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.

These shorts are very comfy and have a nice stretch to them. They come in four different colors which is great! I especially like the zippered back pocket for your wallet or whatever else you’re carrying and don’t want to lose. I do wish the inseam was a bit bigger because these are shorter than I usually wear.

Just got these and I'm ready for golfing weather. The fit is awesome with a stretch waist band and string tie. Super comfortable. And I love the zip up pockets. These will keep my phone and wallet secure while I'm hitting or looking for a ball in the woods!

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.

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.

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.

I only gave it four stars because no opening for men . it’d be five stars if it had an Opening for men. Really soft and comfortable it’s as nice as my Nike shorts. It’s nice that they do not have the netting inside. Great all around shorts for swimming or casual wear.

Good quality shorts. They are medium weight, look and feel nicer than a regular pair of gym shorts. These do run small, about a whole size, so definitely size up. Fall just above the knee. Would be good on the beach, material would help keep you cool.

I never thought a pair of shorts would be this good. This checks all the boxes! First of all the shorts material is very nice and it is very comfortable to wear. This has become my favorite goto Shorts so much that I hate it when I have wash it and wear something else! This means I can't wait for this to be available for purchase so I can get one or two pairs. Who would have thought that a shorts can have "features"? But this one does and it checks all the boxes! It has pockets on the back with chain so that you can secure your mobile if you so wish. What more can one say - you need to try it out!
