Customer Reviews Prana Makenna Board Short

Really like these shorts. I am 5'8", 145, athletic build, with some extra junk in the trunk. The shorts fit well, are long enough to cover any unsightly cellulite, and don't drag when you get out of ocean water (as many other board shorts do). Fabric pattern and wear is fabulous. I highly recommend these shorts.

Ordered these for upcoming cruise, they are perfect for land to sea excursions. They fit like shorts but dry really fast when wet, looks cute with bikini top, I ordered the prana grape swirl bikini top and it matched perfectly! The size ran pretty true I thought, I wear a 6 to 8 in pants and was not sure if I should get the small or medium. The small fit perfect, and I can be hard to fit because I'm curvy through hips but smaller in waist, but there was no gap at waistline. Also I'm 49, so these provided good coverage but still looked trendy, I absolutely love them.

Love these. Pricey but worth it. Really flattering. Narrow leg but not tight. Cling in the perfect way, not too much. Cool, quick dry material with just a touch of stretch. They run small.

Love these shorts, but they run small! I am a 12/14 and these are snug. They look great and they have stretched, but know that it's not you, it's them if you find yourself needing to order way up in these. Other than that, I wore them everyday of vacation for a variety of activities- snorkel, hiking, kayaking, drinking- and they were comfortable and looked great.

These fit so well and they are cute! I haven't worn them out yet but I'm excited for some water adventures. I am waiting for the other color in my size so I can buy that too! I love that Prana clothes are sustainable and ethically made.

These are great swim shorts. They dry super fast and are very comfortable. The fit is perfect, not too short, not too long.

I love them; perfect for jet skiing. Flattering fit and true to size! I would buy a second pair!

I love these shorts. They are just what I needed. They look good, feel good, and dry fast. These are awesome board shorts!

Very cute board shorts! They are a comfy, stretchy material that moves with your body. I went up a size to have them fit more like men's shorts.

Zappos has excellent customer service. I ordered the wrong size and returning the item was as easy as 1, 2, 3. Zappos also provides the prepaid label!

These are even cuter than in the picture. They are really comfortable and stretch well but don't stretch out. They have a hip look.

The less expensive board shorts fit just fine, but I ended up keeping these as well. Typical Prana, lovely design and unique fabric. These are lighter than other board shorts I've tried but still give enough coverage. I thought the sizing was pretty standard for Prana.

Based on another review, I ordered a small in these (I'm almost always a 6 in pants unless it's a story with vanity sizing, in which case I'm a 4), and they were way too tight. They fit, but like a glove. The medium might have been better, but the size 6 NorthFace board shorts I ordered are perfect so I'm keeping those.

Medium fit my waist Perfect. Too tight on my 23" thigh. For skinny leg people only. Would have LOVED these to have fit!
