        Favorite shorts
        These are my favorite pair of shorts. They don’t wrinkle easily, fit well and have held their color after many washes.

        Order darker colors for more coverage
        These shorts were very lightweight and fit well. I wanted to keep them but I could see my underwear through them! I loved the light green color, but returned them. I did order the same shorts in royal blue and kept them, since the coverage was better. .

        Versatile shorts for land or water
        Love these versatile shorts, can be worn in and out of water and looks great either way. I wore a bikini bottom underneath shorts while white water rafting since there isn’t a liner, and also wore as shorts while hiking. Very comfortable and fits true to size, the length is perfect for especially for my heavier/muscular thighs. Highly recommend, and I  need to purchase in another color for upcoming vacation.

        Cool, loose shorts. Good sun protection
        These shorts are very comfortable. They feel cool and a little loose, but that adds to the coolness of them. The length is good. I liked them enough I purchased a second color. I can't always count on LLBean's sizes to be consistent. I purchased these in a size four.
