This is the second pair of these for my husband. He loves them. They are long enough to be 'discreet' for yoga and exercising, a great choice for a hike, and as a casual pair in the occasional warm weather we get. Easy to care for, looks good, great fit.
These shorts are great for riding on the beach, jumping in the ocean, or for just walking around. Frabic is lightweight and dries quickly. I wear them eveywhere.
I bought these to wear while my coolmax quick dry underwear was drying (semi-quickly due to humidity in India and Vietnam). I slept in them, hiked (OK, urban hiking, which is also called walking) and actually worked (computer input stuff) in them and they are GREAT!
My husband and 2 sons both wear LL Bean Swim shorts. The most important feature is the material that is very quick drying. In addition they have convenient pockets and hold their color. They are a great value.
