Customers consistently praise the Kontour™ 4" Short for its excellent fit, especially accommodating athletic and curvy body types with a small waist and fuller thighs. The shorts offer a comfortable stretch fabric that allows ease of movement, making them ideal for activities like hiking, kayaking, and everyday wear. Users appreciate the durable, high-quality material combined with a stylish, flattering cut that balances comfort and appearance. Functional features such as multiple well-sized pockets and an adjustable waistband enhance convenience. The shorts perform well across diverse scenarios, from outdoor adventures to casual outings, with many customers noting the perfect length and versatile color options.
These shorts are comfortable and they look great. Just wish they were sized better. I agree with others that they run slightly small. I ordered my regular 2 size (4”11, 108 lbs) and the fit was tighter than normal. (I wear a size 2 in the kontour skirt). I exchanged the shorts for a size 4. They’re definitely more comfortable but not as fitted. I kept the 4 as I don’t like feeling constrained. I’ve used them in multiple contexts and they’ve helped up well. Like I said just wish the fit was more consistent.

Love the fit and fabric
I have these as pants and wear them to work (doc at a hospital) all the time. They are comfortable, with just enough stretch, great pockets and clean look. The shorts are as good as the pants. I love the length. I'm short and hate shorts that are on the longer side and end up near my knee. These are perfect. Very comfortable, good color goes w...

Perfect fit
I found these shorts on a clearance rack at an athletic store a couple years ago and have loved them! They fit well on my small waist/big quad body. They are my only shorts that I truly enjoy how they look.

Easy to love
They have a broken-in feel that you'll love. Great ease of motion and these will quickly become one of your go-to pairs of shorts.

I love the weight for
I love the weight for when I want to wear a little heavier fabric when summer shorts are appropriate. Would not wear outdoors hiking when temperature and humidity are "really" high...just a little too warm.

Great shorts
While these shorts are not inexpensive, they are super comfortable and wear well over time. Worth the investment.

Love these shorts!
These are my absolute favorite shorts! I have an athletic build with muscular legs and these shorts are perfect. I had to have them in 3 different colors! They colors are exactly as pictured and the cut doesn’t dig in to my legs!

Kontour Short 4"
Ever since I discovered these at my local hiking store, I have been absolutely hooked on this company. The shorts are the most comfortable I have ever worn.
