"These are comfy and a decent fit. BD sizing continues to befuddle me, as I cannot fit into the size M notion SP pants (I need a size L). . . but the notion size M shorts fit fine (and if anything are slightly large). Go figure. . ."
"My husband had these shorts and we both loved them… so had to get myself a pair - cute and functional! Love them"
"Great for hiking or lounging- comfortable and ease of movement."
"This will be a summer staple for me. I bought a few in different colors. I usually wear an xs (5'2", 110lbs, muscular build). The shorts fit nice however, I noticed quite a bit of variability in the size from one xs to another. I think the elastic and drawstring will help this but one pair in particular is boarderline too big otherwise would have given a 5."
"Love these shorts when it is warm. I have long legs, but still find them the perfect short short length. They are so comfortable - I need to snag another pair since it is all I want to wear in the summer!"
"Can be too warm on a hot day."
"Love these shorts. They are roomy and easy to move in. A bit short for me when wearing a harness, but a go-to option for warm bouldering sessions. Also just look good for a casual work outfit."
