Hurley One and Only 22in Boardshort for Men - Supersuede Comfort

Our review of the Hurley One and Only 22in Boardshort for Men finds it is best suited for someone after comfortable, longer-cut swimwear that works in and out of the water. The single biggest reason to buy is the soft recycled Supersuede fabric and 22in length that together deliver solid coverage and a comfortable fit for taller surfers or beachgoers who prefer a little extra leg. This review looks at real features, how they perform on the sand and in the surf, and what to expect from fit, fabric and pockets.

Key Features

• Supersuede fabric: Soft recycled polyester offers a comfortable, near-suede hand feel that dries quickly after a swim.
• 22in longer cut: The extended length gives more coverage and a balanced silhouette for taller wearers or those who prefer modesty in the surf.
• Fixed waistband with drawstring: A secure fit is easy to dial in with the drawstring while the fixed waistband keeps the shorts stable during activity.
• Cargo pocket: Hook-and-loop close flap cargo pocket on the right leg keeps small items secure when you are off the board.
• Durable construction: All polyester build resists quick wear and maintains color, so repeated exposure to sun and salt keeps the shorts looking good.

Who It's For

The Hurley One and Only 22in is aimed at men who want versatile beachwear that transitions from the water to casual wear. It suits surfers, swimmers and anyone who prefers a longer boardshort length for additional coverage and a contemporary look.

Those who want a very tailored or athletic fit may need to size differently, since customer feedback shows mixed impressions of fit; if you prefer very short trunks or need rapid-drying technical stretch, consider alternatives designed for performance swimming rather than Supersuede comfort.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, recycled Supersuede material gives a premium feel and fast drying compared with heavier fabrics.
• 22in length provides comfortable coverage and suits taller users well.
• Functional cargo pocket and fixed waistband with drawstring add practical, everyday use features.

Cons

• Fit runs mixed for some customers, so sizing up or trying on is recommended for those between sizes.
• No mention of inner brief or elasticized stretch means it may not match the fit of specialized performance swim trunks for high-intensity use.
