What customers say:
Customers overwhelmingly praise these shorts for exceptional comfort, lightweight fabric with subtle stretch, and breathability ideal for all-day wear and outdoor activities. Many highlight moisture-wicking properties, easy care, and versatile design that transitions from hiking to casual errands. Rear zip pockets and deep storage are frequently appreciated. However, many note the shorts run small, requiring sizing up one to two sizes for comfortable fit. Despite fit concerns, most customers express strong satisfaction and make repeat purchases in multiple colors, considering them excellent once properly sized.

I bought 2 pair of my usual size but returned. The fabric is "thin" compared to typical cotton blend shorts and it was more snug. Every belly roll showed.

Mostly good
These shorts are good enough, but the fit is not quite right. The size is correct, but they are just not as comfortable and I am not sure why. Lightweight, great for hot weather.

Wish the pockets were bigger. I am a golfer and find I can’t place as many golf tees in my pocket. I have already lost a golf marker from the pocket.

Great shorts

Used for: Travel, Relaxing, Casual or Every Day, Camping, Hiking
Comfortable fabric, just enough stretch. Leg length is perfect. Only reason why I didn’t give it 5 stars is the logo has started to wash off.

Nice but too snug
Weight: 130-140 lbs
Height: 5'4"
Size Purchased: Medium
Used for: Casual or Every Day
I agree with other reviews. These are nice shorts, very light-weight and possibly made of moisture-wicking materials, which would be great for long hikes, but the fit is too snug.
