Review on Nonwe Men'S Quick Dry Swim Trunks W/Elastic Waist & Pockets by Robert Elder

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Vibrant colors, solid stitching, excellent quality for price. A bit tight 'down there' for taller peeps.

Living in FL, one can never have too many board shorts. Thus, I jumped at the opportunity to review this in exchange for an unbiased review.I'll keep this simple: these shorts are well worth $20-25, at or above quality of high profile (Oakley, OP, etc.) board shorts. Thus, for $11, you can't go wrong here.Colors are bright (I ordered the ones with the stripes/palm trees), stitching is VERY good for a simple swimming shorts, and the interior plus pockets are of a nice and solid material. They don't have that cheap, 'about to fall apart on you' feel most board shorts unfortunately possess.My hunch is Nonwe are likely producing these at a much higher price point for aforementioned brand names (but with branding). You're simply buying direct via Best Buy.Note that - as other stated - these are true to size. Don't expect these to be loose at ALL based on waist. Order your actual or slightly up (if you like room).If there's a criticism, it's one I run into frequently being 6'2', short waisted, and with thicker legs. These ride tight in the crotch area, which make bending down in them a bit of a chore. Still, seemingly every darn thing I buy off the rack ends up with this calamity.

Pros
  • Great fit, Material is lightweight and dries quickly. Will be buying more in different colors
Cons
  • The pockets may add bulk to the shorts, making them less streamlined or stylish
