[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually like to start with the positives, but the length of the short is just too short for my taste. The 6" inseam nearly shows my boxers underneath. These are supposed to be a hybrid, do-anything short and while I do prefer my performance shorts to be a little shorter (7") than my lifestyle shorts (8-9"), these are shorter than short. I also don't love the style of waist closure. They feel to much like dress pants, with the hidden button and strap latch (sorry, not sure what to call it). I would prefer just a simple button here. Now let's get to the pros. I really enjoyed the fabric. It has a good amount of stretch and water just wicks away, almost instantaneously. As a father of young kids, these pass the spill test. The weight/thickness of the fabric is great as well. It's thick and sturdy, making sure that it won't wrinkle easily, but very lightweight and easy to move in. I also really loved the pocket setup. Two rear zip pockets are great, with a small flap that covers the zipper to give the shorts a cleaner look. I also really liked the hidden coin/key pocket inside of one of the front pockets. It's these small details that make me come back to a garment over and over. Overall, I would recommend these shorts if they had a slightly longer inseam, but the length just doesn't do it for me.
