Great swimsuit for our little one, such a fun colorway. It has an elastic waist but a drawstring also, he really loves the pockets like big kids and it has a fully lined interior which seems more comfortable then the other brief style

5 Tarheel011
These are such a great color for swim wear! Now my husband wants a matching pair. The material and fabric is very high quality and although we haven ’ t worn them for a full season yet, I think these will hold up well!

With warm weather right around the corner, my son was really excited about the look of these DSG Boys ’ Swim Shorts, so we decided to give the `` Dye Effect Multi '' a try. As soon as the package arrived, he could n't wait to get them on. The colors look great in person — the dye effect is vibrant and modern. My son is 10 years old but on the smaller side( weighing around 65 lbs). I ordered the Size Medium, and they fit exactly as expected. It only took him about two minutes to swap his clothes for these trunks, so they are definitely easy for a kid to pull on and off! The most important thing for him is how they feel. He immediately mentioned that they are comfortable to wear and move around in. The fabric feels like it will hold up well to a full season of swimming and playing. These trunks are a win for both parents and kids. They are priced right, look sharp, and the sizing is spot- on. If you ’ re looking for a reliable pair of swim shorts that your child will actually want to wear, I have no problem recommending these.

5 Bill
These shorts are amazing. They fit perfectly and feel great. I would purchase these again and again. I recommended them to a friend the other day. The colors that are offered and the patterns that they come in are awesome as well

5 Kyle
The swim shorts have been a great pickup for my son. The fit is just right. Not too tight or baggy and the elastic waistband keeps them comfortable all day. The material is lightweight and dries quickly, which is perfect for going from the pool to running around outside. They ’ ve held up really well with frequent use and washing, with no fading or wear so far. My son also likes the look and says they ’ re easy to move in while swimming or playing. Overall, a reliable, comfortable pair of swim shorts that we ’ d definitely buy again.

This shirt fits great on my 8 year old daughter. She loves the thin fabric, that it ’s soft, and it ’s good quality. She also really likes the color. I know this is made for boys but I would consider it for a girl as well. It ’s fairly slim fitting and is true to size.

5 Jim M
Great swim shirt or beach wear when out in the sun. Material is soft and flexible yet thin enough to not get too hot. Breathable material with additional sun protection. Moves well so the kids can play and not feel restricted too. Thin material is not transparent which is nice as well.

5 Melissa
The color of the shirt is a subtle sea glass green making it a spring/summer neutral piece. High quality stretchable and breathable material allows for comfortable wear without sacrificing style. Shirt can be sized up for a longer life for a growing child.

5 Kasey
I can just see my son wearing this sun shirt all summer. It fits well, provides SPF50 so I don ’ t have to worry about him enjoying the sunshine for too long. Good light color. The fabric is lightweight.

5 Toothdoc
Great shirt! Very light material that ’s stretches. I use this for my son so we don ’ t have to apply sun screen all the time. He does not seem to sweat in it and says he stays cool. The stitching is good quality and it washes nicely.

[ The material is so soft and light. It will be very comfortable to wear in the heat of the summer. Added plus is the 50 spf protection! The color is a very nice shade of blue and fits as expected for the size.

5 Tamaramarie
[ I got this Hurley UPF 50+ Raglan t- shirt for my grandson for when he comes swimming at our house. I prefer these shirts to using lotion. It protects his shoulders and back where he usually gets a sunburn. They seem to run a little small, but maybe they are supposed to be tight fitting.

5 mselt
[ My son loves this shirt- so far it ’s his favorite to wear now! It ’s super light weight, works as an excellent swim shirt do to its UV blocker, comfortable and cool! Highly recommend!

5 mshell0123
[ I love having these UPF shirts when the summer time comes for my kids. My boys and my daughter use them when they are swimming, are at tennis camp, or at sailing camp. I like that they provide sun protection and I do not have to worry as much about their skin.( I still put sunscreen on them) The fabric is so lightweight, it dries quickly. I will be purchasing more of these! I wash these on delicate and let them air dry as to keep them looking their best.

[ These board shorts are very nice! I got these for my 11- year- old son and they fit very well. They feel very well- made.

5 Stephlee1824
[ I gave these shorts to my 7 year old son and he likes them. They are light weight and do n't have that mesh material on the inside that regular swim trucks usually have. They dry quickly. I also like that they can be worn as shorts or swim trunks. It makes it nice for days that he might be going swimming but also might not. They have a back pocket. There is a tie in the front but that does not tighten the shorts at all and looks more for looks. They waist is n't very elastic either.

5 Needa
[ My son is going to love this shirt of Hurley. It is light weight and has the polyester material. It will keep him cool while he is out playing sports this summer.

[ I love this brand! This long sleeve t- shirt is so comfortable and I love the way it fits! I am also a huge fan of the bright color! I am always looking for sun protective clothing that have great UPF and this one is 50+. I definitely recommend checking them out!

5 AmyM
[ These shorts are great. They fit my son perfectly and are adjustable for him to be able to keep them up. I like that they 're long, giving him a little extra coverage. They are lightweight so he does n't get too hot in them.
