Solid across the board

Wearing these across most activities. Performs great, no complaints. Four stars just because the liner is a bit loose on me and thought it was going to be more a compression feeling.

Good Hybrid Shorts

Love these for activities around the water. Use them for training, paddle boarding, yoga and anything with the pool.

Fit Well

Big recommend on these shorts. I plan to buy another pair after being so satisfied with the first. The fit feels right and the shell dries quickly from water sports.

Perfect for Everything

Honestly these are the first swim shorts I’ve owned that I’ll wear outside the pool. Fit is clean, not baggy, and they dry quick. Wore them straight from swimming to lunch and nobody noticed they were trunks

Hybrid Short

It was finally time to upgrade and glad I did! We live San Diego and I wear these almost every day now. The liner is very comfortable and airy. The fit feels great and wearing them just for everything.

Works for the Gym

I prefer the Hydro Short than the Core Short for workouts and the gym actually. The fit is slightly shorter by 1" on the inseam, which I prefer, and everything else is just as good. The shell dries quickly and the liner is breathable. Heads up that it is not ideal for swimming laps because it has a liner, but really great shorts otherwise.

Best beach shorts I own. Very well planned pockets. Fits just right. 10/10

Good for Watersports

Well crafted shorts with good color options, I think it is a nice touch that the liner is different colors not just black. Good shorts for the boat, beach, pool and keeping it casual. Will occassionally workout in them without complaint. Big thumbs up!

Good for Hiking Too

Curveball ... I actually take these hiking more often than to the beach because the liner is so breathable and they move so well. Recently put them through the paces on a 20 mile scramble with no complaints.

The Hybrid Short

Very satisfied so far. These shorts perform great in and out of water, and have been heavy in the rotation all summer. Well done.

Ordered Hybrid Short

I found the liner a little looser than expected, but overall I would recommend. My order was medium in crimson, which looks very classy and fits well. I am 5,11 and generally wear medium for shorts. These ended just an inch above knee. Recommend.

Versatile Vacation Shorts

So happy with these! Had 3 pairs for our trip to Costa Rica and that's all I needed all day every day.

Not Just Swim Trunks

What I like is they don’t scream ‘swim trunks.’ Just look like normal shorts. Easy to throw on and go from the pool to hanging out. Maybe too many pockets tho?

Tested and Approved!

Took these on a trip and basically wore them every day. They pack small, don’t stay wet long, and the liner is actually comfortable (rare). Zero complaints so far.

Favorite Swim Trunks

These are my favorite in the line, over the Core and Run shorts. I love the design and fit on me. For someone 5'9 and 185 I'm usually between sizes, but the L fit me really well and I've since bought a few pairs.

Great for Watersports

I rock these for all things watersports and have complaints so far. The shells wicks water away super quick and the liner dries pretty fast. Very happy with them.

Gamechangers

Great shorts and fit true to size. The mesh waistband is a nice touch and dries quickly. My favorite feature is the phone pocket, which is advertised a "gamechanger"
