These shorts are perfect for any outdoor water activity, versatile enough to wear as a swimsuit or cover up. The fabric is comfortable stretchy, and quick-drying. As my tests showed, they hold up well in water and provide excellent sun protection. The downside is that the sizing can run small, so be sure to check the size chart before ordering. Overall, I highly recommend these board shorts for anyone who loves to stay active in and around the water. .See full review
