Upon receiving these I was immediately surprised at how comfortable and maleable these shorts are. The waistband feels secure without feeling too stretchy like a gym short or constricting like a belt; coupled with the semi-stretchy drawstring that is familiar for Janji products I feel confident going in for a dive without losing my shorts. The snap button and pocket zippers are low-profile and strong without sharp edges so no pool liners are at risk if that is a concern. The material does not cling when wet so it remains modest, and it dries surprisingly quickly even when saturated. This is a fantastic choice for riverside trail stops, waterfall hikes, or even urban exploring your coastal beach city.
