Finding the perfect swim trunks isn’t just about style—it’s also about comfort, confidence, and performance. Hurley offers a wide range of swim trunks tailored to various needs, body types, and activities. Whether you’re surfing big waves, lounging poolside, or looking for a flattering fit, Hurley has a trunk that’s right for you. This guide breaks down the best Hurley swim trunks based on body type and intended use.
For Athletic Builds: Hurley Phantom Hyperweave Trunks
If you have an athletic build, the Phantom Hyperweave line is a top-tier choice. These trunks feature Hurley’s innovative Hyperweave waistband, which provides a secure yet flexible fit—ideal for active beachgoers. The four-way stretch Phantom fabric moves with your body, allowing for full mobility during surfing, running, or swimming. The slim, modern cut flatters toned legs and waists, enhancing natural shape while ensuring comfort.
Best for: Surfing, beach volleyball, and high-mobility water sports.
For Larger Frames: Hurley One and Only Volley Shorts
Those with larger or stockier frames may appreciate the Hurley One and Only Volley Shorts. These trunks come in shorter inseams (5″–7″), which helps elongate the legs and offer a more balanced look. The relaxed fit, elastic waistband, and internal drawcord provide a forgiving but secure fit, ideal for a variety of body shapes.
Best for: Lounging, swimming, casual wear.
For Tall and Slim Men: Hurley Phantom Block Party Trunks
Tall, slender individuals often need a swim trunk that adds visual structure without overwhelming their frame. The Phantom Block Party collection includes stylish color blocking and horizontal striping, which adds visual width. With a longer 18″-20″ outseam, these trunks provide more coverage and balance a lanky silhouette.
Best for: Paddleboarding, casual beach wear, surfing.
For Shorter Builds: Hurley Everyday 5” Volley Shorts
Shorter men often benefit from above-the-knee styles that show off more leg and create the illusion of height. The Hurley Everyday Volley Shorts with a 5-inch inseam are perfect for this. Lightweight and unrestrictive, they offer versatility for both in-water and on-land activities while keeping proportions flattering.
Best for: Swimming, city-to-beach transitions, travel.
For Water Sports Enthusiasts: Hurley Phantom Naturals
When you’re tackling waves or training in open water, you want trunks that won’t hold you back. The Hurley Phantom Naturals are performance-driven and eco-conscious, featuring recycled stretch fabric, mesh pockets, and a quick-dry interior. The waistband stays snug during motion, and the trim cut reduces drag—making them perfect for athletes.
Best for: Surfing, kayaking, jet skiing.
For Versatile Everyday Wear: Hurley Hybrid Walkshort Trunks
If you’re looking for swimwear that can double as casual shorts, the Hurley Hybrid Walkshorts are a solid pick. These trunks look like classic walkshorts but are made from quick-drying, water-repellent fabric, so you can go from beach to lunch without changing. The tailored fit complements all body types and gives a clean, urban edge.
Best for: Travel, beach-to-town outings, casual wear.
Conclusion
Hurley has designed swim trunks for every body type and every kind of activity—from performance surfing to poolside lounging. Whether you’re short, tall, athletic, or fuller-figured, there’s a pair of Hurley trunks tailored for you. By focusing on fit, functionality, and fabric innovation, Hurley ensures that you not only look great—but feel great—no matter where the water takes you.
