I personally bought these for myself in the mid 1990’s for surfing from Surfers Supplies, Ocean City, NJ, (really really miss you George). I literally only used them a handful of times, as they were a bit too small for me. These are the real deal, like new condition, and Made in USA!!! Not overseas like the cheap quality ones for sale out there now for the same price or more. Very heavy duty Nylon. 32” Waist. Black, with one Velcro pocket, Velcro and string-tie closure.
