For some reason, unlike on the model, the leg part is so short that it looks like a wide granny bikini bottom more than a boyshort, maybe it's because the leg part sort of rolls up on me, I'm a small and the shorts fit me fine. I think if it fits you well, and you like this style, it's a good short, but for me, it sort of feels strange. This is all personal preference, the bikini bottom is a decently well made bottom and should last a season of swimming.
