Product Insights
Salty Crew's Exotic Flower Swim Trunk ($75) is a liner-free, polyester-rich swim trunk designed for mobility and quick drying, with a 7-inch inseam that fits consistently across waist sizes. It flatters shorter men but looks brief on taller frames, and while the unlined construction prevents chafing and improves drying, it typically requires a compression underlayer for modesty. The back pocket drains effectively, but front pockets trap water, and the fabric resists fading from UV and chlorine, reinforcing the brand's authentic waterman identity rather than tourist appeal.
Verified claims
- Height proportion
- Flatters men under 170 cm; looks brief over 180 cm.
- Fit
- 7-in inseam is the sweet spot for liner-free trunks.
- Inseam consistency
- The 7-inch inseam is expected to remain consistent across waist sizes for this style, though no size chart confirms this.
- Drying
- Unlined design and quick-dry fabric cut drying time vs. lined trunks.
- Mobility
- Stretch fabric and no inner liner allow full movement for water sports.
- Comfort
- Unlined design reduces chafing but often needs a compression underlayer.
- Fade resistance
- Polyester-rich fabric resists fading from UV and chlorine.
- Authenticity
- Carries Salty Crew's reputation as genuine waterman gear, not tourist fashion.
- Pocket drainage
- The vertical slit pockets and Velcro back pocket have no specified drainage features, so water may accumulate in them when submerged.
- Underlayer
- The trunk lacks a liner; most men pair it with a compression short or swim brief for modesty and support, though going without is an option.
- Chafing
- The unlined construction prevents chafing from mesh liner.
- Water repellency
- The quick-dry fabric has no specified DWR or water-repellent coating and appears to dry through the fiber properties of a standard polyester/nylon blend.
- Shorter cut drying
- The cropped 7-inch cut reduces the amount of fabric that holds water, contributing to faster drying than longer boardshorts.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Exotic Flower Swim Trunk: Choose this if you want quick-dry stretch boardshorts with an allover tropical floral print in soft pastels, a drawcord-adjustable elastic waist, and a 7-inch (18 cm) inseam for a mid-thigh length. The unlined, smooth woven fabric suits swimmers who prefer trunks without an inner mesh layer, and details like a Velcro patch pocket behind, drainage eyelet, and recycled-polyester blend add function. Note it is listed without lining and only in Medium and X-Large in the Off White colorway.[1,2,3] | Little Fish Swim Trunk: Choose this if you want mid-length swim trunks with a 7 inch inseam in a quick-dry stretch blend (37% recycled polyester, plus cotton and 8% spandex), with a drawcord-adjustable elastic waist, a trompe-l'oeil fly, and side slit pockets plus a Velcro patch pocket behind. The Navy/Midnight Blue version carries an all-over small fish print with a logo patch on the left thigh. Note the trunks are unlined, so consider that if you prefer a lined suit.[4,5,6] | Faded Solid Swim Trunk: Choose this if you want quick-dry stretch swim trunks with an elastic, drawcord-adjustable waist, a 7-inch (18 cm) inseam that falls to mid-thigh, and a relaxed leg opening. The 92% polyester and 8% spandex fabric suits swimmers who want stretch, though note the trunk is unlined and its fly is a trompe-l'oeil (decorative, non-functional) design. It comes in Black (sizes small to large) and Blue (medium to x-large), with vertical slit pockets and a Velcro flap pocket at the back.[7,8,9] |
