Helly Hansen  Tofino Solen 9.5" Shorts - Men's

While I love the color and style, these shorts simply failed to deliver. First, the included fastener/belt ALWAYS loosens on its own (even after I re-threaded the buckle). Second, the waist and fly are ONLY secured via small hook-and-loop (i.e. Velcro) strips. . .no snaps, buttons or zippers. Third, the pockets (there are only two) are VERY shallow. . .they barely fit a wallet or mobile phone. Fourth, both sides of the fly are connected via "webbing" (very strange).

I'm a 32/33 waist, which is a Small according to the sizing chart on that page... well that's very, very wrong - they're so small that they're nowhere near able to buckle. I'm going to return them for a Large.

The shorts and material are good, but the integrated belt is poorly designed. The belt will loosen up without any pressure which makes it useless. As with most HH products the sizing runs small and thinner than most men’s clothing. I wear a 33 waist but bought a large size which feels like a typical medium / 34 waist.

Great pair of shorts! Nice stretch to it!
