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.

These are trendy shorts that just feel super comfortable. They fit just like a glove. I'd say they are true to size. Whether you're walking or sitting you'll have no issues. They come with good sized pockets. You can get them wet too. They dry off super fast. If you plan on jumping in the pool don't forget to take you're items out of the pockets.

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.

Very comfortable lightweight shorts made with quick drying material. They run slightly large in the waist but have a drawstring to take up the slack. Length is good, just above the knee. 4 pockets total - two front pockets are mesh while 1 back pocket is mesh and the other is made with a heavier material. Both back pockets have a zipper.

These shorts feel comfortable and easy to put on. They have a draw string and front pockets. The right rear has a zippered pocket. Comfortable shorts for outside gardening or taking a dip into any water source. I would have preferred a longer seams or legs since I prefer my shorts to cover my knees partially.

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!

The Billabong Crossfire Pull On Short is a lightweight breathable short that fits well and is comfortable. The shorts have two front, a zippered rear, and a smaller zippered side pocket. In addition, they are manufactured with a UPF 40+ rating for those sunny days. For those environmentally conscious folks, they are made with a majority of recycled plastic.

They look and feel like a normal, stylish pair of shorts, they are stretchy. The quick-drying fabric means you can hop in the water and they'll be dry in no time, which is perfect for beach days or travel. With the practical pockets, including a secure zippered back pocket which is great for keeping keys or a wallet safe while active. The combination of high-quality materials, comfort, and practical. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a versatile, comfortable, and durable pair of shorts.

The Crossfire Submersible Short has completely exceeded my expectations and has quickly become one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe. From the moment I put them on, the quality was obvious. The fabric feels durable yet lightweight, striking the perfect balance between comfort and performance. What really sets these shorts apart is how well they transition between activities. I’ve worn them in the water, on casual outings, and even for light workouts, and they perform flawlessly in every situation. The quick-drying, submersible material is a standout feature. After swimming, the shorts dry fast and never feel heavy or uncomfortable, which makes them ideal for beach days, boating, or travel. The fit is modern and flattering without being too tight, offering excellent mobility and all-day comfort. The waistband sits comfortably without digging in, and the length is just right—not too long and not too short. I also appreciate the thoughtful design details, including secure pockets that are both functional and discreet. The stitching and construction feel premium, and after multiple wears and washes, the shorts still look brand new with no fading or loss of shape. Overall, the Crossfire Submersible Short delivers on style, durability, and functionality. If you’re looking for a high-quality short that can handle water, movement, and everyday wear without compromise, this is an easy five-star choice. Highly recommended.

These are great! I wear shorts every day throughout the year. This is a pair I would go to regularly. As a medium they fit just right... the leg is just above the knee. The pockets are great for a swim type short. One pocket I can only fit 3 fingers in and I'm not sure what I would use it for but the other three are great regular size. I use these for work cleaning pools or for Sunday brunch. The color is not exactly as dark as you would think. It's more of a light Gray than a solid black towards the green Gray shade. There is a slight texture to them, looks nice. I would order a pair in each color.
