Description of Patagonia Wavefarer II Board Short - Men's:
City-bound or seaside, catching the ocean swell or surfing the sidewalk on your longboard, the Patagonia Men's Wavefarer II Board Short does it all in relaxed, comfortable style. This trunk's forward inseam at the crotch won't chafe as you paddle out, and its three-piece, mesh-lined waistband contours to your hip. The angled side pocket drains on its own and lies flat, and features a key clip for worry-free access to your bungalow. The Wavefarer II Board Short's low rise and relaxed fit look just as solid strolling to the stand for a post-session burrito.
Bottom Line: Spend all day in the Patagonia Wavefarer II Board Shorts. You'll forget you're wearing trunks.
I'm dropping my review from 5 to 3 stars, because the new version of these shorts that I just got is not nearly as nice as the older ones. They've gotten rid of the comfy soft web lining to the waistband, and the cut of the shorts is now much bigger, longer, and baggier. Not nearly as comfortable and not nearly as flattering. I don't know if this is a change in style or if Patagonia is giving in to the broadening of American backsides, but it's pretty disappointing. I'm returning the new shorts and will just hope that my old ones, which I love, last forever.
I bought these for my boyfriend and he loves them. He is very picky about his shorts! The only complaint that he has, is that he wishes they hit him right below the knee and they hit him mid knee. He loves them though.
