JustSun men’s waterproof quick-dry swim shorts with mesh lining and secure pockets
Product description
What these swim shorts are for
If you want swim shorts that behave more like everyday activewear, these JustSun men’s swim shorts make sense on paper. They’re designed for water time (swimming, surfing) but also for the bit after—walking, running, casual holiday wear—without you having to change straight away. The main draw is the combination of a lightweight quick-drying nylon fabric, waterproofing, and a mesh inner lining for comfort.
That “quick dry + pockets” combo is where you feel the difference. In real life, the most annoying part of cheaper swim shorts is often not the water resistance—it’s the pocket setup. These are built with multiple pockets and, importantly, they’re described as able to carry the weight of a phone without sagging. That’s a practical detail if you actually plan to take your phone on a beach walk or keep it handy by the water.
Key points to know before buying
On the design side, you get an adjustable waist with an elastic band and drawstring, plus a claimed small stretch range (5–8 cm) for easier movement. The pockets are reasonably thought through: 2 side pockets, plus a flap back pocket, with a large space aimed at storing things like a phone or wallet.
Still, a couple of points are worth keeping realistic. Waterproof fabrics and quick-drying fabrics don’t always behave the same way in every situation, and the listing doesn’t specify how “waterproof” is measured (for example, whether it’s meant to handle heavy soaking or light water contact). Also, fit and pocket usefulness can vary depending on body shape—so it’s smart to treat the sizing chart as essential reading rather than an afterthought.
What you’ll notice day to day
The mesh inner lining is there to keep things comfortable for long wear. It’s described as soft, and if you’ve worn swim shorts without a proper inner layer, you’ll know how quickly fabric can feel irritating once you’re in and out of the water.
The pocket approach is another area that feels genuinely useful. The side pockets are described as durable enough to take the weight of a phone without sagging—so you’re less likely to end up with a distorted pocket opening that makes it awkward to use your phone when you stop for a coffee or a quick walk. If you’ve ever had shorts where the pockets drag open or twist, this should feel more stable.
When these are a strong choice
These JustSun swim shorts are a sensible pick if you want one pair that covers multiple situations: beach days, casual holiday activities, and active outings where you don’t want to swap clothing mid-plan.
They’re also a good match if you prioritise: - Practical storage for everyday items (phone/wallet-type use) - An adjustable waist you can fine-tune - Lightweight, quick-drying fabric for staying comfortable between dips
Where they might not fit your needs
It may not be the best choice if you’re after performance-level technical specs beyond what’s described here—because the listing is focused on comfort, waterproof/quick-dry, and pockets, but doesn’t give detailed performance data. If you only need basic swim shorts for occasional splashes and don’t care about phone storage, you might find simpler options more than adequate.
Also, if you’re very sensitive to fit, remember the waterproof/quick-dry and mesh lining can affect how the shorts sit and feel compared with very minimal swim fabrics. It’s not necessarily a downside, just something to consider.

Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you want waterproof, quick-drying swim shorts with a comfortable mesh lining and pockets made for real use (especially carrying a phone without sagging). They suit active holiday days where you’re moving between water, walking, and casual wear.
You may want to skip them if you prefer very lightweight, minimalist swim shorts and don’t need multiple pockets, or if you’re expecting tightly specified waterproof performance details. If you do buy, check the size chart before ordering—fit is the make-or-break factor with any adjustable swim short.
