Great shorts. Breathable. Easy to clean. Almost as if they are impossible to stain. Great for work and hiking. Can be used for swimming also as they dry relatively fast. I own multiple colors of these shorts. 5’11 205 lbs. I got 36” waist 7” inseam.
Pros: Comfortable, adjustable waist, includes belt loop, quick-drying fabric, durable fabric. Con: The only peculiar thing is a zip pocket that slants backwards: I think this pocket is supposed to accommodate a phone. However, I usually want to stash a compass, altimeter or other object either straight down or forwards. Summary: These became my favorite hiking shorts! Thank you!
I really like these shorts for hiking. The material stretches and is very light weight. Good length for lots of leg movement. Just back from three days at Glacier National Park and great for all weather we encountered - sunshine and drizzle (under a poncho). I like a button vs. a draw string, to keep them snug. The zipper has a slight gap at the top, but NBD.
I ruck, hike and backpack in these shorts. I actually wound up buying all 5 colors. They breathe extremely well, dry extremely fast, love the draw string and its location inside the shorts. No need for a belt. The 7” inseam is the perfect length. Very comfortable and good looking shorts.
Expensive but gr8. The North Face always brings the quality.
