O'NEILL Men's 21 in Solid Boardshorts - Quick Dry Stretch Shoes

In this review of the O'NEILL Men's 21 in Solid Boardshorts the bottom line is simple: these are a dependable pair of swim trunks for men who want comfortable stretch, quick drying, and practical pockets without any fuss. The biggest reason to buy is the combination of Hyperfreak stretch and Hyperdry technology that moves with you and sheds moisture fast, making them a versatile choice for beach days, surfing, or casual pool use.

Key Features

• Hyperfreak Stretch: Fabric stretches in all directions so the shorts move with you during paddling, swimming, or active beach games.
• Hyperdry Quick Dry: DWR treatment and Hyperdry technology reduce dry time so the shorts are comfortable off the water and dry faster between uses.
• Anti-Rash Hyperthread: Construction designed for comfort during extended wear and activity to reduce chafing on wet skin.
• Side Zip Pocket: A zippered side pocket keeps small items secure when walking the boardwalk or sitting in a beach chair.
• 21 in Outseam: The out seam lands just above the knee on most wearers for a modern, versatile length.

Who It's For

The O'NEILL 21 in boardshorts suit men who want a tried-and-true performance swim short with stretch and quick dry properties. Surfers, swimmers and those who move between water and land will appreciate the combination of mobility and fast drying fabric.

Those who prefer a lined brief or a shorter cut should look elsewhere; these are unlined boardshorts with a 21 in outseam and a traditional boardshort style rather than a trunk or short inseam swim brief.
