Great Beach Shorts
March 26, 2012

Love the these Patagonia board shorts! Great quality, design and fit. It's the best beach shorts for all activities. Easily worn thru out the day. Only beach shorts you'll need...ever!

good stuff

good quality, good price, prompt shipping and easily adjustable for the fit - and best of all, they sorta/kinda go with my keone nunes long sleeve rash guard

Patagonia board shorts
January 07, 2012

I live in these in the summer. They dry ridiculously fast and I wear them way more than I should, almost like kakhi shorts. I live in Chicago so I only get to wear them a few months of the year but I wear them 90% of that time. Fit true to size and are really durable. It's Patagonia, it ain't cheap but it lasts. You gotta pay to play.

The only boardshort you need
December 26, 2011

I own a few pairs of these, since they never seem to wear out. Over the past several years, Patagonia has made small but valuable design improvements primarily relating to the closure. They ultimately did away with velcro, which means that they are durable, and won't scratch you. They are just a solid pair of boardshorts that work well enough to enable you forget about them, and concentrate on surfing, swimming, etc. Really, the only boardshot you will ever need, I can't recommend them highly enough. Cons are minor and would include occasional size inconsistency and the fact that they may not be long enough for some folks used to below the knee shorts.

Awesome

These are my third pair of wavefarers, and the only reason I got this pair, was so that I could wash my other pairs in between. I wear boardshorts everyday, and these are durable enough to walk through any brush to a far away break but nice enough to wear to the bar after surfing. I've got red, black, and the blue pattern, and all are great. No chafeage and still feel like new. One of my pairs is over five years old and still going strong. A good buy and backed by Patagonia's awesome repair warranty.

Best boardshorts ever!
November 14, 2011

I have boardshorts from just about every manufacturer and the Wavefarer are my favorite. The fit is true, the quality is exceptional, these are the most durable boardshorts I have. This is my second pair of wavefarer, the first pair are still doing the job, I just loved this sedimentary design so I copped them too. Buy them

Patagonia Surf Trunks
September 26, 2011

Best surf trunks in the whole world. Bomb proof and comfortable and the best customer service in the industry. Never fades and grows on you. I wear mine for surfing and all around.

Great price, fast deliver, love the web site. High quality...seems durable over time...great look and fit. Fits true to size. Would not size up cause waist loosens up a bit when wet...draw string fly takes care of it.

solid construction

The patigonia board shorts are great quality and fit. As usual patigonia makes their products to last. At full price the item is a little costly, but on sale a great bang for you buck.

Patagonia Board Shorts - Great, but too long
September 01, 2011

I like the style of these board shorts, but return this version for the minimalist board shorts. I felt the 21 inch were a bit long. I am 6'1" and still thought they hung to low on the knee. Also, I am a thinner guy and felt this length was a bit boxy.

The new classic
August 06, 2011

well maybe not so new.....but new to me. WOW-these are great. I was on the fence about these -I thought they might be expensive and not sure how they would fit. Proved me wrong 2x!!! They fit AMAZING, and well worth every penny. Live in Florida., always at the beach,always hot here- they dry super fast,qualityin their build, and family friendly-(they dont "show the goods" if you catch my drift........yeah)- Perfect. Some people live in jeans-noway-this is where its at! You will have these for many years-Cheers!

Great fit, great performance!
July 22, 2011

These swimming trunks are a great fit and they are comfortable, easy to move in, and dry pretty quickly. I like the length - not too short and not too long. They run true to size. I'm a fan of all the patterns too because they look sweet with a tee shirt in the summer. The funkier, the better! :)

Cool Boardshorts!!

True fit board shorts. I have been buying these shorts for 5+ years and my old ones, although faded, are comfortable and maintain their original fit. Durable and long lasting. Would recommend

Great All Around Shorts
June 27, 2011

I wear these all summer up at the lake. Great in the water or just sitting on the boat fishing. Fit is a little smaller so if your a larger guy order a size up.

Great Shorts
June 22, 2011

These shorts are high-quailty and comfortable. They fit well however mine tend to become larger in the waist when wet. They dry fast and have a lower drag than most boardshorts. Overall, its a great product.

Best board shorts I've purchased
June 17, 2011

I just bought these board shorts for a trip to Florida. They fit great, dry quickly, and look terrific. I wore them in the water and just lounging around. Don't buy these too big. Choose your actual waist size.

Great Boardshorts
June 11, 2011

As you know with patagonia products, the quality is there. I use these shorts everywhere and everyday. The are more durable than most of the boardshorts out there and i haven't ripped them climbing over and around jetties getting to surf spots and fishing. These haven't faded at all. I have two pairs of patagonia boardshorts that i wear 5 out the the 7 days a week during the summer. These shorts get the seal of approval. These shorts are not stretchy like a pair of phantoms from hurley, and that could be my only conceivable con. if you want stretchy, get the wave-farer boardshorts that are stretchy. You will probably pay a bit more for these shorts than your average quiksilver/billabong trunks, but these will last a lot longer. After a couple days of being in the salt water, they kind of stand up on their own, but if your are just going to jump back in the surf, who cares, but wash them before going to the bar though.

Great Swimsuit
May 31, 2011

This swimsuit is close to perfect. The material is light but seems strong. The DWR coating is great for being on the water because the shorts stay dry around boat spray and dry really quickly after swimming. I'm 6'4" and weigh about 200lbs and usually wear a 33" or 34" waist. I got the 33" waist originally thinking they would be better small rather than large and returned them and got the 34" and they fit a lot better. Great shorts for the price, especially when you get them on an Altrec's sale.

Patagonia Quality

I love these board shorts! They are just what I was looking for. I will definitely be ordering another pair in the near future. I am amazed at how quick they become dry after being in the water.

Nice Board Shorts
May 20, 2011

Patagonia is nice stuff and worth the money. True to size - I'm a 33, and it fits perfect. This is my third pair - they just wear forever (and I"m really, really tough on my clothes)! The length, waste, material, and color are all great and exactly as listed in Altrec description.

best shorts
May 18, 2011

Patagonia makes some of the best shorts available. The company is environmentally-proactive and their warranty is best in the business. Clean, minimalist, styling shorts perform great in the water and look great out of the water. I suggest ordering true to size as it is difficult to tighten waistband. For instance, I wear 34" in pants but ordered a 33" in the wavefarer.

Great Features, Odd Cut
May 18, 2011

These board shorts are well made, have a button fly, a zippered side pocket that drains and small loops that keep the "shoelace" waist band tie in place. I like everything about them except the cut/shape. It's hard to describe, but they're "blousey" in the rear end. I know they're just board shorts, but the cut is definitely different than several other common brands. My girlfriend does not like them, so I'll probably return them.

These shorts are great!! Ive had several pair and they fit great and dry fast. A must have for anyone seeking watersports or a beach lifestyle. Get some today!

Excellent, versatile shorts
May 15, 2011

I purchased these shorts before a trip to the Keys and they were perfect for fishing, swimming and moving around on land. They dry extremely fast and are quite comfortable. Overall these are the best board shorts I've owned and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Excellent

These trunks are very well made, fit well, and look good. I have even considered buying a second pair. I look forward to taking these trunks on vacation.

Good chillaxing swim trousers
May 06, 2011

I would fully recommend these shorts because they are sturdy fabric that dries quickly, the pocket is decent size, and most importantly they are a baggy fit without being huge like many other board shorts. I may just get another pair!

Fast drying and Good looking!
April 18, 2011

We love these shorts.... They are great looking, durable, comfortable and dry very quickly! Love that Patagonia does so much with recycled products...(though not necessarily these). They also machine wash and dry easily.

Best swim trunks ever!
September 28, 2010

I love these swim trunks! They are the perfect thickness. Not flimsy like most swim trunk material. They are slightly water repellant...meaning they don't aborb water and get drenched. Quick to dry. The length is perfect. You need to get the right size, though, because although they have a string to tighten them, it does not go all the way around and there is no button. Also, there are no inner net underwear, like many swim trunks have, but I can live with that. Really, it's all about the look, and these trunks look great!

Great Stuff as always!
September 02, 2010

Never disappointed in quality of merchandise.

Awesome shorts very comfortable great style....have got a ton of complements and questions typical patagonia product

Fits perfect, looks great
July 27, 2010

These shorts fit my husband perfectly and are made really well. The Free Lei: Henna Brown style looks great!

Yup, just what I was looking for
July 23, 2010

quick drying, non-baggy cut, single zippered pocket, good stitching, solid fabric, simple styling, done deal. Size was larger than expected, out of the box they hit below the knee, but after the wash they hit just above the knee and are a perfect now.

great shorts, will order another pair
July 05, 2010

I've worn these almost every day since getting them. Very comfortable and light and they look and wear great. I'm just checking out the other colors to see which ones to order next.

Great shorts!
May 27, 2010

I spent a weekend at the lake and loved them! They dry out quick and are light when wet. The fit is comfortable, all is good!

Loved 'em!
May 10, 2010

Ordered these for my very active son and he loves them. He's pretty picky about his outdoor gear and I knew Patagonia was one of his favorite brands. I'm sure I'll be seeing them on him throughout the summer.

Great

Taking these board shorts to a trip to Australia and New Zealand. I have no doubt they will be great. Look and feel incredible. The way all board shorts should.

Men's Wavefarer Boardshorts -- The best I've ever owned!
March 02, 2010

I bought the Patagonia Wavefarer Boardshorts (21 in -- length hits right above the knee) Nimbus Palm Leaf about a week before our vacation to St. Croix. I broke out the shorts as soon as we arrived. They were excellent! They wore true to fit size, are well made like all Patagonia items are and after being in the ocean snorkling, scuba diving and swiming in the pool they dried out extremely fast and had no residual smell. Additionally, the pocket on the side was perfect for putting a wallet while walking around or a ring in during the water activities. I would highly recommend these shorts after I searched for several days. You will not go wrong with them!!

Excellent
