complimentary from prAna
I recently received the prAna Vintage Boardshort and Everyday Pocket Short Sleeve Tee for my husband, and they’ve quickly become part of his everyday rotation. The first thing he noticed was how comfortable both pieces are. The boardshorts have just the right amount of stretch, which makes a big difference for real life—whether that’s chasing a toddler, cleaning up the playroom, or just being on the move all day.

Not great if looking for board shorts.
Too tight in the legs for me. Also, the fabric when wet is too transparent.

Lightweight, Comfortable, and Easy Everyday Shorts
I received these boardshorts gifted by prana and wanted to share an honest review. The material is really lightweight and comfortable, not stiff like some shorts can be. The fit is true to size and they have a clean, simple look that works for everyday wear. What I like most is how easy they are to throw on and still look put together. They move well and hold up throughout the day, whether that’s being active or just hanging out. Overall, a solid, comfortable option and definitely something he’ll keep in regular rotation.

They're great
I like the style, the fit seems correct (32" measured waist, 32 fits well), and like the feel of the fabric. They're soft and the fabric has stretch. Hopefully I can get them on a surfboard soon.

Exactly as expected
Been swimming in these around a dozen times with same number washings. No signs of wear or deterioration. Fits as expected (32 waist). Waistband holds its shape and length is perfect for a board short. Contemplating an additional color….

No Liner
Great looking shorts but there was NO lining in them for swimming, so we had to send them back.
