I am usually pretty tolerant of sizing issues or the color being off or things like that, but these shorts were my most disappointing purchase in recent memory.

Not only is the color off, its not even remotely similar and it has a weird pattern that the ad photos don't show.  The logo isn't even similar either, the one on my shorts looks like one of those iron on decals with a shiny gloss to it.

But the main reason I had them back in the bag and returned within 5 minutes after I got them is the enormous open fly, with no buttons, velco, zippers or anything to keep it closed. I am baffled why none of the positive compliments for these shorts didn't mention that at all.  The fly is a full six inches long and there isn't even an overlap, so when you wear them there is an opening that king kong could fall through.

These are described as boardshorts and I know boardshorts very well, living along the coast Ive worn them all of my life. They are meant to pull on in the morning and wear them until you say goodnight to your friends after having a few brews with them. You wear them while swimming and at the supermarket and to the gym.  These are not boardshorts by any stretch of the imagination, and if you wore them in public the only place you would be going is to jail for public exposure.

I don't often leave only one star, after all there must be something positive to say. But nope, back they go.
