Everyone was right. I bought my size and they were 3" too big. Almost fell off of me. Returning and getting the next smaller size because they are worth it. There is no swimming trunk lining, so keep that in mind if you are wanting to use them for water activities. They do have that desertcart smell. Review: Listen to the other reviewers. - I am a size 34 waist but I usually buy size 38 and wear a belt because I like the looser feel. After reading the reviews, I ordered a bit smaller and glad I did. Pros 1. Cool (temp wise), light, airy fabric. Good for walking around on hot days. 2. Fit well. I still need a belt but it fits my other size 38's do. This isn't a big deal because I was warned ahead of time. 3. Nice design. 4. Functional pockets for the win. 5. Cheap price. 6. Double use as walking around shorts and swim trunks. Cons 1. I feel like one day I'm going to tear this fabric. It is quite thin. Overall, I'm satisfied with the purchase. If I'd paid like 45 or 50 bucks for this I probably would have a lot more to say, but at this price point it's really hard to be negative. I liked it, just listen to the reviewers and don't overestimate the size. ## Features - Fancy board shorts for the water and an evening out - 4-way stretch microfiber, upf 50+ - Side pocket and belt loops - Button closure ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00FPK0Z46 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Apparel Closure Type | Belt,Button | | Apparel Fabric Stretch | High Stretch | | Apparel Fabric Weight Class | Lightweight | | Best Sellers Rank | #184,529 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #231 in Men's Board Shorts | | Brand Name | Kanu Surf | | Care instructions | Machine Wash | | Closure type | Belt,Button | | Color | Charcoal | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,073 Reviews | | Fabric Type | 88% Polyester, 12% Spandex | | Fabric type | 88% Polyester, 12% Spandex | | Fit Type | stretch | | Fit to Size Sentiment | Positive | | Garment Size Country | United States | | Global Trade Identification Number | 06872901457030 | | Manufacturer | Kanu Surf Men's Swimwear | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1457 | | Material Type | microfiber | | Neck Style | High Neck | | Number of Items | 1 | | Origin | Imported | | Pattern | Plaid | | Product Care Instructions | Machine Wash | | Rise Style | High Rise | | Size | 34 | | Sleeve Length Description | Sleeveless | | Sleeve Type | Sleeveless | | Strap Type | Adjustable | | Style Name | Highline Stretch Hybrid Boardshort | | Style Number | 1457 | | Swimwear Bottom Form | Board Short | | Swimwear Form Type | Bottom Only | | Ultraviolet Protection Factor | UPF 50+ | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Waist Size | 21 Inches | ## Images ![Men's Highline Stretch Hybrid Boardshort - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/518Fi0-x9XL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Button fly?** A: Nope Velcro with a single button at the waste. **Q: Do these have a draw string** A: No they do not have a draw string. Also they run very large (I ordered these around a year ago) my boyfriend usually wears a 38 and we ended up needed a 34. They are really nice but I've had to sew the button back on a few times. **Q: Do they have netting** A: No **Q: Inseam size?** A: I couldn’t tell you for sure, but I wear a 34 inseam pant and these shorts go down last my knees just a bit. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great but ran 3" large for me *by K***Y on April 12, 2026* Great fabric - the plaid looks great and the fabric has a good flow - cool and light weight. Everyone was right. I bought my size and they were 3" too big. Almost fell off of me. Returning and getting the next smaller size because they are worth it. There is no swimming trunk lining, so keep that in mind if you are wanting to use them for water activities. They do have that Amazon smell. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Listen to the other reviewers. *by J***Y on March 15, 2015* I am a size 34 waist but I usually buy size 38 and wear a belt because I like the looser feel.

This is the first pair of board shorts I've had (after many years of trying all kinds) that really has all the features I want. The front pockets are comfortable to use, deep enough for whatever, and properly sewn to not spill the contents while seated. Unfortunately, they are made of mesh that is prone to snagging on whatever you put in them, including fingernails and rough weathered hands. The rear pocket is fine except for the velcro closure. Why can't we have a button? Velcro doesn't last, as everyone knows. The front closure uses a button, and there is no elastic in the waistband. For all-day, everyday comfort, that's definitely the way to go. Elastic waistbands squeeze you and leave imprints in your skin. The fit is quite large. I have a 33” waist and ordered size 32, but they are way too big and fall down when I walk. Good thing they have belt loops, so I can tie them on with a piece of cord. My only real complaint is the fly - it has a piece of material blocking it for some reason, so you have to fully unbutton to relieve yourself. I thought about cutting that piece of material out, but again for a reason I can't being to fathom, the manufacturers thought it was a good idea to put velcro on the fly too, so... I'm kind of glad to have the piece of fabric there to protect my junk from the ravages of the velcro hooks. Anybody with male anatomy should know better than to put velcro anywhere near it! These shorts are light, breathable, quick drying, and with just the right amount of stretch to be comfortable without being weird. I love them, and I'll be buying more. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/759359-mens-highline-stretch-hybrid-boardshort](https://www.desertcart.is/products/759359-mens-highline-stretch-hybrid-boardshort) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
