Clocking in at a featherweight 88 GSM (a number so low, it made this copywriter double-check two different product decks and triple-check with the product designer herself) the insanely lightweight Driftlight Short is purpose-built for the dog days of summer. You know those sweltering days where it feels like the sun has a personal grudge against you? These were built for that. When putting anything on feels like a chore, you’ll be glad to already have these impossibly lightweight, moisture-wicking shorts in your closet.

Lightest Weight Shorts Ever
These shorts are the lightest, most breathable shorts I've ever owned. I bought them in two colors and love them both. They are so soft and quick dry. I wear them golfing, hiking, rafting... you name it and they're perfect for every activity. I'd recommend these to anyone. The "hidden zipper" pocket is also awesome for storing your phone. It doesn't fall out of your pocket or dangle below the shorts from the weight of the phone. With the size of phones today, it's hard to not look like you have a brick in your pocket but these shorts pull it off. I love them!!

Light, Comfy, Wish Pockets Were Better Design
These are lovely shorts. I like that that have recycled fabric and the fit and feel is great. The pockets leave something to be desired though. Because the material is so light and the pockets land more on the front of the body, anything in your pocket, phone, keys, wallet, REALLY is bulky and uncomfortable, both in look and feel. The fabric is so light, it almost feels like nothing at all (love!). I feel like changing the design slightly to have almost a side pocket like leggings do, but making it internal like a front pocket instead of external like a legging, would really elevate these shorts. Also, sometimes the pocket sticks out when sitting down which isn’t a good look. I do like that there’s a zippered pocket though! As far as the fit, they are cute and accentuate the good and don’t draw attention to belly pooch or anything. Waistband is super comfortable, no rolling, no digging, just perfect. Drawstring stays tied. Drapes very flatteringly on butt, hips and thighs. Overall, the look, comfort, ecofriendliness and SPF outweigh the design issues and I would recommend them. Wish they were a five star short though!

Soft And Comfy
I wanted a short that was lightweight and soft but I need pockets. These fit the bill perfectly. I am 5'9" and 122 lbs. and I bought an XS. They fit just right and look great on. The fabric is soft and drapes beautifully. I am obsessed with these shorts.

Best Summer Shorts!!
These shorts are so lightweight and flowy, perfect for hot muggy days! I love the feel of the fabric, it’s barely there and silky. The fit is really great too. I’m 5’4”, ~140lbs, and normally I’m a small, but I got the medium because I wanted the extra length and space and they’re perfect! I wear them over my leggings or all day shorts when I run and they are so comfy! I would love to see this fabric in a longer pant for the really brutal days when I’m trying to keep cool and covered, I think they would’ve so comfy as long pants! But all in all, these shorts are going to be a summer staple, they dry so quickly and stay so soft and silky, no matter what I’m doing.
