Tormenter Waterman 5 Pocket Boardshorts

I used them for swimming 4 days straight in Mexico in the pool and ocean. I love the fit, length, and design.There is no liner and I like it that way. When swimming in the ocean I always wear tight speedo shorts underneath so I don’t get chaffing on my legs. Saltwater does that to me. For the pool it’s fine without the base layer as long as you don’t mind going commando.Haven’t used for fishing yet but looking forward to wearing in the kayak and using the pliers pocket while standing up.Love all the pockets. Plenty of room for wallet, keys, phone, etc while walking around.One picture shows how the material shrunk and embroidery did not. Mine have had no shrinking at all. I also didn’t put it in the dryer after washing. It’s swimsuit type material so it line dries pretty quickly.

Nice feel not cheaply made. Looks Great and lots of pockets

I'm really happy with my purchase of these board shorts. I've been searching for the right board shorts for awhile now that check all my boxes. Finally my search is over, these are the ones. Very comfortable soft inner fabric they don't chaf your skin. Plenty of pockets for everything which is exactly what I wanted. Heavy duty Velcro front closure and lace front tie. I was a little concerned the 38 would be to big because I usually take a 36 but the 38 fit perfectly. They are a little on the baggy side but that's ok lots of room for movement. The price was very reasonable considering all the features and quality and workmanship in these board shorts.

These board shorts run small. I wear a 36 waist in everything I wear, had to size up for these. Otherwise great board shorts. Well built. Plenty of pockets

Good fit and finish. I have another pair from this company and like them as well- that’s really why I bought these. Did not disappoint

Fit was exactly the size I wear, 36”. Look and feel were comfortable and soft. I would definitely get this again in a different color. The added pockets are very nice especially when taking walks in the beach and being able to have a place for phone or keeping valuable items with you.

The arrival of item: packaging of shorts was nice and clean; the shorts are of (quality material) for board shorts (not see through) and the “tight stitching” is quality.The size: (stretchiness-fit) for US pants size of 38 would better fit a size US size 40 to be comfortable.Definitely VALUE FOR MONEY

These board shorts are good. I live in Hawaii and wear board shorts all the time. I ordered a size 38 and they are spot on. If you are in between sizes then the fit may not be as good around the waistline as there is no stretch. Your only option would be to order one size smaller, go on a diet, and loosen up the lacing until you have reached that perfect size. The length is good. I’m 6’-0” and they go to just below my kneecaps. They are a comfortable fit with plenty of pockets and the Mahi Mahi color pattern is vibrant, fun and different (my wife says it looks more like a peacock than a Mahi Mahi). But I like it! The fish bone embroidery on the side is pretty cool too.What would make them great 5 star boardshorts?1. If the material was 4-way stretch (there is no stretch in the material).2. If the fly was seamless (it's Velcro and the hard material edge and stitching seams can irritate the privates after a while).3. If at least one of the pockets was zippered (I like to know that my car key, hotel room card or whatever is still in there when I need it). Velcro pocket closures don’t give me that security.I think Tormenter makes another pair of shorts that are the stretchier fabric. Maybe I’ll give those a try next?
