    Perfect Summer Shorts for Everyday Wear
    Size: Large, Color: Dark Grey
    These turned out to be one of those purchases that will become part of the regular summer rotation. The fit is excellent, the fabric feels lightweight without feeling cheap, and they’re extremely comfortable in warm weather. What I like most is that they strike a really nice balance between casual and polished. They don’t look like gym shorts, but they’re just as comfortable. The dark grey color looks clean and versatile, and the 7-inch length feels modern without being overly short. The fabric has a smooth, cool feel and dries quickly, which is great for hot days or even light water exposure. The elastic waistband and drawstring are comfortable without looking sloppy, and the hidden zipper pocket is actually very useful for keys or cards. Another thing I noticed is their durability that they hold their shape well and the material doesn’t wrinkle easily. They work equally well for relaxing, walking around town, travel, or casual dinners outside during summer. Overall, these feel more expensive than they are. Comfortable, lightweight material, practical, and surprisingly stylish.

    Fast drying polyester short for casual wear or to use at the beach
    Size: Small, Color: Army Green, Size: Small, Color: Army Green
    The TACVASEN men's 7" casual beach shorts are lightweight stretchy polyester shorts featuring an elastic waist band for added comfort. These shorts are nicely constructed and durable with no visible signs of defects out of the package. These shorts wear and feel comfortable for all types of activities or for just casual wear if you just want to lounge around. There are two average sized pockets one on each side and one zippered side pocket for added security and a rear pocket suitable for a normal sized wallet. I'm a 5'10" man and these shorts reach to the top of my knee. These shorts also have an average sized drawstring for added tightness if desired. The polyester material allows for fast drying. Overall these shorts offer a good value for wearing to most occasions.

    Great casual shorts
    Size: Small, Color: Blue Gray
    These men’s water-resistant beach shorts have been a great purchase. I got them for my son, and he says they’re extremely comfortable. He especially loves how soft the material feels, which makes them easy to wear all day at the beach, pool, or just casually around town. The water-resistant fabric works well and dries quickly, which is a huge plus for swimwear. They fit nicely and allow for plenty of movement without feeling stiff or heavy. Overall, these are comfortable, well-made shorts with great material, and my son has been really happy with them.

    Nice shorts but no fly
    Size: Medium, Color: Blue Gray, Size: Medium, Color: Blue Gray
    These shorts are well made with three pockets on the sides, 2 standard and one zippered, along with one pocket on the back. They are made of a polyester fabric and do feel as though they will be waterproof. They are well constructed and should hold up well. My issue with these shorts is that they have no fly, just fake stiching on the front. Yes, they say they are for the beach, but that is no reason not to have a fly. Swim trunks are one thing, no one expects a fly on them, but on shorts, yes I do. I always like to include a picture of the laundry instructions,, I hate getting something and discovering it takes special care.
