Well worth it!

These are a great option when you don’t feel like wearing a tennis skirt. Some days you just want to change things up & these will be worth it! Comfy & practical. And they have the pockets in the shorties for your keys and phone if you need it! I have every color.

Very comfortable

On a windy day a skirt can be a problem, but these shorts were perfect. They look more skirt/skort like than shorts and are so comfortable. I don’t want to look like everybody else and these were perfect for keeping my look unique. They also stayed dry in our SW Florida heat and humidity after almost 3 hours of playing pickleball.
