Hurley One and Only 22-In Boardshort - Comfortable Long Cut for Surf

In this review the Hurley One and Only 22-In Boardshort is judged on comfort, coverage and everyday surf performance. The bottom line: these boardshorts are aimed at men who want a longer 21-22 in cut with soft, quick-drying fabric that feels like a premium suede without the weight. The review finds they deliver excellent on-surf comfort and casual wearability thanks to recycled Supersuede polyester, a fixed waistband with drawstring for a secure fit and a logoed cargo pocket for small essentials.

Key Features

• Supersuede fabric: Soft, recycled polyester material offers a suede-like hand feel while shedding water quickly for rapid drying after a session.
• Longer 21-22 in cut: Extended length provides extra coverage in and out of the water and reduces ride-up during active use.
• Fixed waistband with drawstring: A stable waist construction plus drawstring keeps the shorts secure during turns and paddling.
• Logoed cargo pocket: External pocket stores small essentials like keys or wax and adds practical storage without bulk.
• Solid, versatile design: Clean styling works equally well for surf, beach days, or casual summer wear.

Who It's For

These boardshorts suit men who prioritize comfort and coverage over a shorter, race-style trunk. Surfers who want a softer feel and quicker drying from a polyester Supersuede will appreciate the material and the longer 21-22 in length when sitting in the line-up or moving through the shore break.

They are less appropriate for swimmers who need maximal stretch for lap swimming or for those seeking minimalist, very short boardshorts. Riders who prefer a back-zip pocket or aggressive technical features should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Fixed waistband with drawstring creates a secure, easy-to-adjust fit for paddling and beach use.

Cons

• Not aimed at competitive swimmers or those wanting high-compression, highly technical swimwear.
