BE CAREFUL! I am a huge fan of Volcom, and highly doubt (from personal experience) that those are genuine. Funny this, I just received an email back from the Volcom headquarters about more counterfeits that I reported to them.

I quite like the look of those Zoo Yorks though, gets my vote

(The Bench shorts, A, look tasty too

)

Hmmm.. maybe ur right. Oh well too late now.

I should still get a good idea of which are the best if enough ppl vote.

Don't really like any of them tbh. It might just be fashion taste at the end of the day but i love the types on Surfdome | Animal Clothing, Roxy, Billabong, Quiksilver, Surf Clothing, The North Face Clothing, Quicksilver but they can be a bit pricey for some!

rhysjones_1 · 30-05-09, 05:21 PM

They all look horrible apart from the bench ones tbh
F got my vote

theres one or two nice pairs... Hurley Hydrogen - Hardcloud.com, plus one (lol) interesting pair... Analog Combat Sushi 2 - Hardcloud.com (id never actually get the sushi ones lol)

For some reason the Billabong ones are my least favourite. Not my style really. Im not keen on all the colours and big writing and murals.

delude · 30-05-09, 08:18 PM

Fair enough I guess.
I'm all colours right now, bored of dull

barcelonic · 30-05-09, 09:29 PM

Gutted. Ive just found out that A are 100% cotton, which means they aint intended for swimming! Which means they aint boardshorts and are being cruelly listed as such. But the same shorts elsewhere are not being described as board shorts. How idiotic that they would do that!

Anyhoo, that means I'd go for B, but i have just found a pair and fallen in love with them.... Katin - Evenflo Boardshort - Coffee
The only problem is i'd have to have them shipped from California, so ive emailed them asking how much it'd cost. Nice tho huh? What do u think ppl??

claire80 · 30-05-09, 09:51 PM

have you tried mandm ? me and hubby have stuff from there he had some nice quiksilver ones

also sports direct have some ok ones atm( was looking earlier ) not many brands but airwalk etc

im not keen on any in the poll but will go for e as im a fan of dc

barcelonic · 30-05-09, 10:23 PM

i tend to buy everything online. i would have considered those places tho but now i have my heart set on those Katin ones, lol
