Customer Reviews L.L.Bean 6" Classic Supplex Sport Shorts

They run large! I usually wear a medium but the mediums were too large so I got smalls! And the smalls are very comfortable!

This was a gift for my son. He loves the fit! The style is great too!

Comfortable poolside or in water. Dries quickly. Lightweight. A great choice for every day swim wear.

These will fade in chlorine treated water. I never used mine in a chlorine treated pool. And, I hand wash them in sink with biodegradable detergent. Nice deep pockets; could use a firm stretch draw cord instead of bunching up the waist so much. Take care of them and they will be your friend.

The shorts are OK, but just OK. I really expected a little higher quality, considering the price, and the fact that I was purchasing from an established American seller. Sadly, the item was not made in the USA.

Item received quickly as advertised and works well in my.application.

The large size was a bit too large. I wouldn't recommend them in moderate ocean surf. You might lose them. Other than that they are fine.

Fit as expected. So far, worn once in the pool and laundered. Seem fine. Quality as expected, but happy to not have paid full price.

I really like the Classic Supplex shorts. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was the inconvenance of having to exchange the first pair purchased (size medium) for a size small. Based on LLBean sizing recommendations the medium should have worked but they were huge. Over the years it seems LLBean sizing has increased i.e todays mediums were yesterdays larges.

They're just a bit too loose on the waist and I wear a medium in most brands. Requires quite a bit of tightening with the strings which looks a little ridiculous.

Summer swim shorts. Bought mens large. They run large.

The sizing was all off! Large was huge. Medium fit my husband with plenty of room and he is always a large. The lining he says much more comfortable than the older pairs of these shorts. And he has many.

Wonderful swim short. Comfortable. Please go back to the embroidered logo not the sewn on patch. Was much more attractive and upscale.

Already mentioned the drawstring is flimsy but, so far, it's holding up ok. Color was yellow, but has faded dramatically- still wearable, tho. Pleased with the liner - it doesn't trip me up when I'm putting the suit on (a huge issue with the suit (not LLBean) I had before.

The waistband is of poor quality and provides almost no elasticity. Have to use the draw string.

I wanted to love these shorts. Colors are great, fabric is great, 6" length is great. Large size fit me as expected in the waist. However the shorts just have too much material in the seat and thigh. This is probably fine for casual swim wear but I was looking for an all around sport short. If LL Bean makes a sport short version sans liner and with a slimmer fitting seat and leg opening I will be a buyer.

Great fit and style. Disliked they had an inner liner. Removed the inner liner.

Shorts were too large. I returned them without wearing.

These shorts are made very well. Only issue is sizing. They run very large. Order a size down from your typical size. I could not shrink mine in the wash/dryer- will likely have to wear as lounge shorts because they'll probably come off in water.

First the color is beautiful. Love the look of it. However the mesh lining really gets into your crevices. I found myself constantly adjusting myself after dipping in the water.

I purchased these a few times before and am happy with the fabric, but am disappointed that the size isn't consistent. This version is smaller than the previous version. I would also rather not have the stitched on LL Bean logo at the bottom.

They're nice shorts.. but are they shorts or a bathing suit?? I little misleading but good product otherwise

I bought these as swimming trunks and upon inspection when they arrived, that is what they appear to be. What LL Bean does not tell you is that they are not color-fast when swimming in a chlorinated pool. They fade in color quickly if you swim frequently in a standard swimming pool. My dark blue swimwear IN TWO WEEKS is now a very pale blue on its way to being white! I think the color would last much longer if swimming in a lake, the ocean, or a salt water pool. Also, If you are near size 36, just under as I am, get the medium size, regardless what their calculations spit out. I got large upon their recommendations and I have to cinch the drawstring all the way down and even past the normal travel.

The waistband is too loose. It should be more elastic so you rely less on the drawstring to keep swimsuit secure around your waist.

Elastic waistband loose, shorts fall down in water. Material feels stiff. Not well made.
