Sizing has changed!!

I own seven pairs of these shorts that I have ordered over the last three to four years, all in size 10. The waist on my recent pair ordered in July 2022 is a good 1" shorter! It's very frustrating for your loyal customers when sizing changes or is inconsistent.

Perfect fit!

I’m a guy that does not like long shorts and these shorts “ all though women’s” fit great. Wish they made men’s that fit like this. They are very comfortable, stretchy and not baggy. I would say perfect.

I hope you don't stop making these

Best shorts I've ever owned. I bought all the colors, including the pink ones you used to have. Hope you don't stop making these and add more colors. Like others have said, these are great if you have a straighter figure. I'm so tired of women's clothes being made only for hourglass figures. I can't tolerate restrictive waist bands (especially elastic) but if I find shorts that fit my waist, the legs are huge. These are perfect, and I like the drawstring closure! I also like that they are light, because heavy shorts fall down on us straight figured gals due to not having enough hips or booty to hold them up. Please don't stop making these!

I returned this item

Somehow the shorts didn't fit properly. They didn't feel comfortable and they didn't look good on me.

Shorts for all activities

These shorts are comfy, light weight, breathable and cute. I've used them to hike, around town or just chilling at home. Very versatile! Because they are so light, they are my go to shorts in hot AZ. I plan on purchasing more.

Great waterproof shorts!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these shorts! I bought them for a hike where you wade through hip-high water and was pleasantly surprised that they were dry as soon as I left the water. They are very comfortable and a great length, with a slightly slimmer fit, so they hug your thighs. Great for hiking, tubing, kayaking and so much more!

very comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The top rides below the waist which is great. There is no problem with the material poking your middle when you sit. I like them a lot.

Material shows pantylines and tight around thighs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wanted to love these but they were tight around my thighs (even though the waist was loose), and the material was much thinner than I expected. It showed everything underneath. Sent them back.
