I love the fit, fabric, and pockets on these shorts! I had a bad accident at an amusement park where my giant phone fell out of my pocket on a rode and was smashed. These shorts have a zippered pocket in the right front which is big enough to store my Galaxy Note 20 Plus! These shorts dry very fast, have belt loops which matter to me, fit great (I have an athletic build), and I've got several people asking where I got them.

Not for curvy thighs

I wanted to love these, but they didn’t look good on my short, plump thighs. They hugged my thighs, didn't fit straight like the picture on smaller thighs.

Great shorts but really big

5 years ago

I ordered these online according to the size chart. I normally wear a size 8 but when I got them the waist was way too big. I went to REI to exchange them but a 6 was still too big so I ended up getting a size 4 and they fit good. Once I got the size right they are great shorts! They are super comfy and stretch great in the legs for hiking or paddling. I would definitely recommend these shorts but go down a size or two. My friend had to go down two sizes also.

Soft and Stretchy

Love these quick dry shorts -- they are stretchy and softer than other shorts out there, and they have pockets! They're also long enough that they protect the back when sitting on a canoe seat, log or just about anywhere.

Love these shorts!

4 years ago

I have these shorts as well as these shorts from previous year (same style # just older and style has pockets different spot ). These fit true to size and have stretch so they move with you. I prefer the pockets on the older style but the pockets on these work just as well :) Hope they make them in more colors! Bought these for my trip to Zion/Bryce can't wait to put them to good use there.

So functional for outdoor adventure

These are my favorite shorts! Buying a second pair. They move with you, zippered pockets and not too short.

What I was looking for

Comfy. Big pockets. Love so much I want to get a 2nd color. Just wore for a week straight down the Colorado river thru the Grand Canyon! Hiked, rafted and wore every day!

most comfortable shorts ever

3 years ago

I have thighs. I'm not a big person but these are perfect. I feel like I've been looking for shorts with pockets like these for a decade and just as I found them... out of stock and discontinued. I was a commercial guide for 3 years... and I would have loved these when I was working. Please bring back. I am 5'5", weigh 135 and I bought a size 6.
