Go to shorts

I got two pairs of shorts. The black ones and the blue ones. I love these shorts. Super comfortable. My go-tos. The only thing is the black ones came with the logo upside down but they refunded the money.

Exactly what I wanted!

Full coverage but short and breezy. I bought in black while they were on sale and I wish I could buy more!

Please keep making these shorts!

I JUST found and fell in love with this style and fit! The new updated version doesn’t even compare! PLEASE keep making these. I immediately ordered 5 extra pairs after my first purchase. They are the best shorts I’ve ever worn in my 36 years of life.
