Fantastic shorts

These are the most comfortable shorts I have ever worn. From playing golf, to hiking, or running around town, they are lightweight and easy to wear. They also naturally wick moisture and dry quickly which is a real bonus.

Very nice shorts but a bit bigger than my actual size

Just received it today and it came within 3 days so that was impressive! It's very light and feels good, 2 nice deep pockets and 1 zipper pocket in the back - perfect. The only thing is it's a bit bigger around the waist. I usually wear M. I'm just under 6' and weigh 170 with a 33 inch waist and I'll need a belt or use the cords inside to cinch it up.

light fabric material that seems too sheer for exercise

I have a fair amount of smartwool product in my wardrobe and expected these shorts to be a durable heavier weight than what they are. A very thin fabric that is almost a dress short to wear out on the golf course. Not nearly as heavy as shorts I use for mountain biking or hiking so maybe I missed the description of a light weight fabric.

My new favorite short

I got a couple pairs of these mainly for indoor climbing. The material is indeed stretchy enough. I also was pleasantly surprised at the drawstring, without it the shorts would be too stretchy and would easily be pulled down with enough weight in pockets, but they stay in place nicely. True to size. Colors are what I expected.

Not durable

I bought the 3 shorts different colors for my trip, I have used only the black one at the moment and just discover a hole on my second day of use, just walking around, nothing crazy. I like smart wool I have T-shirts that I use to travel and always good and durable, but the shorts are not, too bad because they are comfortable.

omg where have you been all my life

Wow! These shorts are so comfy. Most comfortable I've ever owned. They do feel like you aren't wearing anything at all. Love the look and fit and they are silky smooth. I also love the fit around my legs. Many brands feature leg holes that are too big for me. These are just right! Looking into more colors!

Too many flaws so I wouldn't buy again

They deleted one of the rear pockets. I'm the kind of person that uses all pockets so that's not ok with me. Also, the ons rear pocket that's there has a very small opening and I can't get my hand in it. Frustrating to spend good money on shorts with limited functionality.

Super light weight.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ridiculously light weight and smooth to touch. Almost forget you are wearing it. Really fun colors and modern style. Cons are that they use two snaps instead of a button. Maybe it lasts longer but I would prefer the button. Besides that worth the buy. #sweepstakes

3rd pair

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like these shorts so much that I have three of them. Each color gives some nice versatility to wear with different tops. I especially enjoy the light fabric feel as they drive fast and are not hot at all. Highly recommended for hot summer days.
