TYR Men's Sea View Land To Water Swim Short

I got these because I liked the concept of having something that can double as gym shorts and swim trunks so I can switch from the gym or running to the pool more easily. These disappointed me a bit because the of the fit mainly but the design was okay: there is a mesh liner, which was fine, the pockets are smaller than most regular gym shorts, not as comfortable as gym shorts but close enough, and the material felt more like trunk material but seemed to function in workouts better than swimwear normally does in the time I tried them out. The fit on these runs way tighter than a normal gym short and even tighter than boardshorts, pinching hard at the waist. I measure roughly 33 waist and even my size 31 and 32 boardshorts were far better fitting than the medium size of these when I tried them the same day, which is really unexpected given that the drawstring style should have more give than the flat fabric. I may get the large and see if it’s any better because I do like the design overall.
