Hurley One and Only 22-In Boardshort - Comfortable (Style H092)

In this review the Hurley One and Only 22-In Boardshort is evaluated for men seeking a longer, comfortable surf short with a soft handfeel. The bottom line: these boardshorts are for those who want a durable, quick-drying short that still feels broken in from the first wear. The combination of recycled supersuede fabric and a fixed waistband with drawstring makes them especially suited to active beach days where fit and comfort matter most.

Key Features

• Recycled supersuede fabric: provides a soft, suede-like feel that is comfortable against skin while maintaining durability for repeated surf sessions.
• Fixed waistband with drawstring: keeps the shorts secure in the water and allows quick micro-adjustments for a consistent fit during activity.
• Patented EZ fly closure: offers an easy, reliable front closure that simplifies putting the shorts on and taking them off.
• Logoed cargo pocket: gives practical storage for small items and a low-profile, surf-ready look that resists bulk when wet.
• Quick-drying polyester: sheds water faster than heavier fabrics so the shorts dry sooner after leaving the surf or pool.

Who It's For

These boardshorts are best for men who prefer a longer 21-22 in leg length for extra coverage while paddling or riding waves, and who value a soft, broken-in feel without sacrificing performance. The fabric choice and features suit frequent surfers, beachgoers, and anyone who wants a dependable short for water and casual wear.

Those who want extremely lightweight competition-style trunks or a highly technical performance stretch fabric for tight-fitting compression should look elsewhere; the supersuede material emphasizes comfort and feel over minimal weight or maximum stretch.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft recycled supersuede delivers comfort comparable to a worn-in short right away.
• Secure fit from the fixed waistband and drawstring, suitable for active water use.
• Practical logoed cargo pocket gives discreet storage without excess bulk.
• Quick-drying polyester construction reduces sogginess after surf sessions.

Cons

• Longer 21-22 in cut may be too heavy for those who prefer minimal, ultra-light boardshorts.
• Supersuede feel prioritizes comfort over high-stretch performance for aggressive maneuvers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these boardshorts quick-drying?
Yes, the polyester supersuede material is designed to dry faster than traditional heavy fabrics, reducing soggy wear after surf sessions.

Do they stay secure while surfing?
Yes, the fixed waistband with drawstring and the EZ fly closure work together to keep the shorts secure during active water use.

Is the fabric stretchy for tight maneuvers?
The supersuede emphasizes comfort and softness over high-stretch compression, so it is less stretchy than performance-specific boardshort fabrics.
