These are nice lightweight shorts. Can be used for hiking or any activity where you don't need heavy cloth shorts. Personally I'd use these if going to a theme park where you might get wet on a water ride or something like fishing. Nice pockets. Loose fit for me at a medium size and would probably get a small size.

These shorts have an almost swimsuit feel to them. I just recently purchased them for an upcoming cruise. It's still cold where I am so I haven't had a great chance to try them out. I have worn them around the house. Pros: high quality material, zipper pockets for swimming, will dry quickly, better looking than gym shorts Cons: would like them a little longer, no zipper up front for the bathroom.

First thing I noticed about these board shorts was how they are sized. I wear a 36 in pants and I honestly could’ve sized down. But for what it’s worth, it has a drawstring and with that it fits fine. Nothing to complain about. Pockets are generously sized. It has a secret pocket. I really do like them!

These Quiksilver Crossfire shorts are awesome—I’m actually wearing them right now as I write this review! They’re incredibly lightweight and super comfortable, with a soft, stretchy fabric that moves with you whether you’re chilling at home, running errands, or hitting the beach. The hybrid design feels great for all-day wear without any heaviness or restriction. Quick-drying and versatile too. Love these! highly recommend!

I just got my Crossfire Submersible Shorts, and while the current weather is far too cold to actually get them out in the wild, I couldn't resist a "living room trial run." The first thing I noticed is the incredible quality. You can tell these aren't your average shorts; the fabric feels durable yet remarkably lightweight. When I tried them on, the comfort was immediate. They have the perfect amount of stretch, which I know is going to be a game-changer whether I’m hiking, hitting the water, or just grabbing lunch. The "submersible" aspect is genius—they look like a high-end hybrid short but feel like they’ll perform perfectly in the water. It’s honestly a bit of a tease having them sit in my drawer while it’s freezing outside, but I am hyped to put them to the test as soon as the sun decides to show up. If you're looking for a versatile, well-made short, these are a "buy now, thank yourself later" kind of item.

This is a very nice quality shorts. Looking forward to wear this for the summer. The camouflage color looks and feels very stylish, and the shorts are comfy and can wear on the beach or for swimming. Fabric feels high quality and would recommend this shorts

These navy elastic waist shorts are stylish, flexible and super comfortable!. At 5’ 8”, these are a perfect length falling right above the knee. Visually, they look like there is a tiny horizontal ribbed design, yet material is completely smooth. They are made from a thin quick dry lightweight material that has an ultraviolet protection factor of 40. The left rear pocket is 4“ wide deep while the right rear full size pocket is also zippered and contains a gear loop that enables you to attach something to it like a set of keys. Front pockets are very deep. Great multipurpose short, good for casual or athletic wear that can double as a bathing suit!

These Billabong shorts are very comfortable. The fabric is smooth with some stretch. The waste band is elastic with a draw string to tighten. There are no belt loops. There are 4 pockets - the front side pockets and back pocket are mesh. The fourth pocket is a smaller hip pocket that is made of the same fabric as the rest of the shorts. They are quick drying, making them a perfect for hot days.

Nice and comfy shorts. There are standard pockets and an added zippered pocket on the left side. I like having these for the gym so I can keep my keys without loosing them. The color is really nice and the patern feels nice. The shorts fot true to size.

I’m ready for some warm weather so I can wear the Billabong Crossfire Submersible shorts. They hit the sweet spot between performance and everyday wear. The 4-way stretch fabric dries quickly and breathes well, so they work just as well for a swim or a hike as they do for running errands. The fit is true to size with a relaxed, straight cut that doesn’t feel restrictive, and the chino-style pockets (including a zip back pocket) are actually useful without being bulky. The pockets are mesh for use in wet conditions. Nothing flashy, but solid build quality and versatility make these an easy go-to short for summer. They look fine with a tee or a polo and handle water days without feeling like dedicated board shorts.
