Kiniki Men's Tan Through Swim Shorts (5th Generation)

Ok, so I wasn't sure if purchasing a pair of these trunks was a good idea or not. But, I had some rewards points floating around, and I love swimming, but I don't love the tan lines I get. So, I figured, why not, and ordered a pair.First impressions: I got the package out of the mailbox and thought there is no way there is anything in that envelope that I'll be able to wear at the pool! But, lo and behold, I opened it up, and there was a lovely pair of swim shorts. Holding them up to my waist, I thought the size would be too small, but once I put them on, they fit perfectly. I will say that Amazon suggesting I go a size higher than their size chart was a good idea, but the large size fits me perfectly with a 34" waist. I wore them into the pool tonight, and wow, they were great. The fabric print does a great job of hiding the fact that there are definitely parts that are see through, and I don't think anyone looking at a glance would be able to tell that the fabric is that sheer. One word of caution though, if you have anything metallic (jewelry or otherwise) that will definitely show through the fabric, so beware! Other than that, I wish I would have bought these earlier since swim season is almost done for the year. Great product, and so far I love it.

Loved them after trying them on I ordered another pair next size up !Large was a little tight but definitely not see thru unless you have jewelry down there or a plug the shiny stuff is visible

I like these shorts and wear them for swimming and the beach. They are not see-through, so no worries on that score, (at least in this patterning) the fabric is light and comfortable on the skin, the shorts look good and they do seem to let the rays through. My only issue(and the reason for 4-stars rather than 5) is with the sizing and cut. I'm normally a medium or large waist size. I first ordered large, and found them far too tight around the waist. I then ordered extra-large (never done this before!) and the waist is a comfortable fit, but the legs are a little loose. This seems like an easy issue to fix.

Looks great and fits well

The swim wear is very small, and not tan through! I have tried to return but it is going to cost anyway from $100-200 to return to the UK!!! When I try to contact the seller- (Guess What) unable to communicate with them what so ever! Looks like I'm going to eat this cost!

Love these trunks. Was a little worried at first, but no worries now. Love the fit. The tan through works, without worry about showing anything that shouldn't be shown.

They run very small… I normally wear medium but I ordered a large because I read in the reviews that they run small, I should have got an extra large

I'm 5'9", 190 lbs, waist size 34" US and decent shape. I specifically went with XL because it should have fit loosely on me, but it ended up fitting like it does the models on the product page (almost tight). It's not a huge problem, but order 2 sizes larger if you want a slightly loose fit a 1 size larger if you want them to fit.How they work: I'm pleased to say you will get a tan through the fabric, but the tan will be lighter than the rest of your body. It's great the tan-through works, but understand its not like you slap these on and you get a full body tan with no differences in shades of tanning.After reading other reviews I feel like it should be clear that you should buy these FOR FUNCTION mainly. If you're more concerned about style and not the tan-through feature simply buy regular beach clothes instead of writing one star reviews bc you didn't like how the piece "looked" on you.
