Perfect for rash prevention in the tropics. 0.5mm is the right thickness. Not too hot, not too cold. Could easily use it as a swim trunk for open ocean swims. 6”1, 185 @ 32 waist and the Large fits great.
Wearing these under my boardies they keep me in the surf longer during sydney’s summer to autumn seasons :)
I also use them for the summer ocean race season … in events and pool training.
Finally, customer service was great, I crazily ordered XS instead of XL … realising this at the last minute I rang them and the change was made before the courier arrived :)
I bought the M and the L. both fit great and I do look a bit cuter in the M :) but seriously. I have owed Matuse suits for over 5 years, Mostly Spring suits, and warmer water shirts. These shorts were much needed in keeping my board shorts dry. Perfect bodysurfing, kiting, wingdinging, surfing, and looking good on the beach. So stoked there part of my everyday wear now. I just need a new BC Large Vest because mine is in shreds, but it still prevents rash and sun... Great products. Thanks
Great shorts for cool days, fit perfectly.
Wanted something to prevent chafing under board-shorts but not add warmth when surfing In The tropics. The .5mm were perfect, everywhere else was at least 1mm if not more and that would of been to warm.I wouldn’t say they add warmth but are awesome when your surfing 3 sessions a day in only boardies,your bound to get a rash in boardies eventually especially on surf trips and these helped a lot. I’m a size 32 waist and 5’9 175 .I purchased Larges and they fit great.
