Admittedly, Quiksilver is one of my husband's favorite brands for their fit, their functionality, their style, and their durability.  And these shorts have luckily been no exception.  We love that they're long enough as board shorts (but not weird man-pri length, and my husband has short legs).  They dry fast out of the water.  He finds them comfortable - the fabric has just enough stretch for movement, but not so much that they don't hold their shape/appearance.

And they're super American.  Maybe we're cheesy people, but we like that!
