Unexpected Comfort
My wife purchased these 5” lined Brinco shorts and I was initially concerned with the liner, as most lined shorts are uncomfortably snug. The Brinco 5” shorts are incredibly comfortable to relax, hike, or swim. They are my new favorites.

Perfect for summer!
The length is perfect and fits true to size. I was hesitant to buy them because of the lining, but I barely notice them.

Great fit & very comfortable
Wanted a shorter short for more active yoga and such. Found them on the first try! I went back to order the same style of shorts in different colors.
