[ I recently purchased these shorts to use while fishing in the Bahamas. They have become my new favorite go- to shorts because they are soft, stretchy, and extremely comfortable. I wouldn ’ t use them as primary swim trunks but you can certainly get them wet and they will dry in about an hour out in the sun. I use these shorts any time I ’ m near the water, hiking, working out, or just doing chores outdoors.

I promptly bought each color! For reference I ’ m 5 ’ 4 ” 132 lbs, athletic built.

[ I purchased these super backcast shorts in navy gingham for my teenage son. He has gotten so many compliments on them and he loves them. They are great quality and perfect to wear all summer especially if you are in and out of the pool- they dry super quick. These super backcast shorts are just a little bit shorter than the regular backcast shorts, and the fit is great. Would highly recommend!

SkysOutThighsOut
[ Got these shorts in a 6 inch inseam( 1/2 foot). I think the color's not posted here because I bought it at an outlet. They 're great for someone looking for a stylish swim trunk above the knee with all day wear. Two hand pockets, a back zipping pocket( v. necessary), and a side utility pocket hit all function points. Plus the drawstring is killer, never comes untied. Surprisingly quick to dry, mesh liner does take a bit longer. But i pull the pockets out and it's worth it for having the storage and not letting the hotdog roll off the grill, while still making my buns look good. Buy one if you like my grill joke. Buy two if you swim everyday. Buy three if you do the backstroke. Buy four if you just like to have too many of anything. If you 're buying five, I want commission.

Grey1776
[ These shorts are truly epic. The waist fit is perfect, with enough flex to feel like I could be a stunt man for Jackie Chan. The length is also great, short enough to let my thighs get some sun while still long enough to prevent a charge for indecent exposure. I actually own three pairs of these shorts in three different patterns to fit any occasion. The pattern says, `` hey, I take being on the water seriously, but I 'm still here to party. '' To be honest, I even played a round of golf in these bad boys. Best round I 've ever had.

Additionally, they often feature quick-drying materials, which is essential for an active day on the water.
Elastic waist fishing shorts are typically made from lightweight, breathable fabrics that offer moisture-wicking properties. Common materials include polyester and nylon, which are durable and quick-drying, making them ideal for wet environments.
