Customers overwhelmingly praise these swim trunks for exceptional fit, comfort, and durability. The boxer brief liner is frequently highlighted as smooth, non-chafing, and superior to mesh alternatives, while the quick-drying, premium fabric resists fading and chlorine damage. Many note the trunks stay secure without restriction, maintain shape through extended use, and inspire repeat purchases across multiple colors. Thoughtful design elements like the Velcro pocket and waist tie add appeal. A few mention the liner feels tight around thighs or note air bubbles when entering water, but these minor concerns rarely diminish overall satisfaction. Most consider these the best swim trunks they've owned.
I live at the beach and the pool all summer and this is the best swim suit I have ever owned. It has held up to the sand/salt on the beach and chlorine in the pool. It fits well

Fart Bubbles
Fit: True to size
When you step into the water, it balloons out and produces massive "fart" bubbles. All bathing suits do this to some extent but this one is extreme.
I wonder why. Maybe it needs so

Not as pictured in the catalogue. Color accurate; tailoring not at all. I will be more cautious and wary in future.

Swim trunks for hubby
Fit: True to size
He liked the fit and Velcro back pocket. He might like a zipper pocket on one side to store your crackers when you go snorkeling- just a thought.

Swim suit passes as regular shorts. Built in boxer brief liner is way better than a standard swim suit. Can crouch down and shorts comfortably stretch. Gladly wear these all

I love the color, and the fit is great. Unfortunately it has no air holes to allow trapped air to escape when swimming.
