    Fave summer set

    I now have 2 sets of the solar cool shirt and shorts, I love them so much. I’ve worn them to the beach, to Disney and Universal, running errands. This exactly what you want to be wearing in extreme heat. Super lightweight and sweat wicking, and they stay dry.

    Wanted a high-waisted loose athletic short without a liner and this delivered. Waistband sits perfectly (my waist is 25.5-27") and stretches without pressuring my stomach (a big deal). I can tighten it if needed, e.g. if I have my phone in my pocked and I don't want the shorts to ride down.

    When I wear this high waisted, the shorts ride up a tad, but when lounging or running errands this is not a concern. Wouldn't run in these, but great for walking.

    Beautiful shorts - great cut, color, and length! If you are in between sizes, size down. These definitely feel like more lounge, casual wear than workout gear. Perfect for a beach coverup or hiking clothes.

    I Love OV shorts. They hit just right for me. I never feel like I'm hanging out LOL. It's also very comfortable. I'm already buying 2 pairs.
