Inspired by Bondi Beach, aussieBum just released this awesome new range. Menswear Review was the only place you could find the pre-lease leak of the new Bondi Series – well, at least the first

The new Bondi Series is definitely a retro look with a surfwear print twist. The Bondi Series are a shorter swim trunk, very similar in length to aB’s Scent Ocean range. In my opinion, they are still in the comfort zone for modesty for guys that aren’t quite ready to move to square-cut trunks but would like them a bit shorter than the traditional boardies. The Bondi Surf Series rests about mid-thigh.

As always, I really enjoy the colors and patterns they roll out. The Bondi Surf Series will come in three different colors/designs: Black with blue and white florals (Sand), Blue with orange and white florals (Sun), and Light Blue with red florals (Surf). all of the designs utilize white piping around the legs and sides, giving them the retro look.

MATERIAL

The board shorts are made from a quality grade 100% Polyester. The swim trunks are unlined and feature a gathered waistband with string tie in the front. These were very fast drying.

POCKETS

There are two mesh front pockets that are deep enough to be usable -though I wouldn’t leave my hotel key in them.

FIT

A very comfortable fit. The gathered waistband allows for accommodating slight changes in sizing. I really liked how the legs rested mid-thigh. This gave me a comfortable feel and allowed my legs to get a bit more sun.

Enjoy the Surf, Sun or Sand in these awesome retro swim shorts. The Bondi Series are truly fabulous swim shorts and can easily recommend these to you. Enjoy.
