Girls4Sport Snag-Free Short Solid Boardshort Reviews

Size: Feels too small

I have wide hips and a butt.  Although the size charts claimed a XX would fit, I couldn''t pull them above my hips.  I was really looking forward to the draw tie waist as it is smaller for me.  Quality product just too slim to fit me.  (I found the Maxine Boardshorts in an 18W were more forgiving and fit well.)

Size: Feels true to size

I am 5''4" and weigh 145lbs.  I bought size medium and they fit fine.  They were a good length for cover-up shorts worn over a bikini bottom.  I swam, paddle-boarded, and walked in these.  The only problem is(and this is probably because my legs are huge) when the shorts got wet and I walked around in them they gave me an inner thigh rash.  Having said that, so have other board shorts of this length.

I purchased these shorter trunks to replace a previous pair that were longer.  I followed the size charts, they fit as expected! I'm 5'7", 180lbs; wear size 14.  The XXL were perfect!

Size: Feels too big

purchased with the pictured top - but shorts are a completely different material; medium runs enormous. lacing is much heavier and more complicated that such a small short requires, giving it a lopsided look.

I have been wearing board shorts my entire life, and as I have gotten older and (a little) wider (even though I am still fit!) they have been harder and harder to find a pair that fits and looks great. I just ordered three of the snag free shorts and I am in love! Even more importantly, and what inspired me to write, was the made in the USA label!  I was so excited and pleased to see that. I will buy these from now on, not only for the fit and the quality but most importantly since they are made here!
Thanks Again!

Size: Feels too small

These are very cute shorts but they fit smaller than they said. So I would maybe order a size bigger.

Size: Feels too small

I bought this as a cover up for the pool/beach. I love that it has no velcro closure to potentially rip up your swim wear, but:

The material has little to no give and the sizing feels really small. I usually fit XL without a problem, but had a feeling about these shorts, so I ordered them in XXL. They fit, but they are a bit snugger than I would like them to be. I intend to lose some more baby pounds and will shrink into it, but still, a size bigger should have given me that baggy style the picture indicated. So beware and order up a size or two. Or maybe this one is just not for us girls with a lot of curve on the chassis?

Totally love these shorts!  Just came back from vacation got lots of compliments on how cool they look.  Gained some weight over the winter and the adjustible ties are so great, I can tighten as I shed the extra pounds or as I gain a few loosen them, lets face it girls we have all been there.  They fit great over my swimsuit so running around with the my 3 children I don't have to worry about wedgies as I bend over or my bikini line looking perfect.

These boardshorts fit fine in the waist, hips and seat, but had too much fabric in the front crotch area - it was really noticeable and looked horrible.  The legs seemed to be flared, too, which is ok for jeans, but not for boardshorts.  Bummer.
