Ok Shorts for Hot Climates
927687
This is a nice hybrid short for hot climates to wear out and you are ready to jump in the water. I live in florida, and wear lightweight shorts like these everyday. They help keep you cool but they aren't the most comfortable or soft shorts out there. I don't use them in the pool, but they can certainly be used for board shorts as well. The button is an acutal button and not a snap.

I am 6'1", 185 lbs and a 33" fit as expected.

These are a decent looking pair of comfortable, informal trousers that will easily tread where shorts fear to go.  The fabric is very light linen (so light that one can see the pocket lining through the material) so you'll still be cool in the hottest weather.  Pair with some boat shoes and a smart polo or T-shirt and you're ready to go.  Some might find the button fly a bit of an inconvenience.

If you like a more fitted pair of shorts these aren't bad, lots of pockets and for what they are look a bit dressier. Could move a little a better though, I think going up 1 size would help.

I'm sure that someone will enjoy these compression shorts, but I didn't like the fit or the feel of the fabric and they would be too hot to workout in in the summer.  They were not what I expected them to be.

I don't usually wear shorts -- mostly light colored lightweight pants ---- but I am going on vacation where it's really hot -- and these shorts cover my boney knees ---- so I won't look like a total snowbird from the north

The fabric is a little think, but that works well for my hot and humid climate.

Good fit for the shorts and they dry quickly.

Great light weight shorts that are not too dumpy but also not too tight. They also breathe, so not a sweatfest.

As an outdoor photo enthusiast that's sun sensitive- I have found these shirts do well for days (in So Cal) that are mild to warm weather, but I switch to others for really warm days.  They are comfortable, fit well, look nice, shed wrinkles, but aren't the most breatheable ones I own. The pockets could be bigger as well, are barely large enough for a pro-camera battery.

The shorts meet my needs.  They fit well and have a seat pocket.  The material isn't the most comfortable, but overall they shorts fit well.  I would but these again.

Nice shorts although the waist cut is weird. The shorts are too low in the back waist part but covers up ok with a long top. Comfy. They do not ride up the thighs.

Nice outdoor shorts - was looking for something that would have power wicking on hot summer days but didn't really need running shorts or want the look of something shorter. Just wish they came in all black for people who want to wear them for casual wear.

Nice, cool short for warmer climates.  It has become my go to short.

These fit very small so order up a size or two (for the plus size). Once I received the right size they were a bit long but I kept them anyway. I wore them (as shorts) on a week long hiking trek in Vietnam where it was extremely hot and humid and they were great. Dried fairly quickly....thinking about getting another pair in a different color.

These fit well on my waist @ 31 inches; I ordered a size "Medium". Where they fail is on the elastic around the rear end. Simply not enough pull on thees and they sort of hang. I have trunks and boxer briefs from DA in size Medium and this is not a problem on either of those styles; they're appropriately snug in the leg openings.  Something went a bit wrong on these and I will be sticking with trunks & boxer briefs from DA from now on. Material is thin and good for hot summers in Texas [ just like on the other styles ] but they hang off your butt a bit. If I had ordered size "Small" they would be too tight on the waist. Live & Learn I guess.

They are great workout shorts for when it's hot inside you home or outside when you're walking or running, I got the large and it's a little small, although they are still comfortable to wear.

Nice fit however not very  breathable defiantly not a shirt you'd wear in humid weather
