    Just got these and am very happy I ordered. Lots of pockets, some with zippers to keep your stuff sorted out. Nice light quick dry material. XL is a great fit for my 38" waist and the elastic waist is a nice feature.I think I will order another pair, exactly my style.
  • Well Designed - Well Made
    I normally wear a 34" waist and have plenty of room in the seat. These could use more room in the seat. Resizing so that S=31-33"; M=33-35"; and L=35-37" waist would work better for me and...

    I bought these shorts primarily for wearing over a chamois for tour-cycling, and they didn't dissapoint. They are very comfortable, lightweight, and have held up well to rubbing against my bike's seat for many a mile. They only got wet once in a light rain, but dried out very quickly. I now have three pairs of these shorts, and wear them a lot.
  • good value for the money.
    wear for hiking
  • Functional practical fun shorts
    Used for hiking but everyday wearable. Durable, long lasting between washes. Lots of Velcro pocktes. Great value
  • PLEASE bring back the old design
    PLEASE REI, read this review and others like it. The old design (internal belt, circa 2010 or so) were the BEST SHORTS I have EVER owned. I bought 3 pairs and I'm down to one now that are ...

    PLEASE REI, read this review and others like it. The old design (internal belt, circa 2010 or so) were the BEST SHORTS I have EVER owned. I bought 3 pairs and I'm down to one now that are functional, because I wore them constantly, for everything. The new deisgn with the removable belt are not nearly as nice. Material not quite as good, and the belt is a pain. I would gladly pay list price for 5 pairs of the old design - they were that good. PLEASE BRING THEM BACK!!!
  • Great shorts for all times
    I wear these shorts camping, hiking traveling, around the house, the shorts I have.
  • Why change?
    I've purchased a bunch of these shorts over the years. Loved them! (past tense) The old design was far superior. I don't like the new, removeable belt. If the old belt were kept, there would...

    I've purchased a bunch of these shorts over the years. Loved them! (past tense) The old design was far superior. I don't like the new, removeable belt. If the old belt were kept, there would be no need for elastic, which is uncomfortable. The material this time around seems weak. REI, I hope you're reading. Why change a good thing? I hope you go back soon. Otherwise, I'm on the hunt for new, favorite shorts.
