Colours of this piece
Fit and size
Swim shorts run true to waist. The board shorts have a drawcord and a flat front rather than an elastic gather, so measure a pair you own across the waistband and compare. The capris run a size smaller in the leg than the sweatpants do.
The piece in plain words
What this men's piece is
A men's board shorts in Dark Blue at 9 inches: a polyester shell the maker calls quick-dry, which in practice is the walk from the water to the car. There is no mesh liner: wear your own or none. Pockets, so a key survives the swim.
The waist is a drawcord with a flat front, and the hem is cut straight. There is no sun rating on this pair.
Wearing it
Rinse it in fresh water after the sea and hang it. Chlorine and salt both shorten the life of the elastic if they dry into it.

Words that belong to the maker
The maker calls this piece quick-dry and lightweight. Those are the maker's words, and the maker publishes no test report for the range. The sun guide and the trail guide explain what such words mean in use.
What it does not do
A quick-dry shell dries, it does not warm. It is not a wetsuit, and a pocket that zips is not a dry bag.

Questions about this piece
Does it dry fast?
Faster than cotton by an hour and faster than a towel. Damp at the car, dry by the time you are home.
