I got these shorts for my 6 year old son. These are the most durable shorts he has ever owned. The fit is a bit loose and baggy, flared and above the knees, giving 90s vibes. The iconic ACG logo on the front gives these shorts instant cred without being too flashy. I love that the fabric is fairly light, water resistant, and feels ultra sturdy. The built-in belt is a nice touch and super useful; my son is on the skinnier side so the belt helps these pants stay in place. He doesn't really ever wear belts so it's a novel and fun thing for him. These shorts do come with a mesh brief, which I suppose offers versatility for water situations. For us, we decided to cut the mesh lining out to make them "regular" shorts; I think if my son was going to get really wet, we would put him in proper swim trunks.
