Love these

I got these as board shorts to swim in for more coverage while on an adventure trip. They were great for this use. I suppose I could use them biking, but definitely not bike specific. I wear between a M and L in most pants- 148#, size 8-10 with belly and butt. The medium were too snug for my curves but if you are straighter a M would work. They are thin but hold up well so far to my adventures. Would buy again and recommend.

Light and comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable and light. Love the snap buttons plus the tie drawstring. They are great for active pursuits, but also cute to wear as a casual short.

Love the length and fit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These have quickly become my favorite shorts. They fit well and are perfect length. So had to find shorts that are not too short. I am thinking of buying a few more pairs so I can wear them every day of summer.

Have purchased several.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are great. As an active older woman they are both attractive looking and functional. Would love additional colors, maybe a navy!

No. They need to go back to las5 years sizing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You have changed your size. Waist is 1 inch smaller with no elastic. So disappointed. I now wear North Face and they are cheaper.
