Fabric is polyester now, not nylon. Strange fit.
Online description specified nylon (like most swimwear), but the tags say polyester. I called Carve Designs and they confirmed that they switched from using nylon to polyester sometime last year. The fit was weird - bunched up awkwardly on me. Pockets tho! Fit was loose, nd not secure enough for swimming. Ran large (I'm usually between small and medium, and ordered a small)
Amazing swim shorts with pockets!
Got these in small in the moss color and I love them. Stretchy fabric makes them super comfortable and great for SUP and other water sports. I have a bigger booty so often have trouble with shorts not sitting right, but these are stretchy so they fit well. The inner lining is well fitting and doesn't show a panty line. And they have 3 pockets (two deep open front pockets and one smaller zipped one in the back). I'm 5'5" 130 lbs and the small fits well.
Nice swim shorts, but not something I really need
These are nice shorts, for sure...Really soft and moveable fabric. But I'm not sure that these fill a niche for me. I find my Carve bikini bottoms to actually be more flattering, although less modest, and probably better for actually swimming. These have a little bit of a diaper effect, although they are relatively well cut for a boy short type of bottom. For kayaking or paddle boarding, I'd probably rather wear regular board shorts in a more durable fabric. This fabric seems to catch some on rough surfaces. I also think they would look better on someone with a fuller bum. On me, the rear fabric seemed a little too flappy. They do seem to run large. A small is more of a true 6 that would also fit an 8, and I think size 4 would be "swimming" in them. Also, I didn't love the feel of the anti-slip elastic inside. It did its job, but felt a bit sticky. Nevertheless...I almost kept these because they are pretty nice in many ways! Love the zip pocket.
The Perfect Swim Short!
I recently discovered Carve Designs at my local REI store and now am completely obsessed! I went online and purchased multiple coordinating tops and bottoms to go with my in-store purchase and these shorts were one of them. They are amazing! They fit perfectly, the colors are beautiful and the back zip pocket is a great addition. (No velcro which I cannot stand, especially on sensitive bathing suit fabric!) The inner liner has grippers on the bottom edge which keep it in place. These shorts are perfect for kayaking, paddling, biking and even everyday wear!
Super cute board shorts
I was tired of those board shorts with the velcro and tie. Everyone has those! These are a stretchy comfortable material. Super cute batik design. I got a large and normally wear an 8-10.
Great for Humid Hikes or the Beach
I wore these on a recent trip to Florida. We hiked some trails in the swampland in the morning before heading to the beach in the afternoon. I wore the shorts to both places and they were amazing! Dried quickly, didn't ride up, and flattering to my body type.
Not what I expected for swim wear
I just received these and tried them on. They run large. I am 5’7” 140 lbs and a small was baggy. (I have a more athletic shape- with a booty and thighs. The size chart definitely did not match the product.) The waist was too large- no draw string. The panty part was nowhere near fitted. The fabric was thin on the outer part and SUPER THIN on the panty part. The pockets looked messy through the outer shell. They just felt cheap. I bought these to match a different top. The color is fabulous but I felt more subconscious in these due to the super loose fit and thin fabric than I do in actual bikini bottoms. I considered going down a size but just feel like the fabric kills it for me. If you want something that dries quickly and that’s all - these will work well. I’ll be returning them. Really bummed too because I love the Red Hot color.
Okay.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If they fit correctly they are pretty great. I am right in between a small and extra small and the difference between the two sizes is starkly apparent. The length of the extra small vs small seems huge. The small seems comfortable but hangs on me a bit when I swim or sit there is a gap. The extra small looks a size too small and is much less comfortable but technically fits and would be okay to wear as a bottom for swimming as it would actually stay put. I feel less comfort wearing the extra small and wish the length was slightly longer as it is for the small. I think it probably looks better if you ordered a size up in this one.
Beautiful design&color with feel great fabric
I first ordered the shorts in medium but they're quite large and seem to be on the loose side for both the waist and legs opening parts. So I have to order size small to compare. I measure on the waist of medium size and it was 33" (FYI: for the rash guard: large is great, for the top: medium is great)
Too large
The really like the look of these, but way too big around the hips/tummy. I ordered medium and I am no way a small, anymore. 5'7" about 137 lbs. Slim, but I have hips and a rear, so was surprised that the "waist" was so big. Will try a small, but fear they will be too small.
