5 out of 5 stars Good water shorts   July 1, 2008
A. Castellanos (DR)
I got these shorts in "sage/cypress" color, and they are great. They look nice and are very comfortable.

Based on the reviews I saw here, I decided to get the small size, even though I usually wear medium sized pants and shorts. This proved to be a wise decision.

I weared them for going white water rafting, and they really kept up to the challenge of such a demanding activity. They never felt down.



5 out of 5 stars Good for water... depends for swimming   February 14, 2008

I started swimming again and bought this water trunk to wear. It fits nicely around my waist, but I feel that it's so loose around my thighs that there is a lot of drag as I swim. This isn't good if you want to swim fast, but it turns out it works fine for strength/endurance training. So all in all, I'm happy.

The drawstrings and elastic waist band seem durable too. I have to pull the drawstring pretty tightly so that the trunks fit comfortably snug around my waist, and I don't get the impression I'll tear the elastic band unless I intentionally do so.

My husband loves these. He wears them around the house on warm days. Light weight and not the long legs so many trunks have.

These shorts are great!! I've been looking for something like them for a long time, but couldn't find any. They are extremely comfortable, and it is nice to be able to have my wallet and keys in the pockets instead of carrying them around. I will definitely buy more of them.

These shorts are lightweight, sturdy, well cut for a number of activities and good enough to wear under any circumstance not just as a water short. The pockets are roomy but certainly a risk as you may be carrying something you don't want to get wet.
