Good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like them so far but aren't as comfortable as I would like

Great shorts! Bring back the leg pockets

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the predecessor of these shorts in 2019 and like them so much I decided to get some additional ones so I got two more. They are well constructed with high quality fabric. I like the tailoring which is comfortable and fits me very nicely. The 2019 model had nifty side pockets built into the legs. Unfortunately, those pockets are gone. (Bring them back!) There are now zip fanny pockets which are OK, but are a bit small if you want to put a wallet in one. Also, given that these are tight fitting shorts, the leg pockets are a better place to put things like your wallet and phone. Overall, this is a great short, degraded a bit by the redesign. It could also benefit by a better color selection.

great fitting shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered these for my husband. He is very picky about shorts and pants because he is on the shorter side. He likes them so much I ordered another pair. He likes how they fit and feel. They arent too long. He also likes the built in adjustable belt. I'm thinking of ordering a pair for each of my sons too.

I like the style!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the style. To me they have the functionality of cargo shorts the doesn't scream it on style due to the design and material. I have had one pair for a year and I just bought two more. Would definitely buy again.

My new "go to" shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a great all purpose casual short. The only issue I have with them is there is no place to put the tip of the belt. I just tuck it into the waist band and they are still comfortable to wear. I was asked twice where I got the shorts so I think the style is also appealing.

These are made SO cheaply

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm so sad that these are now made so cheaply but cost the same. The fabric used to be 91 nylon and 9 elasten now I don't even know it doesn't say but they feel cheap cheap cheap!!!!!

Love these! I'm up to my third pair.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these! I fish and am outdoors a good bit. Tennis, jogging or even on the lake, you will enjoy these. Order 1 size (at least for me). I'm a 33 in pants and I have been ordering 34 and they feel great.

Way too small

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So as many reviews have said way too small! I measure a 30" waist so I ordered a 31" and they were not even close to fitting me I would likely need a 34" so size up. Other than that the pockets are small but for me that is not a deal breaker as I would always have a backpack while hiking. The zippered back pockets are a plus and the material feels great.
