Reviewer: Andrew Gilb,
These ONeill Rash Guard Shorts fit good and look good but they dont dry. Just came back from 10 days at Wakatobi and these were wet the entire time. Wear them for the dive, take them off and put them out to dry in the sun and come back 3 hours later and they are still very damp. Love rash guards but will buy a different brand hoping to find a set that dry.

I bought these Oneill shorts for a recent dive trip to Belize. I got tired of my swimsuit bunching under my wetsuit. These shorts performed exactly as I had hoped. I will be buying another pair before my next trip.

My husband needs skin shorts for constant use in Florida. They provide protection from chafing while he is fishing or diving all day, are easy to care for, and fit true to size. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

I have always had issues with that annoying salt water rash we can get on our thighs. It can be very painful. These shorts worn under my swim shorts/wetsuit prevent chaffing 100%. Since wearing them Ive never had a single moments pain.

Rating: Works great under wetsuit
Reviewer: Timothy Russell, - View all my reviews
Works very well under a wet suit - I wouldnt wear without something over it though. Very thin so it doesnt leave much to the imagination but, for what I bought it for, it works perfect.

I cant spend more than an hour in salt water without getting that nasty inner thigh rash. That sucks on week long dive trips.
The first time I wore these shorts under my swim shorts I spent all day in and out of the water and not one single rash.
These shorts are part of my regular dive gear now. I wouldnt dive/snorkel without them.

You dont notice them under board shorts, and you can change in and out of your wetsuit without having to go find a bathroom stall. Good stuff.
