After reading some of the reviews, I didn't know what to think.  When I tried on the boardshorts, I was pleasantly surprised.  The boardshorts are slightly relaxed, but not baggy.  I thought I wouldn't have the patience for lace up "zipper area" however, it's convenient and easy to navigate.  These shorts are not baggy, but comfortably loose.  The only reason I gave these shorts four starts was that they are much shorter than pictured;  the picture shows to the knee, but these shorts are a few inches above the knee.  I'm 5'2" and have short legs and these shorts hit me just below mid-thigh.  I would recommend these boardshorts to a friend.

These ran small for me so measure your waist and hips and don't go by the listed size.  I ordered the next size up and they still don't fit me.  Other than fit they are as advertised.

I love these. The size I picked the first time was right and they are plenty long on me! I'm tall and they come down to the top of my knee. I really like how light and breathable the fabric is. It has a soft feel too. Good compromise between sun protection and stay-cool for me.

IT'S NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR TO BE. THEY RUN SMALL AND ARE WAY SHORTER THAN THE PICTURE

great to find board shorts with female cut.  i use the product on the beach when i play frisbee to cover my over the hill thighs.  i like the fact that they ride low  (unlike men's version i have been using).

Picture not representative of item.  The picture has the length to the knee, but in actuality was only to the mid-thigh.  Also,  they run quite small.
