I returned. No liner and kind of thin. Great length and color though.

These do NOT have the mesh liner that most swim trunks have.

Ordered these shorts for my son in a size 30. I am an experienced seamstress aoni know how to measure a person. The actual waist on theses is 34". I'll be returning and hoping the 28" are closer to 30".

My husband likes this swimsuit, but I did notice something strange the other day when he wore them. The pockets are mesh, so if he's sitting down, I can see into the pocket and through the mesh liner of the pocket. I could only see some of his leg, but I still thought it was weird. He told me a lot of his swimsuits are like that though, so maybe it's not a big deal?
