Buyer's guide
Swim trunks without mesh lining.
What the mesh does, why men hate it, and what 35 buyers say about the alternative.
If you want swim trunks without mesh, choose a pair with a fabric compression liner: it is the only lining that supports without rubbing. Mesh netting is the cheapest way to line a swim short and the most complained about feature in men's swimwear: it rubs, it catches, it holds water and it shows at the leg. Tucann replaced it in 2017 with a soft compression fabric liner, an inner short that moves with you and dries with the shell. 35 reviews mention mesh or netting specifically, almost always as the thing they were escaping. Five star share in this group is 91%.

Main reason for getting these shorts was the smart idea to add the built in aqua liner instead of the usual mesh lining and it really makes wearing sw...
Great graphics, perfect material and the inside mesh is very useful. In my opinion they could be 1 inch shorter but that's my personal taste.
Great feeling and fit on these. No uncomfortable mesh liner, but a nice smooth cradle liner. Very pleased.
My wife said loves these on me. They dry well and the liner is comfortable. No more uncomfortable mesh!
This swimsuit is fantastic. More than I would normally spend but would definitely do it again. I bought two this time. Love the compression lining. Much nicer than the old mesh stuff.
Love the design, and the trunks are so comfortable with the built in non-mesh liner. I can walk on the beach or sit by the pool after getting them we...
Most comfortable swim suit I have ever owned by far ! Goodbye mesh hello comfy. Very stylish well made , nothing cheap, love the shorter length.
Love the fitted insides rather than the netting!! Have only worn a couple of weeks, so jury still out on quality!! Size seems pretty spot on, although mine maybe touch tight!! Overall, really like them, so does my wife!!
The other side

Fit and look is very good. Found loose thread in the right pocket which will be a problem in time no doubt. Company states fast drying. The outer part of the trunks dries quickly. The inner stays wet a very long time and the support is marginally acceptable. Better off with mesh that the company actually criticizes. Maybe I’d pay $50 for this bathing suit, but the almost $100 that I paid is not worth it.
