When something nails both style and fit that cleanly, the next step is inevitable: you don’t want alternatives—you want options. More colours just means more days you never have to think twice about what to wear, just grab and go.

I like them just not too crazy of how they feel. .

Love the color. Not crazy on the material. I still will rock them.

We're glad the Beach to Trail Lined Short 5" is still making the cut. We hear your thoughts on the material and we're taking note. For an alternate option, the Swim Short 5" Lined may be worth exploring.

Pretty good.

I wasn’t a fan of the liner. Not very comfortable. Rides up. Could be a little better.

We hear that the liner in the Beach to Trail Lined Short 5" wasn't as comfortable as expected and rode up during wear, taking away from the easygoing feel you were after. For a liner-free experience, the Swim Short 7" Linerless offers unrestricted comfort with a relaxed fit designed to move easily from water activities to everyday adventures.

Good start, but needs refining.

I love the material and the brief liner. I wish this was made in a cut similar to the Pool Short, which is discontinued for some reason. The material would benefit from a slit/cut on the outer seam of each leg. The “oversized” styling would benefit from a slightly shorter inseam too, maybe 4.5in, since the fabric feels like it stretches out slightly when wet. The waistband needs redesign. When tying the strings tighter (bc it stretches when wet) the band folds over.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Beach to Trail Lined Short 5". We’re glad you’re loving the material and liner, and your notes on the cut, inseam, and waistband give us helpful insight into how this style could better support movement and comfort.

Not stretchy, could benefit from zipper pockets

Not stretchy, which is something I would expect for beach to trail use. For example, high steps would not be good in these. Also, all the pockets should have zippers to have zipped large pockets

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We hear that the Beach to Trail Lined Short 5" didn't provide the stretch and freedom of movement you were expecting for active adventures. We also appreciate your suggestion for zippered pockets to help keep essentials secure on the go. We've noted your feedback and shared it with the appropriate team.
