Very good swim shorts
Size: X-Large/6" Inseam
Color: Beet
These are great swim shorts and can wear other wise also and always have been, they fit small for size, but that is ok as they have good stretch and have a draw string also. I have worn them now for all of 8 years and add to them 1 here and now.

Nice shorts
Size: XX-Large/6" Inseam
Color: Beet
These are a well made, light bathing suit with belt loops which are a necessity for me. I just wish they had cargo pockets.

Best shorts out there
Size: Medium/6" Inseam
Color: White Cap
Love the PFG shorts! I have at least a dozen pair. They last for years and hold color well. When you are outside in hot humid, weather fishing or playing sports. They take a very long time to soak thru when wet. You don’t have wet looking clothes on. Zip back pickets are we lined and the zippers last. Draw strings are durable and long enough. I love that there are different lengths available. For as long as they last, still looking great, they are a value buy. Front pockets are deep, and the little fishing knife pocket behind the right front pocket is perfect.

Men's Shorts For On The Go Men
Size: Medium/6" Inseam
Color: Carbon
If you are like me, you wear shorts in NC all year long regardless of the temperatures. My older son gave me a pair to improve my "shorts" collection a year ago. I have to say he made a great choice, and I continued buying these shorts to a factor of (4) pairs so I can change them up with my workout shorts. The fit is awesome, they are waterproof so getting soaked by my grandkids is not an issue, and when I put them back in the drawer, I can simply roll them up. They do not wrinkle which increases the utility of these shorts not to mention the wearability on long backpacking trips. If you buy one pair, go ahead and purchase two or three, because the selection in colors is quite incredible and the pricing is very respectable as well.

No belt loops despite picture shows them.
Size: XX-Large/6" Inseam
Color: Collegiate Navy
The water short in navy is gorgeous, but I specifically purchased water shorts with belt loops and I received shorts without the loops. The pictures show belt loops, but they’re not there.
