      Lightweight, dries quickly, so great for travel and water sports. I've bought several in different colors, and this year's model has a pretty print on the inside of the waistband, for those who like to roll down the waistband (not me). My older pairs have held up quite well to extended use and repeated washings.

          I finally found a pair of shorts that are long enough to cover my thighs. The industry makes suits and shorts for ultra skinny women who can wear short lengths. The average woman can't. Love these shorts except there's no liner inside. A black mesh panty liner should always be sewn in or at least included and detachable so you have a choice. Important for modesty when you're in and out of the water.

                I bought these shorts for boating and outdoor adventure. I originally purchased 2 sizes bigger because from past experience their clothes run small. However they were way too big so I returned and bought them in my size and they fit perfect! I love them and might buy more!

                  Great daily shorts for running around with my grandchildren. Hot dry climate makes these shorts ideal for summer wear. They are comfortable without being clingy.

                    I can throw on these shorts when I get home from work and know they will be comfortable and easy to throw in the wash.
                    Great for hiking, light bike riding and around water.

                        Pockets need to be deeper, or close off more on the open side. Things can fall out of these pockets when you sit down.
