Good purchase
Lightweight, quick drying short. If OR adds a side slip pocket and additional color choices I would buy again. Back pocket has a good zipper and holds chapstick, keys, dog-do bags. Not big enough for my phone though. Lining is sheer and comfortable. Waistband is just wide enough with an inner flat drawcord. Fabric seems pretty snag resistant.

Love
Lovvveeee these shorts. Lightweight and flattering. The waist band and thigh openings aren’t too tight. I’m 5’8” 135 lbs and get the small. My only thing with these shorts is the material feels so thin and lightweight that I don’t trust they will last long before getting a rip.
