Quiksilver Men's Manic 22" Board Shorts

Wonderful swimming shorts! Very comfortable, dry quick and nice fit👍. Can't be more satisfied with the purchase.

These board shorts are very good quality and lightweight too. Quicksilver is a brand that never disappoints. The price was reasonable for the performance quality of the shorts, it was $44.00 I like how it has a Velcro fly too as well as the four point tie drawstring at the front. These shorts fit very true to size and I wear a 35"-36" and I have plenty of room to loosen or tighten them as I desire. It has drain holes in the pockets too for rapid water evacuation. I'm completely satisfied with the purchase.

I loved the shorts great quality good looking.

I mostly like the design of these shorts, and they work fairly well for wakeboarding. The material is very fast drying, and the fit is good for water sport use. I also like the fact that it is not necessary to wear compression shorts under these. One downside is that these can cut into your abdomen when seated if you have them cinched pretty tight (due to the stiff material used for the fly). I also purchased Xerosposure Brand Street 2 Swim hybrid board shorts from Amazon at the same time I purchased these Quicksilver Shorts. The "Street 2 Swim" shorts were very similar to the Quicksilver version, but actually were approximately 20% cheaper. The Street 2 Swim shorts have more pockets, and have belt loops so they are a more versatile short to wear off water. The material on the Quicksilver shorts also has a stiff/slick feel which I do not like as much as the other shorts, and makes it obvious that these are swim wear if you intend to wear them anywhere besides the beach/lake. The Quicksilver drawstring is outside the waistband (like most board shorts), which makes them a little easier to cinch up tight for watersports, but the internal drawstring on the S2S shorts makes them less conspicuous as swimwear. The Quicksiver shorts are a better straight-up wakeboard short, but for the price and versatility I prefer the S2S version. The S2S shorts also have a snap button closure on the waistband which is quite handy. The Quicksilver shorts just have the drawstring and a Velcro fly. (I have also found a similar Valor brand Hybrid board short on Amazon that is considerably cheaper than the Quicksilver version, and has a zipper fly.) The sizing is pretty true on these shorts - I typically wear a 34 waist in jeans/pants, and the 34 in these fits fine. Personally, I also like the black/gray camo color pattern, and these do not seem like they are likely to fade. All in all, these are a really good board short, but I can't justify the additional price paid just for the Quicksilver label on the back.

I spend a day at the local mall trying on various board shorts from many brands. They all fit like they were meant for women, I guess this is the new style? My legs would not even fit through the shorts that matched my waist size, and there was no room for my gentlemen parts. I guess I'm getting old... I took a chance and ordered these, they arrived the day before my backpacking trip. I couldn't be happier with them. The fabric dries quick and is tough. I hiked over 30 miles in them with lots of swimming, sitting, and cliff jumping in between. They held up great. The pockets are very useful and the right side pocket contains a lanyard for hooking your keys, etc. For reference, I have an athletic build, 6ft @ 180lbs. My waist is generally between 31 - 32. The fit is perfect. I ordered the 32. There is slight room in the waist, which can be adjusted a little bit with the drawstring. These fit my waist exactly as they should. The length was good too, they sat just a little lower than the middle of my knee. Not too "gangsta", yet not as girly as all the stuff I tried at the mall. They look great and the camo pattern is a really good looking black type camo. I'll be buying more of these!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Thick material, and great fitting. True to size.

I fall right between a sz 36 & 38, so I ordered in a 38. These were TIGHT!! I'd suggest going up at least one size, possibly to if you like a little room for things to move around. Nice shorts but doesn't do any good if they don't fit.

First, board-shorts are not supposed to have netting or elastic. That stuff is for people who go to the beach and sit around in the sun. What a waste of time. An elastic is just not going to hold your shorts in place in a wipe out, and netting... Well, I don't even know what that is for. These fit exactly as sized. They look big first, but fit well. They are well made and feel good in the water. The only complaint I have is that the Velcro in the pocket has a gap in the middle. The gap looks like it is too small for a key to come out but I would like to have no doubt. When you go out surfing you like to leave everything in the car and just carry a key. That pocket needs to be bulletproof. So I'll add the piece that is missing. Its not a big deal. Other than that these shorts are awesome. The price is very low for shorts of this quality.

I wear a 34 in everything and not a tight fit at all. I bought a 34 in these shorts and can't even get the velcro fly together. It's more like a 32 or 31.

Soft, durable and I love the length.

No disappointments here! Fit and finish is exactly what you would expect from Quicksilver. Happy customer!
