Buyer's guide
Swim trunks without mesh lining.
What the mesh does, why men hate it, and what 46 buyers say about the alternative.
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. 46 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.
Great quality swimsuit. It has a liner built inside that makes it comfortable to wear for longer periods of time than a mesh liner. The material has a...

The other side
Every one to three star review in this group, unedited.
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.
