One star minus because it's not shorts but it's almost like bermuda shorts. One star minus because it's puffy, meaning it has a wide line around, like the pockets on you. When it dries, it's less puffy with a wide line on you. The proportions are correct. Meaning, if you take XL, it's XL. The elastic is fine. The positives are that it dries quickly and for the price of 7 euros with shipping, it's good. Thinking of getting a second one. Anyway, it's like in the photo, and the color is the same with pockets. For me, if it had a slightly tighter line, it would have 5 stars. For the quality, it will definitely last you 2 years. If something changes, I will note it. A 5 euro swimsuit... A coffee...
