Great fit.
Feels good to swim in. Not too skimpy that you feel like a geeky nerd, and not too much that you have a big, full bag of wet stuff to take home after swimming.
Personally, I think the "boy short" design is the best looking - but then I am European after all!

Some wear/pilling occurred on the buttocks after a couple months, but to no large detriment - they didn't get any thinner through wear and tear - just the surface texture got a bit bobbly where you sit.

So good that I ordered another pair. Been using them for over six months now.
Be careful ordering size though. I am a 30-inch waist size so ordered the medium (I often wear small-sized clothes) - but had to send back for the large, as they fit way too small.
You don't want to be squeezing that part of your anatomy!!
