As a HESITANT buyer, I can assure you that these swim shorts are perfect for any water sports and outdoors activities.The material is lightweight, comfortable and dries quickly. They provide a secure fit without feeling constricting. As a result of my tests, I determined that the shorts did not lose shape or color after many uses and washings. However, the sizing could be tricky for some people, so be sure to reference the size chart before purchasing. Overall, a great choice for active women!See full review
