Howler Brothers Swimwear

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do Howler Brothers boardshorts typically fit and how should I choose my size?

  Howler Brothers boardshorts use a regular, true-to-size cut designed for ease of movement—measure your body and compare to the brand size chart rather than garment dimensions. Typical body measurements run S: Chest 36"-38", Waist 28"-30"; M: Chest 39"-41", Waist 31"-33" up to XXL: Waist 39"-40". If you’re between sizes and prefer a roomier fit for paddling or layering, size up one.
• How do Howler Brothers Boardshorts compare to their Surf + Swim trunks?

  Both styles use quick-drying, high-strength microfibers and are tuned for water activity, but Boardshorts are aimed more at surf performance with streamlined details and select abrasion‑resistant constructions, while Surf + Swim trunks emphasize everyday beach-and-pool versatility and often include microfiber-lined pockets for gear care. Choose Boardshorts if you prioritize extended durability and surfing performance; pick Surf + Swim for casual all‑day wear and extra pocket functionality.
• What materials and construction features help Howler Brothers swimwear perform in the water?

  Howler Brothers uses quick-drying microfibers that shed water rapidly and resist stretching for repeated use, plus thoughtful construction like reinforced seams on more rugged models. Two models are offered with abrasion‑resistant fabric for high-wear situations, and several styles include an adjustable elastic waistband with drawstring for secure fit during active sessions.
• Which Howler Brothers boardshorts should I pick for rugged surf or frequent beach use?

  Look for the abrasion‑resistant models in the lineup—these use tougher microfiber blends and reinforced panels to resist wear from wax, fins, and rough surfaces. Pair that construction with a model that has an adjustable elastic waist and secure closure to keep the shorts in place during powerful surf and long days in the water.
• Do Howler Brothers swim trunks have pockets and other features for carrying or caring for gear?

  Yes, some Howler Brothers styles include pockets, and at least one model offers microfiber-lined pockets designed to clean things like sunglasses or phone screens. Combined with quick-drying fabrics and secure waist adjustments, these features make the trunks practical for active beach days and repeated water use.
