Compare three Rhoback Medley Swim Trunk colorways: Washed Red/White, Short Stop Blue, and Fleet Navy, based on fabric, fit, and style trade-offs.
Quick answer
All three Rhoback Medley Swim Trunks share the same quick-drying, four-way stretch fabric and TideFlex liner. The main differences are color and pattern, which affect how they pair with your wardrobe and where you'll wear them.
Why color matters more than you think
When you're choosing between Washed Red/White, Short Stop Blue, and Fleet Navy, you're not just picking a look. The color and pattern influence how versatile the trunks are across different settings—from the beach to a casual lunch. The solid options (Short Stop Blue and Fleet Navy) blend in with most tops, while the Shark pattern (Washed Red/White) makes a bolder statement.
Fabric and fit are identical across colors
All three trunks use the same quick-drying, four-way stretch fabric and feature the TideFlex liner for soft support and chafing reduction. The 6.5-inch inseam is consistent, so your fit decision is purely about color preference and pattern boldness. No need to worry about one color fitting differently.
