My son was pleasantly surprised at how comfy these are regardless of the netting layer. The only problem he encountered was there is an inner leg seem that eventually began to irritate him when we were at the beach on vacation so he had to put cream on to make it better after that. If you have sensory sensitive kiddos just a heads up we were pleasantly surprised at how comfy they were until the seem started to be a problem.Great little swim trunks but size down one for sure.These are awesome! Got them for my 9 year old who is obsessed with Bendy and the Ink Machine. He loves them. Says they’re comfy and they seem to fit as expected. He’s tall so 10-12 was the way to goWe get so many compliments on these. They're made well, fit well and look cool!The fabric was thinShorts are cuteSon loves how they lookWe really like these trunks. They are a nice length, hit’s just above the knee. You’ll definitely want to size down though. They’re very largeThis is my sons new favorite swim shorts. Great quality and they fit perfectly!These are super comfortable and it does not matter what gender you are either
