cute but too small!

Size Bought:
XS
Height:
5' 4"
Weight:
117

These seem great, but the XS was too small: I'm 5'4, about 117 lbs, and these are too tight in the waist and crotchy. I wish the S was in stock!

Pretty good.

Like it so far. Deep pockets in front are great. Minus a star because there's only one pocket in the back. Where did the other one go? I'm 5'4, 120 pounds, small tush and Xsm fits well.

Favorite all purpose shorts

Hiking, climbing, running, road-tripping. The fabric (light but durable) and fit are great. The waistband is super comfy, even with a climbing harness. I own 3 pairs!

Great shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shorts fit well (I'm 5'5" 140) and are super comfy. I especially like the soft waistband and pull-on style. I bought them for fieldwork on the water but I wear them all the time. I highly recommend them.

My favorite shorts pls bring back next season

These for like a dream and can be dressed up or down. I love the black as they look classy and green for daily wear. I think the flat waist is flattering on the stomach and they're definitely my favorite shorts

I would buy again!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I wear these everywhere. My thighs don't gobble these as I walk and I love them. I'm between sizes 5'2" 164 lbs and they are a bit loose, the zendo M pants are a tight but good fit.

Comfy shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a walker and I needed some lightweight shorts for the summer. These are a nice neutral green with three excellent pockets. I can put my phone in any of the pockets and it doesn't drag the shorts down. I also really like the waistband! Very soft and comfortable.
