Great shorts!
I love these shorts! I should preface by saying, I am a female who likes longer shorts but not too long, and needs the bigger pockets. (shorts for females just don't have adequate pockets these days). These are the perfect length and hit just where I like them above the knee. The pockets are great, I love that the front ones are deep enough to hold my phone and other things like chapstick and keys. I like the zipper on the back right pocket, the only thing I would maybe change there is making those a little deeper to fit a phone better when you do want to zip it up. (I have an iPhone 13 and it's just tall enough that it doesn't zip). These shorts breath really well in the heat, dry quick when getting wet/splashed and are the perfect amount of stretch. I have now purchased a pair in almost every color. Would definitely recommend these shorts to anyone, male or female!

Good look and functional form
I have worn these shorts now a few times, casually, and once mountain biking as I forgot my normal mountain bike shorts. The shorts have a great look and are functional in sport. My only grape is the metal zippers on the back can scratch furniture. I still would recommend the shorts.

Super comfy and functional
These things fit great and the material is super nice and light. Waist is true to size and they sit a couple inches above my knees. These dry super fast and are pretty casual looking. They're very functional on the outdoor side of the house. Back pocket has a zipper to keep your treasures secured, and the pockets are mesh, making these pretty water friendly. Aside from functionality they still look good enough to grab a couple beers in. Highly recommend them and will probably be picking up a couple pairs. New go to shorts.

Favorite Shorts!
These are my new favorite all-around shorts. Got my first pair last May, and used them for hiking and everyday use. They're lightweight, stretchy, and dry quickly. They are a bit more fitted but not too tight. I love the versatility.

Great Feeling Casual Shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are great! They are lightweight which is exactly what i was looking for during the hot summer months in the south. At 5'l11 they sit just above the knee which is the style I wanted and the brick color looks great. So far Ive only worn them out casually but eventually ill get them out on a trail. That said, I have no reason to think they wont hold up as the build feels solid. Im quite happy with the purchase.

My Favorite Shorts
I've been using these shorts to hike in the Alps for a few months now and these are hands down my favorite shorts. The fit, cut, style, and comfort is perfect for everything from the trail to the city. The material is breathable, quick drying, and stretchy but still stylish.
