Great style, very comfy shorts, 36" waist = XL, however, not colourfast

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 January 2019

Size: XLColour: Speedo NavyVerified Purchase

I'm a 36" waist and the XL size is spot on. Shorts are really comfy with pockets and drawstring. However, if you regularly swim in an indoor, chlorinated pool as I do every day, they will last approximately 30-40 days. At this point, they will turn from lovely navy blue to a blotchy shade of grey. So after 6 weeks, they are consigned to the bin. This is the second style of Speedos that have done exactly the same thing ie fading colour. I have contacted Speedo directly in the past but seemed to be fairly disinterested in the problem so perhaps I need to choose a different manufacturer. Just always thought Speedo were top end, maybe not. Refunded by Amazon - great service.

They don't balloon up when you enter the pool (although my inner child finds this amusing). The drier hasn't made then shrink to fit my inner child either. Well made, with a handy key pocket too. Winner.

Smart Shorts!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 December 2018

Size: XLColour: Speedo NavyVerified Purchase

Great quality. Size wise I’m a 36” waist and these fit perfectly (bought XL size) the mesh inside is finer than most and is comfy, plus the material of the shorts is superior quality to most cheaper types you’d find in supermarkets or fashion retailers.

The length is just about around my knee and I’m a 30” leg (so i take a ‘short’ trouser fit, regular would be 32” leg) and that’s fine. Smart dark navy colour, so will be fine for the local pool and fine for holiday wear too. Might buy another pair if I can actually motivate myself to go swimming!!

Overall, very satisfied 5 stars

Strange shape

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 July 2019

Size: LColour: Solid BlackVerified Purchase

These are really swimming shorts. Some say the material is too thin but this makes them good and dry very quickly. The leg is too short to be a fashionable alternative to regular shorts. The cut is a strange shape. they have no shape at the back so if you use them for running the fronts of the leg will bind on the fronts of your thigh. The shape is like I have bought in cheap shops in India. To give a 5 star they would need to have a better shape and slightly longer leg.

Fine pair of swim shorts

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 April 2018

Size: XLColour: Solid BlackVerified Purchase

These were for my daughter who likes longer, boys shorts for swimming. We weren't sure about the fit but followed the guidelines. They're a bit big but nothing that can't be remedied by pulling the waist tie, which is long enough. She loves the deep pockets. Have been used for a swim in the sea, washed and dried already so thank you!

Watch the size

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 August 2020

Size: XLColour: Solid BlackVerified Purchase

I really like these

Good material and look to them and generally good value.

However so far my experience is that I am usually an XL with room to spare in most things but in these they are tight. Tried another pair and they were the same. For comfort I would go a size up

Sizing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 October 2020

Size: XXLColour: Speedo NavyVerified Purchase

If you are purchasing these shorts I would highly recommend you go a size up, equate the sizes to medium--small, large--medium, xl--large etc, these definitely need to be sized up one, great quality shorts, be warned about sizing though.

Go at least a size up, tight on legs.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 January 2021

Size: XLColour: Solid BlackVerified Purchase

I wear med to large in most shorts (mostly large but can fit in a medium) I took the reviewers advice and got XL however the do seem tight around the leg opening, the waist is ok a little big though I’m around 33-35” waist.

Overall they will do what I got them for but they’re not the comfiest as tight on my quads.
