    Just ok

    I have two pairs of OV shorts from several years ago that I wear constantly. The fabric in this new pair was not particularly comfortable. I was really looking forward to getting them and ordering more, however, they felt rather thick with no movement and almost like plastic was part of the material. They were true to size. Disappointing.

    Rec Trec 4” Short.

    Great for walking and hiking. My second pair.

    The zippered pockets are well placed and sturdy. They hold personal items without sagging.

    They are sized a little larger so I recommend sizing down if you are in between .

    New favorite shorts

    Great length, super stretchy material. Drawstring at the waist. I have a 31 in waist, 41 in hips with thick thighs. I got a size L & they fit extremely well. I am super excited to wear these hiking!!

    Meh

    I really wanted to love these shorts. I’m obsessed with this “wild olive” green color and the zippered pockets rock, however the waistband was scratchy (no soft lining, just rough, bunched up, rip-stop nylon) and the fit was not particularly flattering. They look kinda frumpy and they’re not very comfy so I’m returning them :/ For the record I’m 5’ 8” and weigh around 125lbs, I ordered a M, and they fit fine, slightly snug around the waist, but again not super cute or comfortable.
