These shorts have so many possibles due to the versatile design features that so many shorts lack. They hit me right above the knee for the inseam so i can feel like i'm achieving the dad style that so many men aspire to in their older years but without blinding people with my painfully pale upper thighs. The larger pockets are big enough to fit all the essentials (keys, wallet, phone) for a mid session beer run and are not so large that you will forget there are things in your pockets when its time for the surprise cannonball at the pool party. The only issue that I had is that the waist band felt a little loose, especially in the back so the shorts slid down on me a little which feels like a accidental wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen which is why I took a star off. I'm probably going to invest in another pair when they add more colorways.

First of all, I gotta say: these things are rad. They are comfortable for all day use, and the material is surprisingly durable. I wore this kayaking and rafting on the Payette River in Idaho for three days, and I never had a single issue on it! The lightweight mesh material on the inside is soft and holds everything in place. Its wonderful. The only reason I don't rate them a perfect 5 stars is because of the waistband stretch on the front; its kinda weird at first. Maybe its just me, but having those panels up there is a tiny bit distracting and weird feeling. Once you start doing something, it's not a huge deal, but really that was the only negative thing! I have a 35 waist, and I bought the large. Muy bueno, buy this thing if you like water and being in said water.

These are great! I got a pair for running and love them. At first, I was a little skeptical with the built-in underwear. But its awesome! They fit great and don't chafe at all. I will be wearing these on all my hikes and would recommend these to anyone looking for a great lightweight water short.

I just picked these sweet swim trunks up! I love the liner, it is just like having Saxx underwear on, but it's built in! I had the chance to wear these in Moab, UT recently and this is a great short for going from the trail to the water, it dries quickly, especially the liner, and fits well. I'm a 29in waist and the smalls fit pretty well thanks to the scruchy waist band and drawstring. I didn't give them 5 stars due the the feeling of the outer short material, it feels a little cheap and is not very soft on the skin. But other than that these things rock!

Really great combo of what you need for underwear included into a running short. The support inside these shorts is awesome and eliminates the bunching up that would be there if you wear anything underneath your running shorts. Some have solid support and these are no different. Really comfortable and basically the best of both worlds. Eliminates any rub and all around very comfortable short. Can also double as a solid boardshort.
