These short are great for swimming and the handy pockets allow one to wear them for all other outdoor activities. I Love Them because of their exceptional quality that is typical of all LL Bean products.
I bought two pairs of these very well made sport shorts for my husband. He wears them for both water aerobics with me and for tennis with his friends. He looks real nice in them and the colors available match nearly every possible eye color.
Shorts are all I expected. Very happy with them. However there are two minor shortcomings: (1) inner mesh liner does not shed water as the outer surface does. So water drips down the legs after the outer trunks are no longer dripping. Can the mesh be treated with the same water phobic chemical as the outer trunks? (2) back pocket hard to close with two separate velcro strips. One long strip would be better than the two short patches.
Terrific shorts. I use them almost daily for tennis. I can come right home and jump in the pool to cool off. They are both comfortable and sylish on and off the court. Thanks for another great product.
