Size
Size 3X-Large is the only size of this colour in the current update.
Fit and size
Swim shorts run true to waist. The board shorts have a drawcord and a flat front rather than an elastic gather, so measure a pair you own across the waistband and compare. The capris run a size smaller in the leg than the sweatpants do.
The piece in plain words
What this men's piece is
A men's swim trunks in Light Grey: a polyester shell the maker calls quick-dry, which in practice is the walk from the water to the car. A mesh liner is sewn in. 3 pockets, the zipped ones on the hips, so a key survives the swim. The maker rates the fabric UPF 50+ for a day in the water.
The waist is a drawcord with a flat front, and the hem is cut straight. UPF 50+ is the maker's rating, given for dry fabric. Wet, the same shell lets more sun through.
Wearing it
Rinse it in fresh water after the sea and hang it. Chlorine and salt both shorten the life of the elastic if they dry into it.

Words that belong to the maker
The maker calls this piece UPF 50+, quick-dry and lightweight. Those are the maker's words, and the maker publishes no test report for the range. The sun guide and the trail guide explain what such words mean in use.
What it does not do
A quick-dry shell dries, it does not warm. It is not a wetsuit, and a pocket that zips is not a dry bag.
