First Florence item I’ve been disappointed with. The outer layer becomes see through when it gets wet, which is pretty surprising for a short that’s meant to be worn in the water. The compression shorts are also way too long, like others have mentioned, and have to be hiked up so they don’t show.
Not sure how these pretty basic issues made it through the “test pilots.” I’d go with the Airtex Cordura or Airtex Gamma if you want a solid boardshort. These were a miss for me.

Awesome shorts — I do wish the liner was shorter and so have taken scissors all three pair that I do own. The material is ultralight but also very transparent when wet. Would love to see shorter liner/brief and the red hawaiian camo as an option.

These boardshorts are awesome. I'm not a pro anything water related. Super stretchy super quick to dry. I wish they were longer and the leg opening could be a bit roomier. They're definitely a modern cut which is fine. Being in them in and out if the water all day I was eventually glad to change but I think that's with anything but the built in liner is super tight so that may also be it. I'm 6 foot 1 about 185 190lbs I bought a 32 and it fits pretty good. Probably could get a 31 but idk if I could get into them. Overall love them and would buy again if they were a little roomier i would be buying now.
