Surf Runners by Speedo.  Can be used for swimming or running.  Bathing suit cut like running shorts. Mesh lining for good ventilation,  cotton or fast dry poly.  Available in tropical prints or solid colors.  Some come with internal Velcro case for key, credit card or other stuff you need with you.  I’ve had mine since 1986. In Cancun you don’t have to be too concerned with durability.  The island of Cozumel and coral reefs cut down on surf. It’s more like a salt water swimming pool. —  To  email me, Edit "xt" from my email address.   Brian M.

Yep. Almost indestructible. I see they have some other fabrics available, but stick with their original stuff. It’s tough, a bit stiff, but can’t be beat. I’m serious… if you buy a couple of pair, you should be set for life. — Keith __ "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."                    … Albert Einstein

I also reccommend you check out Speedo.. They sell many styles, not just the Banana Hammocks you may associate the name with!
