[ First, the pockets.... two large zippered pockets in front, another in back, and a deep side pocket as well. So functional. Next, quality... very well made and very polished look. And finally comfort.... love the light stretchy material. Great for fishing or not fishing!

5 pertybirdy
[ This is the second time I have purchased these shorts. I finally wore out the first pair which I purchased 2 years ago. I know the shorts are designed for fishing and ocean- related stuff. Yes, I use them for everyday wear as well as for the sport I play which is Lawn Bowls. The side pocket is great for holding everything from my lip balm to my measure for bowls. The only thing I find that is not so good is the stitching along the bottom of front pockets had to be resewn as this just does n't seem to hold. Other than that This is a great pair of shorts.

5 TatianaG
I ’ ve been wearing these all summer. They are so comfortable and flattering. I bought the purple in a large and the green in a medium. I think I ’ m just in between sizes as the large is just a tad too loose and the medium is very form fitting. I kept them both since they are such good quality and give different looks. For reference, I am 5 ’ 7 ”, 165 lbs, athletic build. Love the pockets, comfortable waist, and length. Definitely worth it! It ’s so hard to find great shorts and these are some of the best!

I have been looking for these for a while bought black and grey a few years ago and bought two pair this year cuz I love them so much.

5 Tammy
I 'm btwn a small and medium for bottoms, so I purchased a medium. There 's a little wiggle room, and could have gone down to a small. I like the length and that it fits nicely on my hips.

5 julia803
I got the coze up tank to go with it and it 's a perfect match. I normally wear smalls in Prana shorts but these had just a little too much room in them. I could tie them and make them fit perfectly but I would have to tie them very tightly and why sacrific the comfort. I 'm hoping the XS fits better.

5 RSO
Nice solid short for running or walking. The tie at waist is sewn on In one part so it doesn ’ t unravel or get lost in the wash. That ’s helpful. The crossover tie is a cute detail but not necessary.

5 ALM

I have a difficult time finding good shorts for hiking. I 've found that shorts with an a- line cut like this do n't ride up like most shorts do. They 're super flattering as well. I 'd love to see these in more colors in the future!

5 Reed D.
5 ’ 6 139 27/28 in jeans and 38. 5 at widest point of hips and the small fits great! Some shorts dig into my thighs but these do not. They almost have an A- line cut. Love them enough I ’ d like to eventually get another color!

I love these shorts! I wear them weekly for running. They are the perfect fit in every way. The shorts do n't budge with my phone in one pocket and a small( 250 ml) flat water bottle in the other pocket. They are good quality and are n't see through. Great price point too!

The biker shorts are a smooth comfortable material. They do well with running and stay on your hips. There are two pockets on each side which is great for a long walk to hold your miscellaneous items. The shorts fit true to size and have great belly control.

5 Hortencia E
I love these they are so comfortable, they fit right with your body and they are so comfortable. They are n't see through squat proof!!!! Perfect for the gym, shopping a day out with your friends. I love them.

5 Marky/Jen
Super comfortable fit and they did not ride up at all. I was able to put my phone in one pocket, keys, and running fuel in the other pocket and I couldn ’ t feel them move. They also didn ’ t roll down at the top at all. Would recommend but maybe more of a spring/fall running short over high temperature since the material is a little thicker.

Really nice, quality, comfortable shorts. The elastic waist is really nice, and I love the stripe down the front, it gives them a nice look.

I ordered a Large based on the size guide and they fit perfectly! I am a size 14 in jeans and typically get XL in pants, so I am glad I read the measurements before ordering. I foresee myself wearing these shorts all the time once the temps rise. The fabric is really nice and the pockets are a nice addition to the shorts. Also, the rise of the shorts hits at the right spot on the waistline, not too high and not too low. The color is even better in person!

I have n't gotten to wear these out yet, but from trying them I think they 're going to be great for the summer! I work outside, and finding comfortable shorts that are n't too short is definitely tricky. I would suggest sizing down, based on the size chart I needed a 2X, but I tried on the XL in store and they have PLENTY of room. They have a 6 '' inseam, which is a little longer than I usually like, but will still be comfortable. Rated durability a 3 because I have n't really put them to the test yet.

Comfy fit and matches well with the shirt. Kind of dressy but casual.

These shorts are roomy, soft, and have a comfortable fit with elastic waistband. Zip pocket is a nice feature. Drawstring is both fuuctional and looks nice. Would recommend these shorts for outdoor or indoor use.

5 CJB5
These alpine shorts are great. I love the serene blue color. The shorts are true to size and fit well. It hits more mid- rise, which I really like and the waist is n't too tight and the length is just right. The only negative is the material. It 's different- kind of crinkly- but very comfortable at the same time.

5 Camille
My son loves these shorts. I told him They ’ d be great for mowing the lawn, he ’ d prefer to wear them for soccer practice. They wash up great, his only complaint is that there 's not much give to the elastic waist.

5 Mom of 3
These are terrific every day shorts. These are perfectly long enough. The material is breathable and light weight. These are very comfortable shorts. I love how versatile these shorts are. I love wearing these at the lake and hiking.

5 MargaretH1
Lightweight shorts that will be great for warm weather and water activities. Slightly baggy as other reviews mention but that 's probably an advantage as this material( crinkly swim trunk vibes) does not stretch. Debating buying a second pair!

[ I have a tough time finding shorts that fit me well. When I do find them, I buy them in bulk, in every color. My last favorites were Columbia( from 4- 5 years ago), which I had to `` retire '' this year... they 've seen a lot of wear, and have held up great! I recently ordered 4 different styles in a few different sizes. This style fit me the best, so I bought 5 pair. I am 5' 7 '', 130 lbs, and 60 yo. I have long, lean legs, and a short waist. I have shorts that fit me well from size 4- 8, just depends on the style. I tried size 6 in the 5 '' inseam, but the waist was a little snug, so I returned for size 8, which fit perfectly. I still have room in the hips, but they fit nicely and give me some shape. And my legs do n't look like sticks hanging out of a barrel!;) This fabric has a nice, silky feel to it. Some of the others I tried were a bit stiff and `` papery '' feeling. I highly recommend these.

These shorts are very comfortable and almost feel like you 're wearing shapewear. They suck you in and hold you in tight. I wear them under one of the long Calia dresses. I am a PE teacher and wanted shorts for if/when my dress came up.

5 Lfly2
I like the length of these shorts they ’ re not too long, but they cover enough for me to feel comfortable to sit on gym equipment. And I like the tummy control without it being too tight and constricting. Good purchase.

These shorts are super cute and great for golf. They have SPF 50 and then which I think is so interesting. I wish I would ’ ve sized down as the medium is a little bit too big for me, but they are still wearable. The fabric is very breathable and easy to wear and has a high level of comfort.

5 NicoleF
I am obsessed with these shorts. They looks super cute and flattering on, but the best part is how comfortable they are. I was between sizes and sized up, but would have definitely been fine in either size. I love the true navy color, they match so much in my wardrobe.

5 BrealyneJ
These athletic shorts are amazing! They are the perfect fit, they sit comfortably on my stomach, where it doesn ’ t hurt my surgery scars! They ’ re super cute, and the design is easy to style! The length is very modest in any event! It ’s also super easy to wash, with easy washing care instructions!

Bought the black and navy versions of these and loved the fit. No liner- which I hate. Wanted to keep the white version but they ’ re too see through. They are a little pricey but the material is great.

These shorts are AMAZING!! Nice enough to dress up, casual enough to wear around town. They are super comfortable and are a nice fit. I am 47 years old, 5' 8 '' and 136 lbs and I wear a small in these. I own them in every color and get complements each time I wear them. They wash well and stains easily come out. Wish they came in more colors. They also taper a little on the back thigh( so they do n't just go flat down from your butt), which gives the short a nice, more contoured look which makes them look appropriate for a woman of my age and gives then a more expensive look. HIGHLY recommend.

High quality and made with materials that will last and hold up through multiple washes. I brought a size bigger to have the skirt effect but probably should have just got normal size.

Frequently Asked Questions For Women's Upf Shorts

UPF shorts are designed to provide protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. The UPF rating indicates how much UV radiation can penetrate the fabric, helping to reduce the risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage. For women who spend time outdoors, especially during sunny weather, wearing UPF shorts can be an essential part of sun safety.

Women's UPF shorts are typically made from lightweight, breathable fabrics that offer both comfort and sun protection. Common materials include polyester, nylon, and spandex blends, which provide stretch and moisture-wicking properties. These materials help keep you cool and dry while also blocking UV rays.

Yes, women's UPF shorts are versatile and suitable for a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, golfing, cycling, and beach outings. Their lightweight and breathable nature makes them comfortable for active use, while the sun protection feature ensures that you can enjoy your time outdoors without worrying about UV exposure.

When selecting women's UPF shorts, consider both the fit and style that best suits your activities. Look for options that offer a comfortable waistband, adequate length, and a cut that allows for ease of movement. It's also helpful to check sizing charts and customer reviews to ensure you find the right fit for your body type.

While women's UPF shorts are primarily designed for warm weather, they can also be layered with tights or leggings in cooler seasons for added warmth and sun protection. This versatility allows you to enjoy outdoor activities year-round while still benefiting from the UV protection that UPF shorts provide.

When evaluating comfort and durability in women's UPF shorts, look for features such as moisture-wicking fabrics, flatlock seams to reduce chafing, and reinforced stitching for longevity. Additionally, consider the weight of the fabric; lighter materials often provide better breathability, while heavier options may offer more durability for rugged activities.
