Riser Short

Great short! Definitely recommend sizing up as true size can be a little tight in the waist.

Not true to size

I wear a 40 waist and neither of these shorts are even close to being comfy. Material looks great, but since the return process is not great i give it one star for being sized wrong.

Love these shorts

Bought one pair - after wearing/using, picked up three more in different colors. Very comfortable for work (not field work) or play/exercise. Only thing that I would add is a liner so that you can skip the undies.

Well made with good fit

Shorts are well made, on target for exercise or casual use. Pockets are helpful but not in the way. Drawstring keeps them in place, and the camo is subtle. The material dries quickly.

I wear a size 40 and bought these in an extra large. They are to small. Wish they made them in a 2XL. You offer other styles up to 3XL. I have a pair of 40 riptide pants and they fit great.

Riser shorts

These shorts run a little bit small. I wear 32 waist for everything and typically have room, but these shorts are a big snug in the waist. If I get another pair I will try the large. The shorts themselves are great! The zip pockets are great for holding keys on morning runs without worrying about them falling out.

Shorts, run small

I bought them for my husband, he wears a size small in all pants and shorts (he’s 130 pounds), and these were super snug on him, size up. He loved the material though.
