Rated 4 out of 5 by momofgirltwinsand1son Nice boys swim trunks
These are a nice length and were able to be further adjusted in waist. Sad matching rash guard was sold out. Son wears a 8r or 10s and the 8 fit well.

Rated 4 out of 5 by lisamamot Gorgeous, poor waist design for us
Ordered in Black Shark, size 16, for my 5'3"+ 98 pound soon to be 12 year old. 5 stars for quality, length, overall fit. Unfortunately, there is no way to put these on/take them off without unlacing and using the rip fly. My son only has use of one hand so that makes these unusable for us. He had two pairs of these last year in size 14 with no issues...last year's model seem to have a bit of elastic built into the back that gives so you can tug them up and down. That said, if you don't mind the extra work they're nicely styled and great quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Thewriter Terrific swimsuit
I bought this suit for my 9-year-old grandson, who is so skinny that other suits fall off him. I bought size 8. The side tabs enabled him to tighten the suit so that it stayed on. The shark pattern was a plus, too.

Rated 2 out of 5 by ihave3boys great, but.....
Beautiful suit, but runs very small and tight . Had to return and reorder next sizes up for my 10 and 11 year olds. And neither boy is husky. I hope the velcro fly type waist band holds up and doesn't become a pain.

Rated 4 out of 5 by DisilllusionedShopper Run Small in Waist
My boys, ages 5 1/2and 9 1/2, are average size for their age and usually wear sizes 5 and 10. However, these board shorts were too tight around the waist for both of them. The shorts are really cute though, so we will be exchanging them for the next size up.

The adjustable waistband is awesome for my skinny boys. I'll never buy them another swimsuit without it!

Great fit! My grandson loves these swim trunks and they have maximum sun protection. I purchased the swim shirt also and am just as satisfied with it. We love LLBean's stuff!

I love these swim trunks. The longer leg coverage provides protection from the sun! My son loves them! Thanks LL Bean, you have done it again!
