I like the swim trunks but if you swim in a pool treated with chlorine the color will not last. I have other trunks made from polyester and the color does fine, the trunks fade pretty quickly, they fade to some not very attractive colors.
We ordered these in the regular cut with the back pockets for my husband for a cruise. We ordered the cobalt blue and the orange. The colors and very true, vibrant and very nice! The orange is a nice orange, not a "glow in the dark" orange. They are of good quality and nice enough that he could wear a shirt with them and walk around and not look like he's walking around in swim trunks...but he is!! :-) They seemed to fit him true to the size we expected. We would recommend.
