Reviews

"I’m 5’11” and 147 lbs. I ordered size three pair of the size 30. The sizing, cut, and overall fit are excellent. They’re made of mostly cotton and nylon, with a bit of spandex. This material combo will make them perfect for my time on the golf course. I like these shorts so much that I’m ordering three more pair. They can be dressed up or down. I’ll wear these for outdoor activity and to a nice dinner. Really a great find!"

Performance short

"Great summer shorts. Super light weight and quick drying. Perfect alternative to the original chino short when the summer heat and humidity gets up there. Great color selection as well."

— Dave J. (5/5)

If you wear non-cotton performance gear…

"Typically, I prefer cotton or some types of blended cotton, because so many of these performance fabrics just plain and simply feel too much like plastic. They look fake, no wrinkles, too perfect of a look to be called “natural”, at least in my opinion! Because it’s Duck Head; I tried a pair and ordered them with a pair of the Gold School Cotton shorts, because I knew I’d like at least one! Surprisingly, the performance shorts I kept and love them. They aren’t ready to replace my cotton shorts, but on a really warm day or depending what else you’re wearing with it; these are really nice! Highly recommend them over some other well known brands!"
