I bought these shorts as a possible swim bottom when snorkeling; however, I ended up just wearing them as regular shorts. They are stylish looking and a nice length about 2 -3 inches above the knee.
I would have preferred a zipper to the lace closure, but got used to it.
I originally ordered the large based on their size chart, but it was too big on me, so then I ordered the medium which seemed a bit snug, but they gave a bit afterwearing them.
