This is exactly what I was searching for in a swimshorts. Lightweight. No pockets. Very little resistance.Quality looks and feels good. Elastic waistband is just right and the drawstring provides the needed tightness to keep the shorts from slipping on pullouts after turns.

Great pair of drag shorts. Also works as a pair of “trunks” when I go out on the water with family or friends, rather than wearing a racing suit. No pockets, though, except a coin pocket inside.

These are fitness swim trunks for lap swimmers, they are not beach shorts.I’m a bigger guy swimming for fitness. I can’t stand the drag and bunching of typical men’s trunks or board shorts while swimming laps. But I don’t want to wear jammers or swim briefs (speedos). These are the perfect in-between. They have very little drag, a short inseam that covers just enough, and are thin and short enough that they don’t bunch up in your crotch. Also, they don’t have side pockets that balloon out and cause drag.I’ve looked for other alternatives and they aren’t out there. Don’t hesitate to buy.

These trunks are very comfortable, great for lap swimming. Unfortunately, after using them in an indoor salt-water pool for a few months, the black trunks I bought originally are now light grey.

I received this bathing suit in a ziplock style package. When I opened the baggy I found the suit covered in some type of hair. I thought at first maybe it was just a few, but then I looked further inside to find these hairs completely covering the suit inside and out. Thanks for the used bathing suit. Absolutely disgusting!

I'm a master's swimmer, training four days a week in a chlorine swimming pool, mostly outdoors. I have been struggling for a long time to find comfortable training swim pants that are not as revealing as briefs or jammers, but which are not heavy or restrictive in any way. And at long last I found these!PROS:Very good fit (true to size)Very comfortableNon-revealingSuper, super light - it's like swimming naked!Unnoticeable dragDurable (I have been swimming in mine for more than four monts; no fading or change in texture)Super quick dryingCONSThe only thing is perhaps the shiny material, together with the style/shape that makes it look like satin pajamas. I will probably not wear these at the beach or at a swimming pool party (who would in any training pants?), but I don't feel ashamed a bit to wear them in public for training (at the swimming squad, gym, etc.)

When they are new, everything seems to be fine. They are definitely comfortable and no constriction like other swimwear.Eventually, they fail with two problems.One issue is fading. Other users mentioned that as well a lot. And I think that the product was holding to color better six years ago. Please refer to the picture with the waistband and white string. You can still see some original color (blue), the rest is greyish blue. That was just from 6 trips to the public swimming pool.The second issue is rubber bands from the inner lining, that go around the legs. They are breaking apart eventually. It's actually not a regular braided elastic band, it's just a black rubber band. If it were the braided elastic band (as most of the swimwear has), it would be fine for much longer. Please refer to the pictures.Rated it 4 because there is no alternative to this particular style.

The swim trunks run small. I have a 34” waiste and the large fits best. The shorts are light weight, dry fast and are comfortable to swim in. After wearing them in a saltwater pool for a couple of weeks, the color started to fade. After a month, the color blue has turned to grayish blue. They are still functional, just look very faded.

I didn't buy it through Amazon, but have had these shorts for nearly 2 years now. I'm 5'10 and 195lbs. I think by the sizing chart, most people my size would go for the XL, but past experience with other swim shorts, a tighter fit actually makes you look better. So I went with large and am happy with the fit and look. I actually think it looks good on me!Functionally, it works great for lap swimming. It's advertized as adding resistance, but I don't really notice. Although the only other shorts I use for lap swimming are Uzzi's, which are bulky looking compared to these TYR's. Aesthetically, it looks nice. I'm not the most in shape guy, but the cut and material of these shorts and how it lays on my body really helps me to actually look good lol. Not really into the tight biker shorts or banana hammocks, but also not into board shorts for lap swimming , even if they are the shorter varity and not the ridiculously long ones that go to your knee caps.I got the black, navy blue and royal blue. I mostly use the black and navy blue as I am somewhat conservative. The royal blue looks a bit too lively for my taste. The material is thin and silky, which is good! I almost don't notice them on me, very comfortable. I haven't had problems with fading and I lap swim 5 to 7 days a week 2000 to 4000 yards a day. I do rinse them out in the shower each time and wash in the machine. Also, I only have these two shorts for the past couple years, so they see heavy use and have held up great. I am now buying another set as a "just in case". Would highly recommend these shorts.

My waist size is 34” and in swimwear I always buy a 36” waist. I tried the TYR 100% nylon suit several years ago as I didn’t want the usual nylon/spandex combination. I have several pairs of their 4” nylon trainer/water polo suits and love them so I thought I would try this 100% nylon swim short/Resistance Short. The fit is great with enough room around the legs like a short of this type should be. The fabric is very thin but it has the inner liner and when it is wet you cannot see through the suit. This is great for training like their other 4” trainer suit. It does have the draw string so if you are diving into the water it won’t slip down or off. In certain situations the elastic waist bad would be enough but if you are in the surf at the ocean I would definitely use the draw string to keep is secure. This suit would be for people that like to swim but feel the 4” training suit reveals too much. So far the quality looks and feels good like other TYR suit but time will tell how they hold up. At least with this suit if I decide to buy more they come in other colors.
