Love these but…

These quickly have become my go to, grab often shorts. From park with kids to hiking, the beach, grocery store runs and more I love them. They are lightweight, quick dry and super comfy. My only complaint is that they’ve started to pill on the outside of the legs; not sure what caused it but I’m a bit disappointed by this for obvious reasons..

Best summer shorts!!

These shorts are so lightweight and flowy, perfect for hot muggy days! I love the feel of the fabric, it’s barely there and silky. The fit is really great too. I’m 5’4”, ~140lbs, and normally I’m a small, but I got the medium because I wanted the extra length and space and they’re perfect! I wear them over my leggings or all day shorts when I run and they are so comfy! I would love to see this fabric in a longer pant for the really brutal days when I’m trying to keep cool and covered, I think they would’ve so comfy as long pants! But all in all, these shorts are going to be a summer staple, they dry so quickly and stay so soft and silky, no matter what I’m doing.

Chef’s kiss

Where my sweaty girls at?! These shorts are IT. I have been hunting and hunting for adventure shorts that aren’t too stiff and aren’t too restrictive, and 10/10 love these. If there was a wider color selection, I would own several pairs. You definitely need to size down. I’m a big booty judy and have never been smaller than a medium in my life, and am a Small/XS in these. Highly recommend.

Soft and comfy

I wanted a short that was lightweight and soft but I need pockets. These fit the bill perfectly. I am 5'9" and 122 lbs. and I bought an XS. They fit just right and look great on. The fabric is soft and drapes beautifully. I am obsessed with these shorts.

Super comfy but the ocean mist is see through

Love the shorts but make sure you’re prepared for the ocean mist to be light and see through material. I love them enough I am keeping them and will wear a swim suit under. I plan to purchase another color for every day where.

Love them.

These feel amazing. They actually feel almost like nothing. I hope I can tell before I leave the house if I’ve actually put them on...

Super Comfortable

Wife says these are her favorite shorts. They are super comfortable and she loves they don’t have a liner.
