felt they may be a bit snug through the seat when sitting."
  • "When holding up the two XL there was at least a 2 inch size difference in the waist bands."
  • "Velcro tabs felt like good quality."

Material and Durability

Pros:

  • "The material looks strong, and well put together. I think these will last a long time."
  • "Outer material is nice and durable."
  • "Material felt sturdy with a thick, almost rubberized feel."
  • "These have a very nice liner in them...but they are a little more 'slim' cut...waist, length and look...they were awesome."
  • "No fading in the chlorinated water 3 times a week and laundered afterwards. No shrinkage of color fading."
  • "Was very surprised at the quality of these swim trunks. They are very well built and true to their size."
  • "Great material and pattern - we bought the blue camo and 2 solids."

Cons:

  • "I cannot write a review of this products intended use, water wear. Since I just received it today. I will reference it's initial appearance. First glance was nice, it felt plasticity. Upon further inspection you can see from the pictures that the stitching is subpar."
  • "Bought for husband. He’s worn them 3-4 times and they ripped at crotch."
  • "The inner lining. After wearing them three times and washing them twice, the inner lining is ripping apart."
  • "The material is not great."
  • "Material will not last long or sustain heavy use (hey... they're 20 bucks)"
  • "The stitches can be seen pulling at the fabric with a slight tug."
  • "Some of the seams are a little crooked, but not bad."
