The O'Neill Hybrid Walkshorts I received are hardly the traditional boardshort style worn by surfers.  Although the website states that there is a waist drawstring, the pair I have has none.  What I have is a straight-leg short with pockets front and back (the back pockets are not the patch pockets shown on the website), plus two front cargo pockets with pleat detailing that have Velcro-type closures.  The material is 100% polyester that has a soft, slightly sueded feel.  The hems and seams are all double or triple stitched.  The size 36 waistband measures 37" and dips in a slight curve front and back.

I laundered the shorts and hung them to dry indoors.  They came out of the washer with no wrinkles and were totally dry in about 8 hours.  They are perfect for travel for people like us who take only one suitcase, even for long trips.  If an article of clothing doesn't dry overnight, it has to stay home.  These shorts will definitely make the cut.
