Mens swimming trunks- what are you wearing?

[Lineman7]

So, I've realized my trunks are really out dated. They are all the ones I've had since my 20's Lol. They are the long board shorts style. I'm sick of them. Looking for some really quality shorts that I can swim in and do weekend chores with. Looking for some shorts with pockets, fast drying, elastic waist, and on the shorter side.... maybe 11". I wanna be able to keep a phone and my pocket knife on me while I do chores, then go jump in the pool. Get out and do some more chores. Until its beer:30 and I stay in the pool.

Common sense is telling me I need to look into the fishing mfg's. I just don't have experience with them.

What do you like? and are you a active trunks wearer?

Not cheap but I recently got a few pairs of these and they are pretty nice. Not your normal mesh liner, more like boxer briefs inside them so they are comfortable to wear for long periods.

I need more trees for that. Give me 5 years and the new Crepe Myrtles will block the neighbor's windows.

When I’m doing anything in the yard on a hot day, I’ll just hose myself down quickly and then jump in the pool for a bit until I cool down. I just jump in with my cargo shorts on… whatever… keeps me from having a heat stroke. Last weekend it was 90 degrees out and I was patching potholes in my asphalt driveway with cold patch and a manual tamper… really appreciated the pool.

I am surprised they lasted that long. I find any bathing suits with elastic will only last a few years - I am guessing that the chlorine destroys the elastic. Are are these the board shorts with laces that don't have an elastic waist?

Exaaclty.. last time I went commando in the privacy of my own backyard I was told no one wants to see those wrinkly old Crepe Myrtles!

Ya, know... I still wear my old OP's.. they stand the test of time!

Super comfortable, dry very quick, and the pouch keeps everything secure...but they are pricey. I have some I got from costco and old navy and other places, but the SAXX are just soo much better

Lol I just went through the same thing 2 weeks ago. I have had my board shorts since 2006! My wife was like “you got to do something about all that”. It’s hard find them and to boot longer than 1980 gym shorts. You know what I mean. I finally found field and stream ones I liked. Longer. Good for surf fishing. I can’t get over how freaking light and better they are vs my long heavy cotton ones! Omgggggggggg. I also bought like 8 short sleeve thrash shirts. Oh man I was so much cooler this trip especially when out on the boat. I’m only wearing those type of material for fishing back home now.
