Yes, for a swimsuit is a lot of money. The money is here but well laid out. I use the pants now been several weeks and am a few hours / kilometers in chlorinated swimming pools go. The fit is just as perfect as the first day. The quality of the Short makes you feel literally. It pinches nothing, it disturbs nothing and after several hours in the water, the pants still looks like new. My conclusion, therefore, this SWIMSHORT is worth every penny.
