Best Boardshorts Ever
January 07, 2012
I bought these shorts for an upcoming trip to Hawaii... Great decision! While I typically would just pick up whatever was cheapest I decided to splurge a bit for a quality pair of board shorts. The shorts are really well made. You can see from looking at the stiching and overall design of the shorts that a lot of thought went into them. My favorite features: Button Fly: I hate velcro which can chaf, bunch awkwardly, and catch the drawstring in them. The button fly eliminates this problem entirely. Zippered Pocket: We've all worried about losing something out of our pocket (especially swimming) and this solves that problem. Interior Liner: I've never had a liner on my swimsuits and I just may not be able to go back. It's the next level in comfort. Weight/Density: Often a swimsuit is so thin it can feel like nothing is there which is great in the water but not so much walking around town. Between the liner and quality material used it feels like you are wearing something of substance that feels appropriate out in public as well as in the water.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Great value, Cons: CostDid you recently buy the Patagonia Paddler Board Shorts? Write a review.

The item description sums these up pretty well. Very comfy, fast drying, durable and practical. Sizing was a tiny bit on the smaller side but still worked just fine for me.
Great Board Shorts

These board shorts are the most comfortable swimsuit I've ever owned. The fit is perfect and the draw-string waist keeps them in place. The fabric sheds water well and dries quickly when it does get wet. I also own a pair of Patagonia Wavefarer Board Shorts and the liner in the Paddler Board Shorts does help with chaffing if you're moving a lot.
Pros: Build qualityLike the feel not crazy about the style.

They flare out some at the bottom, don't hang straight like most other board shorts.
