Hurley One and Only 22-In Boardshort - Comfortable, Quick-Dry Fit fly

In this review of the Hurley One and Only 22-in Boardshort, the bottom line is simple: these shorts are for anyone who wants a soft, longer-cut swim short that feels comfortable in and out of the water. The review finds the main reason to buy is the Supersuede fabric that feels plush and dries quickly, delivering comfortable wear on the beach or in the surf. There are trade-offs: fit can run generous at the waist for some wearers and the fabric may become slightly see-through when wet, but the overall combination of comfort, color, and value is the standout.

Key Features

• Supersuede fabric: Soft recycled polyester material provides a plush handfeel and dries quickly so the shorts stay comfortable after a session in the water.
• Longer 22-in cut: The extended length gives more coverage and a relaxed silhouette for paddling or walking the beach without feeling too short.
• Fixed waistband with drawstring: A secure fit that keeps the shorts in place while allowing easy size adjustment for comfort during active use.
• Patented EZ fly closure: A convenient closure that simplifies getting in and out of the shorts while maintaining a clean front profile.
• Logoed cargo pocket: A practical pocket adds storage for small items and a subtle branded detail that keeps the design streamlined.

Who It's For

These boardshorts suit surfers, swimmers, and beachgoers who prefer a softer, brushed-feel fabric and a longer 22-in length for extra coverage. They are a good pick for someone who values comfort and quick drying over a performance stretch panel; the Supersuede feel also appeals to those who like a more refined look in solid colors.

Shoppers who need a very trim, performance race fit or who are highly sensitive to transparency when wet should look elsewhere. Also, if you normally wear a snug waist size, consider sizing down or trying on first, because some customers reported a roomier fit around the waist.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very soft, recycled Supersuede fabric that feels comfortable against the skin.
• Longer 22-in length provides better coverage for surf and casual wear.
• Quick-drying polyester material that helps the shorts transition from water to land without staying soggy.
• Functional details like the EZ fly closure and logoed cargo pocket add convenience and storage.

Cons

• Fit can run large at the waist for some wearers, so trying a size down may be necessary.
• The fabric may appear slightly see-through when wet, which could concern those wanting full opacity.
