Valeo Neoprene Shorts

I bought these neoprene shorts for use in my sit-on-top kayak as a kind of wetsuit bottom for Florida Keys "winters." The material is thinner than most wetsuit material, and the zipper is a small, standard clothing zipper, but the shorts work fine for this use. As another reviewer pointed out, they are not form-cut, but I am after practicality and comfort and not fashion: again, they work for my purpose and are cheap. I hand wash them after every use to get the salt out. Afte six uses they are holding up. I find the medium size accurate and not the smaller "European sizings" you sometimes run into. Here are the waist sizes printed on the box:

SM = 24" 29"

MD = 30" 35"

LG = 36" 41"

XL = 42" 46"

I purchased these as a replacement for some Joe Weider shorts I have had for many years that have started to wear out.

I bought 3 pair of these shorts, worn 2 of them 1 time each, washed them, and they both came apart near the seam. The seams themselves did not come apart, but the actual fabric itself split in two like a ''run'' in panty hose. The third pair is still in

the box and I have not worn it, but I figure that the same thing will happen with it as well.

Also, one of the pair had one leg about an inch longer then the other leg. The one leg also fit tighter and you could tell the cut was wrong.

Like I said, very poor craftsmanship and materials.

I am happy with the neoprene shorts, but want to warn people that they run very small. I am a size 8/10 and bought the medium, which is the size I buy in most things, and they are VERY tight. They definitely do their job in terms of making me sweat, but it is a bit of a challenge to get them on!!

No idea how they work. This is my second pair now. I''ve blown a ton of money and can''t use the Large I bought (about a man''s 34 inch waist) or these XL''s (about a man''s 36 inch waist)...

The sizing chart is way off. They seem like a decent pair of no-frills neoprene shorts though.

UPDATE: I''m about a 36/37 now and can just squeeze into these. Not a bad pair of neoprene shorts, if you can find your right size.

This is two pieces of neoprene slapped together with a zipper. There are no contours to the garment, not even a waistband.
