Review on Speedo Medieval Printed Length Boardshorts: Stylish Boys' Swimwear for Pool and Beach adventures by Brian Olson

Hybrid Surf and Swim Shorts

Speedo knows swimwear well and this is a very nice pair of surf shorts that combine some of the characteristics of surf shorts and swim trunks. The material is 100% polyester and feels super soft thanks to the brushed microfiber construction. The shorts have a fine mesh lining found in swim trunks but retain the slimmer look and slim fit of surf shorts. The waist is secured with a drawstring, but also has an elastic band at the top for a nice, snug fit. The color scheme is pretty cool and I'm sure I had a similar pair of shorts as a kid in the 1980s so it's fun to see the same style come back. The only area that I think could be improved is that board shorts usually have closable pockets that are secured with some sort of clasp. Usually it's Velcro or a button. But the idea is that you can put on your board shorts and jump in the water with your car keys or something valuable. I suppose it's not a big deal for kids shorts and since the shorts are actually a hybrid it's not a big deal to detract from the product. Cool shorts, comfortable, dry quickly. Featured!
