Easy dry swim shorts

Bought these in green as I bought the blue last year for my husband. He’s not worn them yet but I know they are a good fit and dry really quickly. Good price too.

Have most of the colour range, they did change the style slightly, these new ones appear to be slightly smaller, have peg tags that are not needed though.

Men's swim shorts

The material feels soft and they look good on but they crease easily compared to those previously purchased over the last 10 years.
