[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Haven't used for long yet but feel these will be a keeper. These shorts have zippered pockets on the bottom sides, which make them flare out in a strange way. They almost keep the leg holes more open. I have decided I don't mind this though it is very different from most shorts. I do appreciate that there are small zippered pockets although I don't know what will fit in them yet. The fit is very roomy which is terrific. Great for people with thighs. Love the different length options; got short. The material is a thicker nylon; so feels like I would want to bring them on some granite rocks at the river. But, am not sure yet how fast they'd dry. Not running material, for sure. I'm not sure yet if the belt will make it uncomfortable under a backpacking waist strap; probably. Changes I would make: The end of the belt is too long and I wish there were somewhere to tuck it. And the logo is very conspicuous and thickly embroidered on in white; wish it were flat and navy or another blue like the shorts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just some stylish shorts. The waist is elastic and fits well; the buckle strap can add a little more security but is a mostly aesthetic touch. Love the pattern and accents. I wear a 33" waist and the mediums fit quite nice, and I love the short inseam option. Might buy another pair!
