Sizing Notes
Measurements are stated in inches unless otherwise indicated. Size chart values represent body measurements, not garment measurements.
SHORT: Some pants are available in short sizes, which generally means an inseam that is 2.5 inches shorter than regular sizes.
TALL: Some pants, shirts, jackets and parkas are available in tall sizes, which generally means an inseam that is 3 inches longer and a rise that is 1 inch longer, a shirt or jacket body that is 2 inches longer, a parka body that is 2.5 inches longer and sleeves that are 2.5 inches longer than regular sizes.
Capri or cropped pants have an intentionally shorter inseam—reference the technical specs instead of this chart.
Inseam is measured to the floor.

Impressive update
These shorts are like a dream! Exceptional comfort, lightweight design, and versatility - making them perfect for various activities like running, hiking, and biking. The fact that you don't even notice wearing them is a great testament to their comfort. The practical design of the front pockets, including a zippered one large enough for an iPhone, eliminates the need for back pockets. They're also suitable for casual wear, making them a fantastic all-around choice. I bought all the colors.
Supremely comfortable
I bought these shorts for tennis as I've been struggling to find anything suitable for that sport from my traditional sportswear company. It feels like wearing nothing at all, and I'm old enough now where that sensation doesn't alarm me. Moisture-wicking, seemingly odor resistant, large pockets and they come in earthy colors that I prefer. I bought two more pairs after trying out the first.
miss the liner of the previous version
Very comfortable and breathable shorts. Shorts have deep pockets and secure phone, keys and wallet better than the older shorts. I only wish these also had the liner.
Too baggy
The shorts run larger than normal. I wear a large in almost every short and these seem very baggy and loose around the waist. Size down if you are between sizes.
Great pair of shorts
I’m very picky about the shorts I wear, and it’s usually tough to find a pair that checks all my boxes for comfort and functionality. These shorts definitely meet my criteria. They’re comfortable, flexible, and versatile enough for swimming, hiking, running, exercising—basically anything I throw at them. I recently wore them on a week-long canoeing trip, and they performed incredibly well in all conditions. My only piece of feedback is that I wish they had a back pocket. Other than that, these are pretty much the perfect shorts
Awesome shorts for everyday wear!
These shorts are probably some of the most comfortable, versatile and all around best shorts I’ve ever worn! I wear them everyday for yard work, swimming, boating and lounging around. I’m online now to buy a couple more pairs. Be sure to go commando for full comfort!
Solid casual shorts
Very comfortable and I appreciate having the option to tie the shorts inside the waistband. They're thin and I'm not confident in the durability for anything requiring it. Overall a solid daily short for the price.
Best shorts I’ve bought in years
Like them so much, bought 3 more colors. Super comfy, light and a great fit for my XL frame.
Comfortable and versatile
Great quality and lightweight material is comfortable and cool while exercising or hiking. I typically wear an XL and found the fit to be very accurate. The green coloring is a great tone and versatile. I would definitely recommend for active wear or lounging on easier days.
Please offer in 9 inch inseam!
These shorts are very nice. I only wish they came in a 9 inch inseam. 7 inch inseam I feel is too short for working out at the gym (other than cardio). Like that no liner. Please offer these in a 9 inch option too!!!!
