Work in progress, but cool trunks overall
The concept of almost entirely recycled materials and fair trade is my number one reason for purchasing these trunks at the price point. Those factors are a commendable feat. The taped seams, while streamlined, came apart almost immediately after about 8 surf sessions. The back pocket is perfectly located in that it positions my wallet higher up for more comfort when driving. The streamlined pocket zipper was a good call. The outerknown logo on the pocket is really cool but fades away quickly since it’s made of the same seam tape material. Consider embroidering that onto the shorts to really make them an unavoidable surfing purchase and so they scream “QUALITY” The minute one sees them. Now mine look like they could be a cheap costco brand of surf trunks without the logo. The drawstring is great and the embroidered loops appear to be holding up. My biggest concern at this point it that the seams will come unstuck and a wipeout will blow these shorts off my butt. Fingers crossed.

My partner loves these
They’re perfect what more can you say. I read the reviews and it’s like these swim trunks do your taxes for you they’re so good. I didn’t believe it but my partner loves them and now won’t wear any other swim trunks that he owns

Next level design, build, and materials
Fit is perfect for me, but I'm a slender dude. Like others said, these probably won't fit husky types very well. I am a 36 in all pants and the waist fits just as I hoped. Length is somewhere in between modern short boardshorts and early 2000's baggy, top-of-the-knee fit. Apex shorts are like 3/4 of the way down my thigh, but I'm tall. What stands out about these shorts is primarily the material and welded seams. As you look closer, it is the lack of extra material that makes these stand out. No stitches anywhere, minimal material overlap makes for a featherweight feel. The waistband is the only part that has a double layer of fabric, but that extra stiffness makes it work just right. The tags are sewn in a spot where it is very easy to remove them with a seam ripper (just be careful and do no use scissors or razor, get a seam ripper if you don't have one).

Best ever surf shorts
My boys love them and think they are the best. Material is high quality. Quick dry. Comfortable. 5 stars ⭐️
