This is my second pair of these shorts..... The shorter length is definitely a better look that the longer shorts out there.... I never liked that look, too dorky!! Anywho.... great fit, comfort and style and then there is the Prana stretch

5 msp1
I 've owned many pairs of the original Stretch Zion shorts and now have moved to the new version. The new Stretch Zion II is has a few changes, but in my opinion, they are still a great pair of shorts. The minor changes like the plastic button and the new fabric still work fine and did n't bother me. Going to the plastic button from the metal one only took a few times of wearing them to get easier to button. The new fabric is still super soft and comfortable but has a sort of shine to it when the light hits them just right. Not a big deal for me. The things that make these my favorite shorts are the comfortable fabric, the adjustable waist band, the color options, and the different pockets. They are also very versatile, I can wear them for activities like hiking and also to a nice restaurant. I own multiple pairs because I wear them all summer.

5 DeanD
I love these shorts and remain super impressed with prAna ’s quality and design. It is my Go To for travel and hiking clothes. My choice used to be Patagonia, but it has turned into more of a fashion company and the quality has nosedived and prices skyrocketed in recent years.

5 J
Good fit, very comfortable for all activities. Nice looking enough to wear out to dinner but also durable enough for hiking. Love the built in belt.

Near perfect short that ’s easily pulled on and off fits right looks good

5 MonicaV
Before receiving these I never heard of the VRST brand so I am glad to know they have clothing for people who are active outside. First thing about these shorts is the fabric, they are made from nylon/elastin. This combo gives you a very soft stretch short that feels great on the skin and moving around will be a breeze due to the stretch it provides. Second the fabric has moisture wicking technology to prevent being sweaty and sticky as you move around. The next big plus is the 50 UPF which stands for ultraviolet protection factor meaning any area the clothing is covering will be guarded from the rays outside. Overall if you or someone you live with is active and loves being outside this brand is essential in your wardrobe.

5 TaylorB
These are so nice!! They ’ re so nice and breathable and the fabric is so soft and comfy. They are stretchy and look great as well. My husband is so excited to golf in these!

5 DillonM

5 Becky W.
[ Very, very comfortable. Soft and stretchy. They look and feel high quality. Cute and appropriate for work. I ’ m 5 ’ 10 ” 155lbs, usually a size 8 or size 29/30. I bought a 29 and feel like they ’ re almost too big( which is rare for me). If you ’ re in between sizes I recommend sizing down. Overall worth the price!

5 Mike M.
[ These are stylish, stretchy and comfy shorts with a very modest length- they can be worn to the beach or out to a casual dinner. The waist fit is mostly TTS with some room unlike usual jean shorts- I ’ m usually a 27- 28 and got a 27 and have some room, but they aren ’ t about to fall down or anything. I also liked the off- white ones but decided I didn ’ t need two pairs of the same thing. Might regret later. Don ’ t miss out on these buttery Jean shorts!!

[ Great fit and material. Another fantastic option from faherty. Plan to get in other colors.

Material is great quality and silky soft. These are high waisted and do not roll at the waist. They are tight to the skin but do not cut into the thigh. Great for working out or lounging at the house. Pockets on the side for phone or keys. The color is vibrant and has not faded. The overall quality is great and worth the purchase.

5 Jen
These new longer skirts are great when you need a little extra coverage. They don ’ t look sloppy or frumpy. They flare just a bit so I would size down if in doubt. The blue dusk is pretty. I got the gray also but to me the color is off. It has a light green or aqua tint to it? I ’ m sure I ’ ll grab the black though.

5 Jessica
I am a size 6, and the small fits me well. The skirt length and material are flattering while the liner shorts are comfy and breathable. I find the pockets to be useful and well- placed. My best friend is a 4, and the small fit her well too.

Had a chance to go golfing with my new VRST men ’s shorts the other day. Love the way they stretch at the waist because I gained a few pounds this winter. And had a few compliments on the shorts and these guys I play with don ’ t usually give them out. The zippered front pocket is pretty neat. But I do miss a back pocket. But I can tell you that I need a few more colors which I will be getting soon. Thanks for letting me try these out.

The fit and cut is perfect( definitely true to size). It has the perfect amount of stretch. Was worried it would give off golf short vibes, but they do not. I could sleep in these they ’ re so incredible!!

[ These shorts are so cute! They have the athletic feel to them but can also be dressed up( I had someone ask me if they were “ work shorts ” haha) super comfortable& recommend!

5 CaliC
[ The PerfectStretch shorts are the most versatile shorts I own. I can wear them on the golf course, to church, or just hanging out. They are incredibly comfortable and they allow me to move freely. The 6 inch length is just right. I live in a hot and humid climate and these shorts are my go to because of how light and breathable they are.

5 KL503
[ These shorts are really well made. The fabric is really thick and feels like the shorts will be very durable. The fit is a little snug but everything is made from stretch material so they ’ re still really comfortable. The length is perfect for an above the knee look, but not so short that they make me uncomfortable. I love that these can look casual with an untucked t- shirt, but you can also dress them up too. They have belt loops and waist closures like a pair of slacks. Also the plastic key chain look on the waistband is a nice touch too. I ’ d definitely recommend these as a versatile pair of shorts that can go with everything.

5 DJwhizzle
[ These shorts are beyond comfortable! The length stops just above the knee, and the fit is neither too tight nor too loose. They run true to size, and the material is the classic Dri- FIT fabric that wicks away moisture. While they ’ re perfect for golf, tennis, or any other sport where you want a slightly dressier look, they ’ re also great for casual outings during the warmer months.

They have a sewn- in liner that does n't feel like typical, swim- trunk liners, the material is so soft you wont even know you 're wearing them. Pockets are deep enough to hold a wallet, keys and a phone. The shorts I received lie just above the knee, at 5' 9, I love that... they dont make me look shorter. I 'm 250lbs and the XXL fit perfect. They 're also perforated just below the belt line and down the inseam.... it really makes a difference in keeping you cool down there!!

Men ’s VRST 7 ” shorts. These shorts are very comfortable. Although they have a lining inside the shorts that I ’ m not crazy about, they get the job done. They don ’ t stay wet long which is always a plus when working out.

These shorts are incredible. They fit perfectly, have a great drawstring, are moisture wicking( I work out, swim, run and hike in them) are subtle enough to wear with anything, but still have the signature cotopaxi color pop with the llama logo and are the perfect length. Could not recommend them more. I 've already bought three pairs, and I 'm buying three more since I 've started wearing them everyday. Take my word for it, you wo n't be disappointed.

5 Manuel L.
Great fit, feels nice and light, love the color as well. going to be able to use these for all the activites, from climbing and running, to even swimming and camping!

5 Hunter D.
I have tried every pair of shorts Cotopaxi has made over the past few years and these are by far the best. Super light and comfortable and love the zipper pocket. They are perfectly short too, maybe like a 7 ” inseam. Got complements on them on the first wear and now have 3 colors.

5 Kelley H.
My husband loves these and wears them all of the time.

5 Matt M.
Amazing fit and feel. Truly special pair of shorts. Lightweight and breathable, they 're so comfortable that sometimes I forget I 'm even wearing them. You can feel and see the thoughtful design that went into these shorts. Would 110% recommend to a friend, and would buy another pair in a heartbeat if mine ever rip beyond repair or get lost. Bonus- very effective and minimalistic packaging all around. I could tell right away how intentional this approach plays in saving our planet. Bravo, Cotopaxi!

Solid feel for the runners and athletes. On first wear, came off a little stiff but I ’ m sure the fabric will give more in time after wears and washes. The liners are a bit snug and bunches up when squatting. However, I ’ d buy again. Solid shorts!

These are my new favorite shorts! Wow! Super comfortable, super light, and so very stylish. These are premium shorts that can be compared to very high end brands. I won ’ t mention the brand, but it rhymes with frou- frou- Lemon. These are just as nice, just as well made, and$ 30 cheaper. I love the navy color, I love the shorter length, and I love their versatility. I thought I would just go running in them, but now I wear them to CrossFit and even just our with friends( they have pockets!). Excellent buy!
