Reviews Summary
Customers say these swim shorts are incredibly comfortable, lightweight, and dry quickly after water activities. They appreciate the soft material, flattering fit, and versatile styling that works for swimming, beach days, and casual wear. Many mention the convenient pockets and drawstring waist. Common feedback includes that the shorts run large, with several customers recommending sizing down. While most praise the modest length and comfortable fit, some note issues with the waistband design and mention the shorts work better as cover-ups than standalone swimwear since they're unlined.

    Lightweight and comfortable

    Feels like I’m not wearing anything. I can see me wearing these more than just with my swim suits. Will be purchasing other colors. Would love to see them made with a liner.

    Best waste

    I have four pairs of these shorts. The crinkle waste is so comfortable and hides some tummy bulge I’d rather the world not see (no muffin top in these shorts). I wear them padding, around town, and on boats. For future models, I wish Carve would add a zipper pocket. These have a snap pocket but I am less confident putting my car key here while paddling/ jumping in/ out of ocean than I feel with other shorts that have a zipper.

    Water shorts

    I have several of these shorts and use them often during the summer. I wear them over swim bottoms in the pool. They dry quickly and are comfortable

    Great shorts

    I have several of these shorts. I love the colors and pattern on this pair. I use them in and out of the water
