I already own several swim briefs from this brand, and overall I’ve consistently been impressed with the quality. These are a little different from some of the others I own because they offer slightly more coverage, which honestly makes them feel a little easier to wear casually.Personally, I mostly use swim briefs like these underneath board shorts instead of the built-in mesh liners that many swim trunks come with. A lot of board shorts don’t even include liners anymore, and I find swim briefs much more comfortable anyway.The quality on these feels very solid. The material is comfortable, the stitching looks good, and this pair also includes an internal drawstring, which I always appreciate for getting the fit dialed in properly. There’s also a front liner built in, which helps them feel a little more substantial and comfortable while wearing. On the back there’s a small metal brand tag detail that gives them a slightly more premium/stylish look.For sizing reference, I’m around a 34” waist and ordered the large. I definitely would not have wanted to go larger, and I possibly could have even sized down depending on how snug I wanted the fit. That said, the large is completely wearable, especially because the drawstring helps customize the fit.I also have fairly athletic/thicker thighs, and I appreciated that the leg openings were comfortable without digging in or squeezing my legs too tightly. They still fit properly and stayed in place, just without the overly tight thigh openings that some swim briefs can have.The Lunar Leopard print also looks really good in person. It has more of a modern abstract animal-print look rather than a traditional leopard pattern, which makes it feel stylish without being over-the-top.Overall, these are comfortable, supportive, and very well-made swim briefs that feel more premium than a lot of similarly priced options.Pros: comfortable fit; athletic-friendly leg openings; stylish Lunar Leopard printCons: runs slightly roomy compared to other styles
