It is nice to have a longer board short for those of us who prefer their legs be covered. It is a high grade fabric that dries very quickly. I love the shorts, and several of my friends are asking for the site where I purchased them.

I haven't used the shorts in the water yet (I live in MN) but I like the way they fit, i.e. length.  My once beautiful legs aren't so beautiful anymore so these longer shorts are great!  We need more options for this type of swimwear.  I also appreciate the "midrise" waistline as apposed to the typical way-too-low boardshort.  You might consider designing matching tankini's and adding a bikini-bottom inside the shorts similar to men's swim trunks.  Thank you.

Long shorts to knee.  Waist is big and cannot be cinched up as I have smaller waist compared to hips.   Comfortable.  Good closure and tie.

I love the shorts. They are just above the knee which works best for me. I use the shorts to swim along with my daughter during her swimming lessons. The shorts sit slightly below the waist. I felt very comfortable wearing and swimming with the shorts, providing the perfect coverage for my rather big tights. If you are looking for coverage, you got it with these shorts. I did not specifically like the pocket since I don't see any use of it but it did not bother me either.
