Finally!
I bought three pairs of these during their final sale and was afraid to try them on when U received them. I just knew they wouldn't fit me right. My weight is around my stomach so pants and shorts I try on are always HUGE in the legs. Not these. They fit my waste AND looked decent on my legs. I'm attempting to lose weight and with the drawstring inside, I'll be able to wear these for quite awhile if I do lose weight. They are also very durable. I came back to buy a couple more pairs! I would say these run a bit on the big side as I purchased an XL hoping I could squeeze into them and I while they fit fine, I could actually use the drawstring to bring them in a little.
Well-made, sturdy shorts
I ordered these shorts in the cute Moth Print color. I was assuming they would be like a running short, but they're quite a bit thicker. There are two roomy side pockets and then a large zip pocket in the back. There's an interior drawstring. They're not see-through and the fabric doesn't feel like it will snag on anything. I normally would order a Large in shorts, and ordered both a Large and X-Large. I am glad I did this because while the Large fit, the fabric does not have any stretch to it. The X-Large was roomy enough that I felt like I wasn't being restricted (and more comfortable to me).
I loved it so much I bought all the colors!
I needed a pair of walking shorts that was both comfortable and attractive enough to get me up and out the door and I absolutely LOVE these shorts. The inseam is perfect; not too short and not too long. The material is light and comfortable and of really good quality so they hold their shape and have a nice profile. The fit is also ideal and I ended up walking for an hour and felt great in them and want to get out every day now because they feel so good. This will be my go to summer shorts so I just bought a pair in every color so I will always have a clean pair.
Love these
Love these shorts. They were a little stiff out of the box, but they are super comfy after wearing them for a while. The pockets are great and the waistband is comfortable. I'm 5'9", 155 lbs, athletic/generous hips/thighs and the M fits perfectly.
Super comfortable all around shorts
These shorts are super comfortable and practical. The waistband took a little breaking in to fit right, but after the second wear these have become my favorite shorts. They are flexible and long enough to use for biking or hiking, or for just being out on the town. They feel like I'm wearing running shorts, but with pockets and a more flattering shape! I'm 5'10", 175lbs and the medium fits just right.
Great shorts - very comfortable and easy to move in
Love these shorts! They hold up form doing yardwork to going on a hike to cross-country biking to hanging out on the water. The elastic band is nice and heavy so they stay up without any concern. The shorts are made out of a nice water wicking, stretchy fabric that moves with you all day but doesn't bunch. My only complaint is that the legs will roll up occasionally. 9.5/10 - would buy again
My go-to summer shorts
I am back for a second pair - my first pair was from maybe two years ago in a tan color, and I find that given all the shorts options I have, these are my go-to! Super quick to change in and out of, and the wide elastic waistband is fabulous. I'm 5'7" 130# and bought a small. Hoping that nothing has changed since my first pair other than the color selection!
Comfy shorts
Nice and roomy. I like these for yoga or just walking around town. The description is correct, the waistband is super flattering. The material is a little rough and when I first put them on I thought I snapped a thread or something in the waistband despite them being the right size. Not sure if that's a manufacturing thing or what.
Light weight & fasting drying
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I sized up in this short to M (5'5", 135lbs) due to the waist being pretty tight despite having a drawstring. Only negative for me is that I've somehow snagged them already and have really only used them for indoor exercise and for weeding and watering the garden so far. Other than that, they are a fun color and very comfy
The perfect shorts
I wore these for a week backpacking. The elastic in the waist never got loose. They fit great the whole time. The pockets are great for my phone and snacks. And there is one zippered pocket for things you don't want to lose. I never had to think about them. That to me is a good piece of gear when it just works.
