The thing about board shorts is that they have to fit right to even be usable.  And, these don't fit right.  They are size 34 and I am a full 34, edging toward 35.  So, I was hoping these wouldn't be too tight.  I was worried about the wrong thing.  These are too large and there's very little adjustment or tightening available with the drawstring.  So, my size 34 shorts hang so low I can't really wear them without running the risk of indecent exposure.  If they did fit, they'd be great.  Fabric is high tech and quick drying.  Pattern looks great.  Quality seems high.  But, they're too big.  I'll generously give 3 stars, but they're really worthless for me.  Wish I could have tried them on, but actually the manufacturer just needs to figure out how to size shorts and maybe design the drawstring so that it provides a little adjustment.
