Swim shorts...which and where?
 

Since I am not comfortable yet hitting the beach in just speedos...I am looking to get some normal swim shorts...get out of these damn heavy/bulky boardshorts.

I tried 2xist when they had the sale. Their Mid-Length Swim Shorts were a nice length...not too long and not too short. They say they are 5.5" inseam and 14" side length. Problem is their patterns are "not me" and the solid looked like old guy shorts :)

Any suggestions on where to get swim shorts like these? And what brands I should look at?

Thanks in advance!

Arena of any interest to you?

(NB: that is the page to go direct but it seems it will not perform and swim shorts should therefore go into "search"on the page)

Thanks Byron...I think I'm looking for non-fitted shorts though. Not ready for fitted.

I also noticed a lot of the "normal" brands...Nike, Addidas, etc are very baggy...looking for something a bit more slim fit, but not fitted.

loose but not baggy...
 

Runner style might be appropriate - not fitted but faux split side design in swimwear is becoming popular.
(have you put mens swim shorts into Google Images to get a starting point on what you might like?)

TonyO919,

Check out the Undergear website. There are some swim shorts by Tactics that might be what you are looking for and they are on clearance now. I bought a couple of pairs last year and have liked them.

I did....none in my size :(

But this is what I am looking for.

TonyO919,

That same thing happened to me with a brief I wanted to order from undergear.
Have you tried Swimoutlet.com or Dickssportinggoods.com?

Here's a site for the traditional (-IE- 1960s vintage) men's gym shorts and swim trunks:

My bf wears this style when he does long open water swims with me. He helps me train for open water races.

He can undo the straps and sun in it.
