[ I live in the south where it is hot most of the time, so these shorts are the best. The fit is just right, and I am a larger man, 44 '' waste, and the looks are very good, i even wear them for some semi- formal occasions. I like them so much that i eventually purchased 2 more pair. You will really enjoy these. Watch the fit, and make sure you order you size.

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.

[ This swimsuit fits perfect.

5 RightyTighty
[ These are great trunks, very lightweight but made well enough to last. The only complaint is they run about a half size large. I ordered the XL which is my size in 95% of all swim trunks, but would consider a L next time.

[ Just received these in the blue gingham and the color and quality are great! Perfect summer purchase.

I originally tried these shorts last year and loved them. I have since bought two more and a few of the other style shorts as well. Nothing has been as comfortable to wear or as versatile as these shorts.

This is my fourth pair and by far the best shorts I ’ ve owned. Soft with deep pockets and durable.

5 RafeW
These are the absolute best shorts for any occasion.

It ’s pretty difficult to find a good pair of six inch shorts. And I think free fly did them really well and I really appreciate the effort you put into creating the shorts. They fit me perfectly. I ’ m about 5 ’ 8 ” and I weigh about 140 pounds

[ I now have PFG shorts and the live up to my hopes. Besides comfort, they are a lightweight stretch material that dries easily while giving sun protection. Have also found that the p stands for performance, and it is the truth. Very durable. Have used the PFG clothing in rough area and it always Performs.

5 DYNSXLN
[ I have three pairs of these shorts. The fabric is cool and a little bit stretchy. Wash easily and look like new after many wearings. Great as a bathing suit as they dry quickly. I highly recommend.

[ 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.

This is my 3rd active breeze skort purchase. This year I transitioned from another brand and I am very happy with the functionality of this skort. I am in between a XS and S but went with the XS as the S had a bit more skirt material than I wanted. For reference I 'm 50yo, 5'6 and 125lbs.

I absolutely love these shorts! Perfect fit, even on a long run they do not ride up. Unfortunately, I put mine in the dryer and they haven ’ t been exactly the same since. I would love to order another pair and the surf blue, but you no longer have my size in stock. Would love it if you would bring these back in a size small!!

Frequently Asked Questions For Fly Fishing Shorts

When selecting fly fishing shorts, consider features such as quick-drying materials, water resistance, and built-in UV protection. Look for shorts with multiple pockets for storing fishing gear and tools, as well as adjustable waistbands for comfort. Breathability and lightweight fabric are also important for staying cool during long days on the water.

Yes, fly fishing shorts are versatile and can be used for various outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, or beach outings. Their quick-drying and lightweight materials make them ideal for any water-related activities. Additionally, the pockets and comfort features enhance their functionality for different adventures.

Fly fishing shorts are typically made from synthetic materials such as nylon or polyester, which offer durability and quick-drying properties. Some may also include spandex for added stretch and comfort. These materials help to wick moisture away and provide protection against the elements while fishing.

To choose the right size for fly fishing shorts, it's important to refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer. Measure your waist and hips, and consider the fit you prefer—whether a relaxed or more fitted style. Additionally, check for any adjustable features that can help customize the fit for comfort during activities.

While fly fishing shorts are designed for warmer weather, they can be worn in cooler conditions when layered appropriately. Pairing them with thermal leggings or tights can provide additional warmth without sacrificing mobility. Additionally, consider wearing a light jacket or long-sleeve shirt to stay comfortable during cooler fishing trips.
