Feels Too Big for Size 8 and Too Short By Carmen from Navasota, TX on 09/25/2009 Pros: Breathable, Bright, Comfortable, Lightweight, Pretty Cons: Irregular Fit, Too wide for legs Best Uses: Camping, Casual Wear, Running/Hiking, Travel Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I wear a size 8 but the M (size 8-10) was too big for me. Also the shorts don't come to my knees like I thought they would, nor do they come up to my waist. They are a lot wider than the width of my leg. A lot of heavy weight from a backpack would cause these shorts to slide down my waist because they are only attached at the top by velcro. Basically I take a backpack everywhere I go, as it is an essential tool for my job. The fabric is really thin, so I wonder if the shorts would be sturdy enough to not tear if I caught them on a branch or thorny bush. I work as an environmental educator outdoors. I like the color and I think it would keep me cool and dry if it actually fit me. There are too many cons, though, to try to see if another size might fit.
By on the go girl from florida on 09/10/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: very comfortable although they are see through. I sent back, too revealing. I was looking for a casual everyday short. this is more like a cover up for the beach.

If it would have fit properly then it would have been great for walking. I will keep them for a bathing suit cover up.

By elizabethga from Georgia on 04/30/2009 Pros: Breathable, Dries Quickly, Lightweight Cons: Poor Material or Construction Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: While these shorts may be quick-drying, the fabric is so thin that it's absolutely see-through. The only use I can imagine is possibly over a swimsuit. Otherwise, I would not wear them in public. I returned them immediately.
By Maddog's Mommy from Durango, CO on 04/14/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Dries Quickly, High-Quality Material and Stitching, Lightweight Best Uses: Backpacking, Camping, Casual Wear, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These are nice shorts. The material is very light and will be good during the heat of summer. They are mid-lenght shorts. I wish they were a tad longer and came in more colors but I think these will work well for our Florida vacation.
By LuAnn from Cincinnati, OH on 04/12/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight Best Uses: Casual Wear, Travel, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: They weren't what I was expecting, but they are really comfortable and I enjoy them.
By Currie from Idaho on 01/14/2009 Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: These are not what I thought they would be. The waist is high, the length is long, and the material is more of a work out short feel. It is like I am wearing shorts that are cut like slacks but the material of workout shorts.
By 4badgerfans from Milwaukee, WI on 11/19/2008 Pros: Breathable, High-Quality Material and Stitching, Lightweight, Stylish, Washes Well Best Uses: beach, Camping, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These shorts are perfect for wearing with a one-piece swimsuit if you don't want to go the swim-skirt route. Very lightweight material so I would not wear these except for very casual use. Velcro closure doesn't hold as well as I'd like, as other reviewers said, but for wearing at the beach and pool they are perfect.

Otherwise material is great, light with hardly any seams.
