Best Board Shorts for Men of 2025

"I found them to be exactly as advertised and they fit me perfectly."

"The material is a bit thin, so I worry about them being see-through."

"Since there's no liner, they aren't really good for swimming or getting wet."

“I am extremely picky about swim trunks, and these shorts were perfect. I bought them for our beach trip, and I didn't want to take them off. The color was on point, the fit was great, and I loved the quick-dry feature. The zipper pocket was perfect for my shark teeth finds. 10/10!”

“Initially, I thought about returning these, but I ultimately decided to keep them because the material is lightweight and comfortable. The length is perfect for my liking. I ordered a 3x, which is not typical, but I like how they flex as I move. They are great for running, hiking, or even lounging around.”

“These shorts are my go-to swim trunks! The fit is perfect, and I prefer wearing them without the inner mesh lining. They dry quickly, and the zippered pockets are a great feature for carrying my essentials securely. I wore them casually during my cruise and may buy more colors for the summer!”

"I absolutely love the color and how comfortable these shorts are! They fit true to size, and the side pockets are a great addition. I can wear them all day without any discomfort!"

"I ordered these for my boys, and they both said they are very comfortable and love the color. It's a win for us!"

"I had to return these because they ran extremely small. I tried multiple sizes, but none worked for me. They seemed like a nice suit otherwise!"

"I've found the size chart accurate and the color options fantastic. The fit is great, and the shorts are lightweight yet strong."

"These shorts are excellent for everyday wear. However, the pocket is a bit small for my phone, which makes it tricky for running."

"I was worried about sizing, but I’m glad I went one size up. They fit perfectly now, and I'm very happy with the material quality."

"I ordered these for my 13-year-old son, and they fit him perfectly. The price was great, the color is handsome, and they are made with superb O'Neil quality. Fantastic for both beach and casual wear! My only issue is that they arrived in a clear plastic bag, which was only sealed with a tiny piece of tape. Glad they made it to us, though!"

"I was a bit nervous after placing my order for these O'Neill 2.0 Board Shorts because I read some reviews afterward. Many people were unhappy about the large logo on the shorts. I really didn't want that logo! However, when I received them, I was thrilled to discover there was NO logo. What a relief! I did have to size down to 36 from 38, and they are a bit snug, but I'm on a weight loss journey, so I'll manage. I recommend sticking to your regular size, but going down a size isn't too bad!"

"My adult son is quite picky when it comes to board shorts, but he absolutely loves these! I've ordered them in multiple colors for him. They fit perfectly and have a great front lace cinch system. The fabric is excellent, whether in or out of the water! The side pocket is definitely more practical for surfing than the rear pocket."

"I was initially skeptical about this purchase, but the quality of the cloth is impressive, and the fit is perfect. The length is great as I don't feel restricted like in other 'boys' shorts. These are ideal for swimming!"

"I got these as a Christmas gift for my husband, and I absolutely love the color! They look just like the picture and the material feels durable and dries quickly."

"I'm 6ft and 220lb, and the Large size worked out really well for me. The fit is very comfortable and the quality is fantastic."

"I absolutely love these shorts! I bought two pairs a year or two ago, but after losing weight, they no longer fit. I was thrilled to find them again and ordered two more pairs. The colors, fit, and comfort are just perfect!"

"I took a chance on these after trying on many others that didn’t fit right. These shorts arrived just in time for my backpacking trip, and I couldn't be happier! They dried quickly and held up great over 30 miles of hiking, swimming, and cliff jumping. The fit is perfect for my athletic build, and the camo pattern looks fantastic!"

"I’ve been a fan of Quiksilver for a while, and these shorts did not disappoint! They are well made and feel great in the water. The price is very low for this quality, and I appreciate that they fit exactly as sized. Just a small note about the pocket's Velcro—it could be a bit tighter."

"I think these are well worth it! The quality is high and they are super comfortable. I love the lots of pockets and how they look. I'm basically living in them now for summer."

"I bought these for my son, and for the price, they are perfect for the beach! I ordered a size up just in case, and he says they are comfortable and look nice too."

"This is the second one I purchased for my husband. He liked the black so much that I ordered the blue. This suit fits nicely around his ample middle and looks good from the back. The leg length is perfect, and the fabric is nice quality. Highly recommend!"

"I've been incredibly impressed with the Maamgic Mens Swim Trunks. The fit is excellent, and the compression boxer brief liner provides added comfort and support. My son has worn these trunks for extended periods without any discomfort or chafing. The 7-inch inseam offers a good balance of coverage and mobility. The quick-dry material is also a helpful feature, especially for active swimmers. The overall design is stylish and age-appropriate, making them a great choice for any young boy. I highly recommend these trunks to any parent looking for a comfortable and durable swim option for their child."

"I really like these trunks. I'm 6'4" and weigh a tad over 200lbs, and I bought a large. They fit well without being too tight, they are long enough for me, and they feel great. My only downside is that, with the liners, it takes longer to dry than normal board shorts or baggies. But I'm a fan!"

"My husband loves the fit, feel, and color. I ordered 6 different pairs and he loves them all. He was tired of mesh-lined trunks so I got these for him to try and, success!! I love the way they look on him, too. Also like the fun, colorful design choices."
