When I was a kid, we made fun of people who would wear short shorts. Now it seems that all swim trunks are super short. Not these. Took these on a solo beach trip, and they were perfect. I had a mini dry bag with a few bucks I'd keep in the pocket for snacks. Since they were so long, it looked like I was wearing normal shorts so when I'd dry off, I could wear them to restaurants as well. I was really happy with this purchase.
