Hurley One and Only 22-In Boardshort - Comfortable Supersuede Fit Rear

In this review the Hurley One and Only 22-in Boardshort is evaluated for surfers and beachgoers who want a soft, comfortable short in a longer 22-in cut. The biggest reason to buy is the Supersuede recycled fabric that offers a suede-like feel while drying quickly and holding color, making these boardshorts a reliable choice for regular surf sessions or casual days at the beach. The review covers fit, construction and practical features like the rear flap pocket and EZ Fly closure to judge real-world wear and security.

Key Features

• Supersuede recycled fabric: Provides a soft, suede-like hand and quick drying that feels comfortable against the skin after time in the water.
• 22-in length: A longer cut that gives extra coverage and works especially well for taller men or anyone who prefers more thigh coverage.
• Rear flap pocket: Secure storage keeps small items safe while active, with a flap to help prevent loss during movement.
• EZ Fly closure: A secure front closure designed to stay fastened through surf and activity for superior security compared with basic snaps.
• Fixed waistband with drawstring: Combines a stable fit with adjustable tension so the shorts stay comfortable throughout a day of beach activities.

Who It's For

The Hurley One and Only 22-in Boardshort is best for men who value a soft, premium feel from a recycled fabric and want the extra length for modesty or a balanced look on taller frames. It suits regular surfers and beach users who appreciate a secure pocket and a reliable closure when they are active.

Those who prefer ultra-lightweight, fast-draining technical swim fabrics or very short boardshorts may want to look elsewhere; the Supersuede material prioritizes comfort and color integrity over the sheer lightness of some technical blends.

Pros & Cons

Cons
