"I love the deep purple color and stylish belt. I'm 5'3", 130lbs and got the medium which fits great (wish the belt had a tiny bit of give so they could be pull-on especially since the waist is stretchy but it's not a big deal)."
"Love these shorts. Got purple and they were awesome"
"Likely the best shorts I've worn. Super quality construction. Awesome mobility. Just buy them."
"Fit is true to size once they are on. Getting them over my hips was a bit snug, but I managed and once they were on they fit great. The waist adjustments are really helpful and the shorts stretch great. I’d say the only drawback is the slight compression on the rear of the shorts. The material is stretchy but they kind of flatten my butt a little. These shorts are very comfortable, the material is soft but feels very durable, and I can tell they will stay soft (as long as I follow the washing instructions). The adjustable waist belt is a game changer! Such a great addition to a pair of shorts like these. The pockets (for a pair of women’s shorts!) are super deep, I can carry my phone in my front pocket!! They are great for outdoor bouldering, hiking and general outdoor recreation. Will also make a great casual wear short in the late spring and summer. Love, love, love this soft purple color. BD is really branching out, I like the idea of light colored shot, but I can never get away with white, so this is a happy medium. Popped these bad boys on as soon as I got them and immediately found at least six different outfits that these will go with. So stoked."
