Speedo Surfrunner offers Best of Both Worlds Sep 02, 2009
By Roland Escher
Speedo Surfrunner swim shorts offer the best of both worlds -- After moving to a place where we hit the beach several times a week, I was looking to replace my beloved Quicksilver water shorts. The Surfrunners are exactly what I was looking for. The Surfrunners offer more coverage than briefs or a "square leg" design. Yet they are not as tight-fitting. They are also significantly shorter than surf trunks. So you will not get a tan line below your knee. And the Surfrunners won't stick to your thighs like a wet rag when you get out of the water. In addition to the Striped Surfrunner (Speedo Men's Fashion Polyester Taslan Solid Striped Surf Runner Volley 14" Outseam Watershort Swimsuit), there is also a Solid Surfrunner version (Speedo Men's Fashion Polyester Taslan Solid Surf Runner Volley 14" Outseam Watershort Swimsuit). Now that I have confirmed the good fit with one pair, I expect to get several more to rotate.

Some potential drawbacks of these swim shorts: The fabric is on the rough side, not silky smooth like a rashguard. And other than an internal key pocket, there are no outside pockets at all. In my mind, though, that is an advantage. Pockets catch sand at the beach, and make shorts look more baggy -- two things that I don't like and will avoid with these shorts.

Bottom line: The Speedo Surfrunner swim shorts are perfect if you are looking for the best of both worlds. More coverage than briefs, with similar freedom of movement. And unlike surf trunks, no clumsy, sticky, long legs.

Best bathing suit that I have ever purchased Oct 22, 2010
By Tom
The Speedo Tastan 14" outseam is the best bathing suit that I have ever purchased. I swim 3 to 4 times a week at the YMCA and needed a bathing suit that was not to long like most surfer bathing suits you see for sale and I didn't want a tight suit that one usually associates with a Speedo suit. Since I am a mature man, I am past those days where a tight Speedo is appropriate. I admit that I was a little lerry when I first ordered the Speedo Tastan becasue of the ad description could have been a little more descriptive. For instance, was the 14" lenght outseam measured from the top of the suit to the bottom or from the bottom ot the elastic waist which is where the seam of the suit begins. It is measured from the top. It turns out the lenght is perfect and the suit has a nice comfortable lining with drawstings to adjust the waist. It also dries very fast. I am very satisfied and would give this suit a 5 star rating. So much so that I plan to buy another as soon as Amazon offers free shipping for the holidays. P.S. The Amazon customer service team also rates 5 stars. I had an issue an they resolved it along with following uo to see if I was satisifed. Good work by that team.

For those who hate long baggy swimsuits May 09, 2009
By J. Devine
The trend for most suits now having the length below the knee and really baggy. If you're like me and don't like that trend, this is the suit for you. Loose enough for comfort, you don't have a damp clammy suit covering you legs after you swim. Speedo, so well made and designed. Waterproof bag in pocket is a plus.

not what i was hoping for Oct 03, 2011
By Kevin
I am not a competitive swimmer; just looking for 30 minutes of excercise on my lunch break. I bought these swim shorts because I was looking for something just a bit more streamlined and more comfortable to swim laps in than bulky board shorts. I also like that it wasn't the typical Speedo/Jammer fit. I'm a bit disappointed in purchasing these though. The fabric is very stiff and has no stretch to it. Makes it difficult anytime you pull your knees up to your chest, for example when pulling yourself out of the pool and swinging your leg up onto the pool deck, as the fabric does not give at all. Also, the trunks sort of poof out around the waist making it look kind of weird. I will live with these for now, but will be looking around for something better.

Light and comfortable Aug 26, 2009
By Alfred E. Guy Jr. "onela22"
I didn't know what Taslan was and I worried that the word "volley" meant they wouldn't really be swim trunks. I suppose I'm ignorant! But these are fantastic. They're comfortable and super light and they fit well. And it's crazy (in a good way) that you can get these through Amazon with their free shipping (in my case, Prime) and their reliable customer service. Anyway, these are great trunks.
