There is an internal zippered pocket on the right leg. In my opinion, this was a poor design/execution.

The "invisible zipper" creates more bulk and "height" in an area that already has lots of stitches. This creates a lot of stacking of the fabric, which is thicker and stiffer than typical swim shorts.

Then the zipper runs the entire height of the pocket into the join between 2 layers of mesh and a layer of swim fabric. Then that swim fabric is either folded over or has some other backing material for the stitch and this all runs horizontally across the thigh.

The extra bulk creates a pressure point on the thigh, which causes discomfort. Sitting in these shorts is also uncomfortable since it pulls the fabric against the thigh even tighter.

I liked the concept of the water reactive fabric but this pocket makes it really uncomfortable to wear.

At $70 USD though, this does compete with swim shorts from O'Neill or Vuori so it seems reasonable to nit pick some smaller details, but none as egregious as the pocket bulk:
- I understand it's a preference but the inseam length is shorter than I'd like. This information was not available in the product description prior to purchase.
- Sizing runs larger than usual but at least the size chart was accurate
- Using full mesh for the pocket seems like it would be a common point of failure. Given how often hands and objects go in and out of pockets, it just seems like a matter of time before the mesh rips from normal wear and tear

Overall, I'm extremely disappointed by this product and have rated it 1 out of 5. Cool idea, but pricey (I paid the full price) and uncomfortable to wear.

they dry quickly, and are super comfortable in and out of water. also POCKETS

I used these shorts during a week-long vacation, and I’m really not satisfied — especially for the price. The pattern started fading after just a few days in a slightly salty pool. By the end, it would only show when splashed with a bit of water but disappeared immediately when soaked.

The design isn’t great either: the pockets are made of the same net material, so anything inside bounces around uncomfortably while moving. The cut also feels awkward — instead of flowing out of the way when walking, it slightly gets in the way.

The so-called “quick-dry” feature is misleading too; it loses a lot of water quickly but then stays damp for a long time.

And another pet peeve: the flat cord in the waistband. It constantly coils up inside the rim, where you can’t access it—my OCD dosnt like that.

Overall, for the price, I expected much better quality and design.

Look forward to actually use them

The Shorts seem great but they run way too big and while I am generally pleased with ltt store customer support I was very dissapointed to be told that despite paying full price for this item because my order included other items from Lime Day I could not exchange anything from the order.
