“To start, these are my favorite pair of shorts. Very comfortable and functional. I originally had the long pants version of the Layover and loved them, so I bought the shorts version. The reason for 3 stars is because after two washes the color started to fade, particularly along the front. It's unfortunate because I also own the black pants version of the Layovers and it did not do that for me — same wash setting (cold water, color safe detergent). I want to get another pair or two of Layover shorts because I've been traveling quite a bit over the past 2-3 years, but I can't bring myself to do so because of the color fade!”
“I know there is a tie system but I am used to wearing my shorts a little loose and then a belt to keep it on my body. Would be a perfect pair if they had belt support.”
“once i attempted to wear them, i realized i had to tie and untie the draw string all day long. its funny i wouldn't have thought about it before i tried them on and it struck me. also, the pockets feel kind of awkward in terms of holding stuff. it felt like things were poking out from my leg.”
“Good travel shorts. Love the zipper pockets and draw string.
However I wash them in cold water inside out and always line dry they have faded on the tops that face the sun, rather quickly. I find that this happens with cheaper dyes and most trousers I purchase that are made in China do this.”
“These shorts are amazing! I wear them more than any other item in my wardrobe. I love the style and the way they fit. The zip pockets are my favorite feature. However, the only thing I'd do differently next time is buy a smaller size because the fabricate gives a bit over time.”
