Birdwell Men's Stretch Boardshorts, Short Length

These are top quality and look great. I had to return them, however, because they just didn’t work for me and my “dad bod.” They would have been perfect if the drawstring was functional instead of aesthetic, because while they fit me well, they felt like they were going to be around my ankles if I actually swam or dove in them.

Swim trunks are the best

I an thankful Birdwell's provides a stretchy version of their classic board shorts. These trunks are perfect for me.

All-in-all, these feel great. The fabric is high-quality and I am happy with them. Here is what I do not like, however. The waist draw-string does not wrap all the way around your waist. It is laced up in the front so there is not a lot of room to tighten the shorts if they are not a perfect fit. For me, the front bunches up a little and they slip down a tad. The other thing I do not like is that there are no pockets - but I guess that could prevent some potentially bad accidents with cell phones.

Best beach short I have. I will only buy the surf stretch. They fit snug for a 36 but they won’t fall off when wet, wake, surf, or swim. The short length is more like a medium vs actual short. I’m 6’4” and they show plenty of leg with out being short shorts. I wish they had more color selection. They are expensive, but compared to others in the market they are the best deal. I am ordering another pair in a different color and would recommend these over any of their competitors.

My son loves these shorts and now has several pairs

The stretch fabric is fantastic. These things look great and dry quickly. Bear in mind that they do NOT have a mesh liner, so you'll either have to go "commando" or wear something underneath. It takes a bit getting used to. But once you do, they're fantastic.
