the best
These are simply the best board shorts I have owned. I have a few pairs and pretty much spent all summer in these things. Very light and comfortable and dry very quickly. A+
favorite pair of boardshorts
awesome fit, really well made, dry super fast, very comfortable, very stylish. my favorite pair of board shorts ever.
Great Shorts
I work at a canoe livery, so I need something rugged and reliable to pull on in the morning. These are great shorts to wear day after day, and they look and feel great even without washing! I also love the handy pocket placement and the built in pocket drain: a very nice feature if you're in and out of the water constantly! These shorts will be a great addition to your outdoor wardrobe.

Great Shorts
The best pair of board shorts that I have ever owned! Great fit, dries fast, and look great. Buy some now!!!!
Excellent boardshort
Theses boardshorts have surpassed my expectations. They are comfortable, dry quickly and well constructed. Pocket location on the side is ideal....
Perfect size
Wish more people carried odd sizing. Perfect fit, dry quick, just what I was looking for.
Great Shorts
I wore these shorts for nearly a week straight while camping on the Outer Banks. They rocked, dried quick with sufficient pockets for the "essentials"
Great Shorts
Very well made and comfortable. I had to buy a slightly larger size so that they would sit lower on my hips. The price was definitely right.
Another quality Patagonia product
Sizing runs small, but since I knew that I ordered a size larger and they fit perfectly. I have worn a Patagonia boardshort for the last 5 years and they have held up to any activity which demands quick drying, strong and secure fitting shorts. I dont think you can find a better short, especially at this price. These bad boys arrived at my place within 3 days of ordering too. Thanks Altrec.com!
Smooth
Shorts are cool and dry quickly. The plaid gives them a scottish flair.
Incredible shorts
These shorts are great, extremely quick drying,comfortable, and fit well. I would definately recommend picking up a pair.

Very lightweight and confy!!
Not only great looking, but also lightweight and incredibly comfortable!!!
Great for any summer watersport, or just for walking and hanging around at the beach.
A must for the summer!!!!!
great shorts
Like the zipper instead of velcro nice touch.
Great
A real pleasure to do business with. Will definetly do business with again. Shorts are perfect. Thanks.

great shorts - perfect for comfort and style
The shorts are great; I received them in a very short time; I am very pleased with the whole process.
The only drawback is that I can't wear them everyday to the beach! (I do have to work!)
Great shorts
Great shorts. Don't know what else to say - love the fit, very comfortable, really appreciate the zippered pocket, super fast drying, very well built. I'm 5'11" and 170 and the 32s are a great fit (usually I like to wear 34s because I like my shorts a little loose but since I'm going to be active in these I need a tighter fit). The only change that I would suggest to the folks at Patagonia would be to redesign the tying feature. It works well for me but if I was a little thinner I wouldn't be able to get my shorts tight enough to be able to withstand a big wave and not lose them.
Wavefarer shorts Rock
These shorts are excellent for multiple pursuits. Great for lounging at the pool. Swimming at the beach, paddling or surfing if that's your gig. I dig the long length and how they hang on my hips. The side pocket is excellent for storing essentials as well. Material is durable as most Patagonia clothing is. Enjoy!
Another great Patagonia product
I bought these for my husband and he loves them!
Fit is awesome!
The meshed lined waistband is super plush and fits right on the hips nice and secure, even after dunking a 5 wave set. Zippers are killer for ez acess and doesn't stick to everything or blow out like velcro does, the zip fly is much nicer to lay on too. Key clip works great and there's the option of using the elastic cord for those large plasitc top keys as well. Drawstring occasionally comes undone, but I just double tie it and it's fine. It's cool to finally have a pair of shorts that gets the job done without all the flashy visual bells and whilstles. I'm very pleased and I can't wait to get a few more!
Just what I was looking for!
I was looking for a board shorts that I could both swim in and wear casually for quite a while and finally came across just the right pair. I'm happy with the style and would recommend going a size above for optimum fit. I'm looking forward to wearing them both in and out of the water on my upcoming trip to the tropics!
not what expected
The shorts were much more colorful and baggy than expected. Had to return.
