Customers say these board shorts are comfortable, lightweight, and quick-drying with good stretch. Many appreciate the length, finding it perfect for coverage without being too long or short. The fabric is praised for its quality and packability. However, sizing feedback is mixed - some find them true to size while others recommend sizing up, particularly noting they can run small in the waist or large in the legs. Several mention the shorts work well for various activities like swimming, paddle boarding, and mountain biking. Some prefer the original cut over the updated version.
