John, what you want is the Speedo Roofer, Style number 7320167. It has two normal front pants-type pockets and a right rear hidden zip pocket, perfect for a drivers license, credit card and perhaps a bit of cash wrapped around it.

Otherwise the style is nearly identical to this one. The store that sounds like a 1 cent coin used to stock it every year, but this year they're carrying something a little longer.

Update: Now the Rally V Volley is the Speedo Trunk with two front pockets and a zipped back pocket. The Roofer has been discontinued. I think the Volley is 1" longer than the Roofer (19" vs. 18", sigh.) Why do folks think that shorts should hang down to the knees?

The swimsuit is a fine for a conservative man - which I am. My big complaint is that is doesn't have a pocket of any kind, either side or hip. There is a key holder inside the suit, but nothing on the outside.

It should have one side pocket, and a zipper close hip pocket large enough to hold a waterproof wallet device, etc.

Sometimes the setting doesn't allow squarecuts (or speedos) yet you don't want something that goes below the knees like a garbage bag, so this is it.
Pockets (maybe one in back) would be okay, but it is for swimming, and given my preferences, I don't care much

I'm an older guy who never got used to baggy, knee length swimsuits that cling to your legs when wet. Compared to the swimsuits I had been wearing, it seemed pretty short at first (the inseam is only about 3") but it reminds me of the swimsuits I wore as a teen. I do like the shorter length and I especially like the feel of the fabric, its lack of cling and the quick drying of the water repellent fabric. So much so, I've ordered a second.

This suit is sized correctly. I'm glad that I did not order a size larger as was suggested elsewhere for Speedo suits. It is not the "longs" that go to the knees or below that younger guys seem to think of as shorts. I'm 66 years old and remember when shorts were indeed shorts! Remember what basketball shorts used to look like! Now they're almost basketball pants - not much shorter than the warm-ups! So, if you are older and remember what shorts really are, you'll love this suit.

My spouse prefers swim suits quite a bit shorter than the current fashion. This style is exactly what he loves.

I got this suit for a trip to an all inclusive resort figuring that I would have a rotation of wear one, dry the other. I guess I didn't read the description closely since I missed that these didn't have pockets. I am also a big guy with a 38 to 40" waist. I had trouble pulling the drawstring tight enough to not be worried if I dove into the pool or surf. I didn't have enough time to exchange them either. I know most of this is my own fault but wanted people to know about my experience.

Like shorts are water repellent material and quick drying. Make great swimming shorts. Very comfortable,lightweight with liner inside. Only drawback is no pockets.

Ordered the item based on the picture becasue I have owned a pair before. Received a totally different style, although they were the same brand.

Exactly what we expected. It is difficult to find a bathing suit in this length. The color is very good.
