Quiksilver men's swimwear

Quiksilver swim shorts come from surfing, and that is the right angle for judging them second-hand: what counts is not the outer fabric but what holds it up. The waistband elastic and the drawcord give way first, and a slack elastic cannot be rescued - the garment no longer stays up, whatever it looks like. That is the check to make before any other. Then check the inner lining, which tears before the outer fabric, and look for areas faded by chlorine, usually on the seat. The side seams and the pocket fastenings are the other stress points. The brand gives US sizes and runs roomy, the cut being designed for moving in the water rather than to be fitted.
