"Get two!" 03/06/13

Love these shorts, so much I got another pair! Hold up to abuse and nice enough to wear into town. Zippered pocket comes in handy.

"Don't take them off!" 12/27/12

Great for hiking, did the Kalalau trail in these with no problems. Wore these for everything for three weeks in Kauai. From sneaking into the resorts to sleeping in a cave, these will not fail you. The pocket is big enough to load in a cell phone and a wallet with some room to spare. These dry in about 8 minutes. Highly recommend for dirty hippies.

"Soft enough not to chafe where it matters most" 06/30/12

I spend hours and hours in and out of the water in these and there is no need to dress in 'layers'. These work great as casual wear on and off the beach.

"Great boardshorts-Patagonia quality!" 05/25/12

I have three pairs of these board shorts and they are really sweet. The fit is very comfortable, they dry really fast, the pocket is very handy, and there are many fabric choices which change every year. These shorts have been more durable than many other brands like quicksilver and they dont fade.

"So Cool!" 03/21/12

My son loves these, they are very roomy and unlined - no mesh "panty :)" so he wears boxers underneath which seems uncomfortable to me, but what do I know? The important thing is he likes them!

"I'd Like to Buy a Vowel...." 02/27/12

These board shorts are possibly the best that I have ever had the privilege of owning. I got these shorts in the Buy A Vowel Ultramarine. They have a zip pocket on the right side that is fairly large that I use to keep my phone and wallet in. There is also a key loop in the pocket for leashing your lock pickers. There is a single button tie closure which I prefer over other closures. The length is good and hangs to the middle of my knee caps. There 100% nylon and they feel like they would dry out pretty fast on a sunny day. The people up here in Fairbanks Alaska had really weird looks on their faces when I strolled by in these bad boys. Overall a great pair for anywhere highly recommended.

"These are comfortable and look good. I like the bright color and they dry quickly after a swim." 01/17/12

These are comfortable and look good. I like the bright color and they dry quickly after a swim. Like all Patagonia products and these haven't disappointed thus far.

"Up to the task" 01/14/12

A really good pair of board short: tough and comfortable. I wear these to the beach a lot and have put them through their paces wearing for 60 days in Baja while sailing and sea kayaking. Comfortable to wear around town as well and they have great styles every year. My only complaint from wearing these in the water and to is after they're wet they start loosening and riding up more then I'd like but maybe I should just go a little smaller on the sizing. Also I eventually ripped out the fly buttons thinking I could get them on and off without undoing them so watch out, but sewing another one has worked just fine.
