“I really like this short! I've worn it a few times already since buying it, since when hiking I know there's a chance I might be wading in a lake or stream. It's really comfortable and a good length. I have a fairly athletic body (love to hike yet will never turn down mac n cheese) and ordered my usual size. For reference I also own certain Baggies shorts by another company and the leg holes on those can sometimes squeeze on my thighs depending on my position, but these have more give. I did buy it at a discount so for me the value is definitely there.”

Reviews

Cute shorts, but..

"I really want to love these shorts. I typically wear a size small in athletic/ outdoors shorts, so that's what I purchased these in. They were super tight so I ended up exchanging them for a size M, which fit perfectly. I love the blue color and the material. However, the second time I wore them, I accidentally spilled a drop of olive oil on them while cooking. I spot cleaned it which didn't work. No big deal, but after throwing them in the wash, the spot turned into a huge dark blob that appears to be permanent. There's something about the material that's hard to clean I guess, really sucks since I did like how the shorts look."

I love these shorts

"I love the hybrid shorts. I actually wait for them to finally be listed for women every season. I now have them in 4 different colors. I love these because they are the perfect short to take on any activity. I always get compliments on them when I am biking, running, swimming, hiking the Grand Canyon or exploring Carlsbad Caverns. BUY THESE SHORTS! but if you have any thigh meat get a size bigger otherwise they will be very tight on your legs. You'll have to sacrifice a looser waist though. UBB please make the leg opening larger. (red is small and orange is medium)"

Great shorts!

"I love these shorts! Glad to have a beach type short that are sustainable! Wore them to an amusement park and they were great! Didn’t dry as quickly as I thought but I still recommend! I will say that they were a little tighter on my thighs that I thought they would be, but the waist was a little big!"

— Courtney Y. (4/5)

Love!!!!

"These shorts are comfortable and perfect for outdoor fun! The colors are awesome and they’ve been my go-to since this heatwave started!"

— Missy M. (5/5)

Perfect adventure shorts

"I wear these shorts everywhere. Hiking, kayaking, swimming, biking, and for everyday wear. They are light weight and dry quickly. They are the perfect length (not too short). I own them in every color! If you are between sizes, size down or it could bunch under the waistline in an unflattering way."

— Kaitlyn O. (5/5)

So comfortable

"These shorts are great! They're very comfy and light weight perfect for hot weather."

— Brianna B. (5/5)

Cute Shorts

"These shorts are great and very cute. It is nice to have something that I can wear out that can get wet and dry really quickly if needed."

— Amelia G. (5/5)

These are by fair one

"These are by fair one of the favorite pairs of sporty shorts in my summer wardrobe. I purchased my first pair last year and bought another pair in a different color this year! The cut is super flattering. I receive compliments on them almost every time I wear them out."

— Jaclyn J. (5/5)

These are the perfect shorts.

"These are the perfect shorts. Comfortable, relaxed fit, flattering cut. I'm a hefty size 4 pants and the small fit perfect (5' 2" and 135ish lbs.) I bought the grey and they match anything."

— Kelly J. (5/5)

Perfect for a Summer Hike

"These shorts are perfect for a summer hike in the mountains of WNC. They dry quickly after jumping in a swimming hole or getting caught in a rainstorm. These shorts aren't too tight around the waist and are the perfect length where I don't worry about my cheeks showing if I bend over."

— Susan C. (5/5)
