Two things make or break swim trunks on a trip. One is whether the liner chafes. The other is whether you can carry a phone and key without losing them. The BRISIRA swim trunks handle both. They use a soft 2-in-1 compression liner instead of scratchy mesh. And they add a zippered side pocket, plus a second pocket on the liner for your phone. The fabric is a quick-dry stretch, so it rinses fast and packs small. With over 7,300 reviews at 4.5 stars, these are a top-selling pick for a reason. Here is who they suit, and who should look elsewhere.

The soft compression liner and the zippered side pocket are the two details that matter most on a beach day.

The liner and the fit

These are 5-inch inseam swim trunks with a built-in compression liner. The liner is a soft boxer-brief style, with no mesh, so it does not rub or itch. There is an elastic waistband with a drawstring, so you set the fit yourself. The stretch fabric is quick-drying and lightweight. It also comes in a long list of colours, and the sizing runs from XXS all the way to 5XL.

The pockets on a beach day

The secure pockets are the real win. A zippered side pocket holds your phone or key. And a second liner pocket keeps them close while you are in the water. So you are not leaving valuables on a beach chair. The quick-dry fabric also means you can swim, rinse, and pack them the same day. The 5-inch inseam sits in the middle, so it works for the pool, the boat, or a walk into town. In short, they earn their spot in a carry-on.

What we like

  • Soft 2-in-1 compression liner, with no scratchy mesh.
  • Zippered side pocket, plus a phone pocket on the liner.
  • Quick-dry stretch fabric that rinses and packs fast.
  • Drawstring waist and a wide size range, from XXS to 5XL.
  • A best-seller with over 7,300 reviews at 4.5 stars.

Worth knowing

  • The 5-inch inseam is a mid length, shorter than board shorts.
  • Colours and prints vary, so check the photo for the one you pick.
  • The liner runs snug by design, which is the point of the support.
  • Sizing runs athletic, so use the size chart before you order.

Who the BRISIRA swim trunks are for

Reach for these if you actually swim, snorkel, or move in and out of the water on vacation. They suit anyone who wants a secure pocket and a liner that does not chafe. They also work well as a do-everything short for the pool and the beach. If you want long board shorts or a looser fit with no liner, though, these are not the pair for you.

Our take

For secure pockets, a comfortable liner, and fabric that dries fast, the BRISIRA swim trunks are an easy recommend. Just pick your colour from the photos, and use the size chart for an athletic fit.
