Product Insights
Salty Crew's Colour Block Boardshort ($80 CAD, in stock) prioritizes paddling performance with an unlined shell that removes internal friction and chafing, a lace fly that eliminates pressure points from rigid closures, and an elastic waistband with drawcord for a secure yet non-restrictive fit. The 8-inch inseam allows full leg bend without restriction but sits above the knee, suiting athletic builds while running short for taller wearers. Care requires rinsing in fresh water after use, washing cold in a mesh bag with mild sport detergent (no fabric softener or bleach), and air drying in the shade to protect spandex from heat damage. The open back pocket can hold small items on land but is not secure during swimming.
Verified claims
- Rinsing
- Rinse boardshorts in fresh water immediately after ocean or pool use.
- Washing
- Wash cold in a mesh bag with mild sport detergent; avoid fabric softener and bleach.
- Drying
- Air dry in the shade; dryer heat above 60°C permanently damages spandex.
- Liner
- The unlined design removes the inner mesh liner, cutting weight and friction points so the stretch shell moves independently over the skin.
- Unlined construction
- Unlined shell reduces friction and chafing during paddling.
- Inseam length
- 8-inch inseam allows full leg bend without restriction.
- Lace fly
- Lace fly eliminates pressure points from rigid closures during paddling.
- Elastic waistband
- Elastic waist with drawcord provides secure, non-restrictive fit.
- Inseam cut
- 8-inch inseam sits above the knee for full mobility; suits athletic builds, runs short for tall.
- Waist sizing
- Waist sizes 30–32 with fixed 8-inch inseam; choose by waist measurement regardless of height.
- Comfort design
- Unlined shell, laced fly, elastic waist minimize friction and pressure for comfort.
- Back pocket
- Open back pocket can hold small items on land but not during swimming.
- Lace fly adjustability
- The laced fly is fully functional and can be tightened or loosened; it works with the drawcord waist for a customizable fit.
- Chlorine and saltwater resistance
- The fabric is not specifically treated for chlorine or saltwater resistance, but its quick-dry material naturally withstands both.
- Inseam length standard
- The 8-inch inseam is short for boardshorts; typical standard lengths run 10 to 12 inches.

Compared within this brand.
| Colour Block Boardshort: Choose this if you want quick-dry, stretchy boardshorts (90% nylon, 10% spandex) in a mid-length, above-the-knee cut with an 8 inch inseam, an adjustable drawcord waist, and a back flap pocket with a drainage grommet. It's a good pick for a color-blocked green design with a blue side panel and minimal branding. Note that these shorts have no lining, so consider that if you prefer a lined swim suit.[1,2,3] | Little Fish Swim Trunk: Choose this for a mid-length swim trunk with a 7 inch (18 cm) inseam, made of quick-dry stretch fabric that blends recycled polyester, polyester, cotton, and 8 percent spandex. It suits swimmers who prefer a drawcord-adjustable elastic waist, side slit pockets plus a Velcro back patch pocket, and a trompe-l'oeil fly with an all-over fish print in Navy/Midnight Blue. Note that it has no lining, so it may feel less suited to those who want a lined suit.[4,5,6] | Faded Solid Swim Trunk: Choose this if you want quick-dry swim trunks with stretch (92% polyester, 8% spandex), a drawcord-adjustable elastic waist, and a mid-thigh cut with a 7-inch inseam, in Black or Blue from small to x-large. Note that the trunks are unlined and the fly is trompe-l'oeil, meaning it is decorative rather than a functional opening. Pockets include vertical slit pockets at the sides and a Velcro flap patch pocket at the back.[7,8,9,10] |
