Great shorts but room for improvement
These are great shorts with a couple of things I’d like to see improved. First, the liner is just much too long. I knew this when I bought them but the liner being longer than the shorts is just goofy to me. I’ll be cutting off an inch or two from them to prevent them from being visible. Second, the waistband is ever so slightly snug. I’m a waist 33 and the large shorts are just a little tighter than I’d like. Not so much that I think I’d need an XL, but enough that it’s a little annoying. Otherwise they are awesome. I love the material, it’s stretchy and good for activity without feeling cheap and it’s also comfortable. The hand pockets are deep, which I love, and the rear zipper pocket is great too, although I also wish it was just a touch larger. Fix the liner and waistband “issues” and these would probably be 10/10 best shorts I own.
