I am 5'5 with a 40-in waist, and 50-in hips. I ordered the 2x, and they fit perfectly! They are lightweight, and quick to dry when they get wet. I like that you can dress them up or dress them down, or simply wear them on the beach or pool. Perfect coverage!
Very comfortable. Good stretch in the pants. I like swum shorts because they Caan be used versatile as an outfit to walk around in, and/or bathing suit when ur ready to get in the water. I ended up just finding a tanking with gray color in it to match as if the outfit came together, yet they didn't.
Super comfy! I like how it ties up:) I think I should have sized down but loose is nice as well.
Great board/swim shorts! You will love them.
I love these!!!
I was worried about the fit. I have an apron belly that makes it near impossible to find shorts that don’t pinch my stomach or ride up in the thighs. I didn’t need to worry. The fit is perfect. Nothing pinches or binds. The legs stay in place. I’m am extremely pleased. Finally, a pair of shorts I can wear in comfort.
Very comfy and the material is nice. True to size.
Shorts are perfect! Sizing was exact for me and they are So comfortable in or out of the water! Very happy with my order!
I'm so glad I found these board shorts! They are long enough to cover my thighs & so lightweight that it feels like I have nothing on. I haven't tested them in water yet, but I'm sure theyre gonna be easy to swim in. Pretty color too. I did size up 1 size & I'm glad I did because they fit just right and aren't tight along the legs or at the waist.
Great fit and quality. The color is awesome.
Soft feel and they dry quick! I like the liner. Will be buying more for my next vacation.
They are very nice quality and fit well. Great buy.
They dry fast and fit good.
They were good material and fit good.
The comfort, the fabric, the length. Didn’t feel too bulky or like a lot of extra fabric, but covered everything I wanted covered. Love how quickly they dry.
I have been buying Maui Rippers / Maui Mermaids for years! The fit is amazing and I have received many compliments. They are perfect for being in the ocean and in the pool. To be honest I wear them day to day too.
Fantastic!
Love the loose fit of this shorts and the quick drying and comfortable material. It’s hard to find board shorts that both look and feel good for us big girls. These totally fit the bill.
Wonderful!
Love the shorts. It’s a great purchase specially if you’re a woman, you got a little meat on you. It’s completely comfortable.
Christina from California was terrific she helped to expedite my size return in time for my vacation. Great customer service.
They are comfrontable
Good fit and fabric. Just what was needed.
Exactly what I was looking for in a swim short! Not too short, not too long either and very comfortable. Plus, they look good, too.
I don’t wear shorts, especially in public. But the length is perfect and the fabric feels great. Happy, happy with the one pair that I purchased and wish I already had more!
The fit is accurate, most comfortable boardshorts.
These don't cling you like fish skin. You can wear them to swim or just for shorts, no changing. And they have a pocket! I love them.
Comfortable. Light weight.
I'm so happy I found these boardshorts. They're light and comfy. The material is very stretchy and provides great coverage for my less than ideal thighs. I'm 5'5" and normally wear 20w. I ordered up one size to 3x because I wanted a looser fit and they fit perfectly.
I am happy with my order
Quality made…comfortable washes up nicely
