Theme Park Shorts!
As the title says, I was looking for some lightweight, not-giant-cargo shorts WITH A ZIPPER POCKET to wear on roller coasters. These worked great to keep my iPhone 14 mini and car key secure (not sure if there is enough clearance in zipper pocket for larger phones). I also love the big open pockets for convenient phone stashing the rest of the time. Sizing: I'd say size up if between sizes. I'm around 113#, 26 inch waist and initially got a XS and S because I was concerned about them falling down since it's only elastic waist. Well, I could squeeze into the XS but it was uncomfortably tight for me, and so I kept the size S which have worked perfectly and stayed secure on my waist.
comfortable and perfect
I am a mom who is concerned about her belly postpartum. This make me feel comfortable and look good.
Questionable Fabric Choice
After 1 wear the inner thigh started pilling. Wore on a multi-day backpacking trip. It would be nice if they had an inner drawstring as the shorts got a little loose around my waist after several days of wear. Love the drop in pocket, range of motion is great. These shorts passed the high lunge step and squat test, however, the fabric quality is seriously lacking. Both inner thighs are pilling after one wear hence the low ranking.
Runs small
I purchased these shorts for hiking, biking and other outdoor activities. I am usually a size S in most shorts, pants etc. with petite frame, however, unlike other reviews, I felt like they did not have much stretch. I am sizing up to a size M to see if they are more comfortable!
The perfect short
Unbelievable shorts with amazing stretch for those big thigh girlies. I think my only critique is the pockets stick out a little too much for my liking. However the deep pockets are very VERY much appreciated! The waist band of these shorts is supple and so comfy, never a moment of feeling like it’s too tight or had buttons pushing into me. Can be used for hikes, swims, paddle boarding, and climbing.

These shorts are a 10/10
Im a female in carpentry and these are my favorite shorts! They don't ride up, the inseam is perfect length & can't see anything up my shorts when I'm on a ladder, the waist band is so stretchy and comfy these are perfect with my heavy tool belt, they keep me so cool on hot days. And they have a sporty yet professional look to them.These shorts are perfect.
Great for EVERYTHI G
I LOVE THESE TROUSERS. the pockets are what every short should require. 2 giant side pockets plus a zippy pocket for anything you need locked away. I am considering buying every color while on sale. Seriously, so so good. Oh and they are comfortable, the don't ride up either!
Great pull-on shorts
Great pull-on packable shorts. Soft, comfortable-a little low for me in the back waistline, but otherwise great for post-activity lounging.
