Comfortable fabric. I wear them all the time at work. I like the shorter cut that makes them easy to move around in.

31" Fits like a glove and don't sag when on-duty with a radio clipped over the waistband. I'll be getting additional pairs.

Awesome board shorts! True to size, nice stretch, great style, not too baggy, not too tight. Beware no liner but that’s a true board short.

Great board shorts

These shorts are super comfortable and quick drying. I’ve been a lifeguard since 1977 and these are by far the best I’ve owned!

Best lifeguard trunks period!

I’ve said it before, these are the best lifeguard board short design out there. Been wearing this brand for 4 years now, and they are the only brand that actually lasts and look normal. I love the 19” option for short guys like myself. I like them so much I also have them in the blue guard and with no patch. My perfect summer shorts. They even added a wider waist strap and a inner front flap at the velcro front. If you are a guard these are the best option for work. Get them when you can.

Great suit overall

Love these shorts. They actually run a bit large so I exchanged for a smaller size. (I am 6' 1" and weigh about 165 with 32 in waist). They stretch some when wet but they dry out so fast that it isn't a problem. They are a little long but it is so tough to find a PERFECT length so I am good with the way these are. I wear them 3-4 times per week in salt and chlorine water and they are wearing well...no fading etc.
