Great summer short!
The material is great, zip pockets are nice, and overall fit is good. These shorts are a tad tight around the thighs for me, but they are squat proof.

Shorts, run small
I bought them for my husband, he wears a size small in all pants and shorts (he’s 130 pounds), and these were super snug on him, size up. He loved the material though.

Nice material makes them very light and comfortable. Fit as expected and are a great athletic length. if you have larger than a 40 waist the XL's will be very tight.

Light weight shorts
These shorts are great for around the house and sporting activities. I usually through them on after I get all cleaned up in the evening and were them around the house. I think the would be great for running, working out, and other sports. I probably would not recommend them for anything in the field except fishing. They arm well made and very comfortable.

We hold youth fishing camps at the Outerbanks at Oregon Inlet, NC. These shorts performed well. Would like the addition of a side or back pocket. I like the zips on both front pockets.
