Very cool pants, high quality. The first swim trucks I have worn that I haven’t cut the net out of. Only issue is my own fault, I forgot that I lost a lot of weight recently and so the size I bought is probably at least 2 sizes larger than I need, so this is your reminder to pay attention to the sizing guide to get the right fit as this is definitely a pants you will keep for a long time.

Turns out, hot tubs kills the hydrophase. The strap isn't as robust as the old water block trunks and as a weekly paddle boarder prefer that one over this new one. The netting on the hydros is better and the pockets + zippers are nicer but it's too loose of a fit and makes this pair look like a beta to the waterblocks alpha. Still work to be done to make it good enough for mainstream. It does also suck that they were discounted so soon from launch when I paid full price but I assume it's due to the above reasons.

Sizes are spot on and the product is made of high quality! Loving it! 😃

Good quality swim trunks for what you pay for. Design is super cool and does as is advertised.

This is admittedly my fault, but the cool water-reactive pattern stuff only lasted a single use for me. I didn't think much of it and dried it with all my other clothing on a low heat and now none of the reactive stuff shows up. So really just feel like I spent a ton of money for basic swim shorts now. I feel like product page should have made it way more clear that would happen. From what I can tell there is no mention that this is a risk. It does say do not machine dry, but so does every clothing product ever. So overall to me product is a major dissapointmnet.
